The Chicago Shows List
This week only: Lyric-free!
Shows of note as of 5/2/96
All content copyright 1996 Andy Lester.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER...
There are 819 subscribers from .edu sites on the Shows List, and I
imagine quite a few of you are going to be unsubscribing for the summer
in the coming weeks. Let's see what we can do to make this as painless
as possible for ol' Uncle Andy.
If you want to stop getting the list, please send me an email message
with "DROP <your@address.edu>" as the subject. This will make it much
easier for me to process the big batches of them that I expect.
If you're coming back in the fall, with the same email address, and
want to be put "on hold" for the summer, send me a message with the
subject "SUSPEND <your@address.edu>". It'll make it easier for me to
reinstate you in the fall.
Substitute your real email address for <your@address.edu>. Duh.
A SUBSTITUTE CONTEST!
Write a poem to advertise the Shows List on bathroom walls in clubs.
It should be a limerick, a variation on "roses are red", or something
suitable for the john. Here's one I came up with:
If you like bands that frighten your mom,
But you never know what's going on
Whether male or female
Send off some email
To shows@tezcat.com
Surely someone out there can do better than that.
The poem MUST contain the Shows List email address (shows@tezcat.com).
If you're REALLY good and can work in the web URL
(http://www.tezcat.com/~andy/shows/), more power to you.
Winners receive the standard Shows List Dollar. Multiple prizes will
be awarded as needed. Put POEM in the subject to make it easier on me.
GUESS THE REFERENCE -- LAST WEEK'S WINNERS
Boy, you're all poets. The answer was The Smiths' "Frankly Mr.
Shankly", and 7 of the 24 correct answers made up your own verse to
follow "Frankly Mr. Lester". My favorite was from Dan Backhaus:
Frankly Mr. Lester, this position I've held
it informs of shows, but it takes long to download
I want to unsubscribe, you will not miss me
I want to go down in Chicago Shows history
Frankly Mr. Lester, I'm a sickening wreck
I've got ever last sysop breathing down my neck
I've got to delete fast, all the old lists
Or I will exceed my quota space for discs
Some of you also noted that the line is "I'd rather be famous...", not
"We'd...". I know, but then it would have sounded right at the top of
the List. We always refer to ourselves first person plural.
Random winner: Andy Larson in Valparaiso, IN.
Winners, send me your US Mail address.
CONTACT INFORMATION
Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>. For subscriptions, tell me where you found
out about us, and whether you'd like date or venue order.

RULES FOR GUESS THE REFERENCE:
At the top of the Chicago Shows List each week, a lyrical/literary
reference appears. Your job is to figure out what it is, and make an entry.
* Entries must be mailed to <shows@tezcat.com>, and should contain the
word "GUESS" at the beginning of the subject line. Your guess must
include both title of the song, as well as artist/band. If it's a
literary reference, it should contain the title of the work, as well as
the author's name.
* There are two ways you can win: Best Entry and Random Correctness.
* Best Entry: The best entry to be submitted will win. It could be
the funniest, or the most knowledgeable, or whatever. It's up to
you. My decision will be entirely subjective. Your entry must
still contain a guess, and I'll weight heavily in favor of those
who get it right.
If you win Best Entry, I'll reproduce your entry in next week's
list, so don't put anything in there you don't want published.
("This is one of my favorite songs! I last heard it while cheating
on my wife...")
* Random Correctness: I will randomly select an entry from all those
with correct answers.
* Only one entry may be made per week. Deadline for entry is whenever I
mail out the next week's list.
* It is possible that no prize will be awarded for a category. If there
are no correct answers, then the Random Correctness category will have
no winner. If I don't think any entries should win Best Entry, then
they won't.
* The prize will always be a genuine Shows List Dollar, mailed by US
Mail. It is the winner's responsibility to check the next week's list
and claim the prize. If you don't claim it, I don't mail it.
