my job is going to have me in chicago over new years and for most of the month of january. so, 2 questions: 1) can you recommend any good events for new years - not necessarily IDM, as my coworker probably won't have the patience (though i am gonna try to be persuasive). 2) good record shops with a good IDM section (i'm certainly not going to be looking for anything else - my coworker can go to Tower.) thanks... - d np - ulrich schnauss (yum, yum, yum!!!) ---------------------------------------------------- Sign Up for NetZero Platinum Today Only $9.95 per month! http://my.netzero.net/s/signup?r=platinum&refcd=PT97 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
