SUBSCRIPTIONS & CORRESPONDENCE

you found out about us.
NEW SUBSCRIBERS APLENTY
This week I thought "Geez, there's a lot of new subscribers." Turns
out there are *91* new readers this week. I usually get about 10.
CHAMPAIGN-URBANA READERS
I'm amazed at the flood of U of I readers who are signing up lately.
There are now 116 uiuc.edu readers. In case you don't know about it,
Seth Hindin runs the Champaign-Urbana shows list. Mail him at
shows@uiuc.edu if you're interested.
MADISON, WI: DOES ANYONE CARE?
Every week I go through the Rob Jacob's fabulous Madison Shows List and
pick stuff out of it for inclusion here. Does anyone use it? Let me
know. If I don't hear from you, I'll just drop Madison stuff.
SMASHING PUMPKINS IN DEKALB
The following is from Seth Hindin's Champaign shows list. It's
probably too late for y'all, but who knows?
URGENT: SMASHING PUMPKINS AT NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERISTY NEXT FRIDAY!
Tickets go on sale at 6PM *TONIGHT* (10/12) for SMASHING PUMPKINS at
NIU. It's going to be in one week at a small room, so despite a two
ticket per person limit this is expected to sell out tonight. If you
have a friend at NIU call them right away and have them get you tickets
-- they're only available at the NIU Fieldhouse, not through
Ticketmaster or anywhere else. Thanks a lot to readers for tipping me
off about this!
I received preliminary info about this a day or two ago from a reader
who heard an interview with Billy Corgan and James Iha on Q101 in which
they stated that the Pumpkins would be playing a few shows soon in
DeKalb and Peoria as practice for their upcoming tour. Since this
information has proven correct so far *Peoria area readers please be on
the lookout*! Let me know ASAP if you hear any more about surprise
college appearances by Smashing Pumpkins -- I will make a special
mailing if I hear anything about this before next Thursday.
For the record, StarCourse and Assembly Hall have denied there will be
a show here at U of I, but who knows.
SMASHING PUMPKINS IN PEORIA
And I just now received from Seth...
SMASHING PUMPKINS SPECIAL UPDATE
I just received more information on SMASHING PUMPKINS in Peoria! The
show will be at The Madison Theatre on this coming Thursday, October
19th. Tickets are $12, but I do not know if they are available through
Ticketmaster or must be purchased at the Theatre or somewhere special.
For more information call the Madison Theatre at (309) 674-7529. Good
luck!
