Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATES/CORRECTIONS ------------------- The Mighty Mighty Bosstones show on 11/7 is now at the Vic. GREENHOUSE: GODS OF HIP ----------------------- The mighty Greenhouse will be opening for the Mighty Blue Kings at Double Door on Nov 1. I can think of no bigger booty-moving this year. DESCENDENTS FOR THE OUT-OF-TOWNERS ---------------------------------- OK, all you out-of-towners who want to see the Descendents, here's the poop from Dave Eaves, the promoter of the show: Out of towners can send me money orders only, no checks! P. O. Box 14847 Chicago IL 60614 payable to: David Eaves Tell them to enclose a phone # (pref. one with an answering machine) and I'll call them to tell them I rec'd the order and I will hold the tickets for them at the door. I will not mail tickets to them. And if that ain't clear enough, mail to CallD4info@aol.com. GUESS THE REFERENCE ------------------- Last week's: I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single CSL The correct answer is "Me & Bobby McGee", made famous by Janis Joplin. Lots of you pointed out that it was written by everyone's favorite Rhodes scholar, Kris Kristofferson. 14 people got it right, 2 got it wrong. Best entry is from Kimberly Sluis who didn't even bother trying to answer, but merely replied: "I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single slice of cheese". Heck, it might not even have been an entry, but she wins anyway. Random correct winner is Emily Bernstein. Winners, send me your USmail addresses. This week's entrants: BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR NAME, so I know what to call you if you win. I had to pick a different random winner this week because he/she didn't put his/her name on his/her entry. Send your entries for this week to shows@tezcat.com. Be sure to include your name in the entry so I can tell you if you win, as well as band name and song title. 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.
