NO LIST NEXT WEEK
There will not be a Shows List next week. You're on your own. If
there's any big news, I may send out a wimpy version on Wednesday.
CHANGES & CORRECTIONS
The May 11th show at Veteran's Acres has been rescheduled, and will not
include Sidekick Kato, as they have broken up.
DOES ANYONE WANT MORE SCHUBAS & FITZGERALD'S?
I've had a few requests to list more Schubas and FitzGerald's shows.
If you'd also like to see more shows from there, let me know now.
NEW SHOWS AT THE WORLD
There are some new shows listed at the World (Alanis, Cranberries), but
if I don't have ticket info listed for them, it's because I don't know
what it is.
PUNK RAWK BBQ
The following was submitted by CLRPLATE@aol.com. Mail him for any more
info necessary:
I'm throwing the 1st Annual BBQ Bash at my place. It's B.Y.O.M.
(Bring Your Own Meat) We'll have the grills fired up and some
condiments for your pleasure. And the best part is that it's FREE!
When: Sat. May 11th, noon-8:00p.m
Who: (in alphabetical order) At Large / The Decepticons / Herbal Flesh
Tea / Skagina / SuperSlueth / SwingSet / Tub Ring
Where: 605 W. Jackson, Naperville IL, 60540

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.
