ON THE ROAD FOR AUGUST 29

An interesting month ahead at Tuxedo Junction in Danbury. Not only has QUIET

RIOT been booked for a show on the 21st (changed from the original date of

September 18), but DOKKEN will also be playing, on the 16th. Quiet Riot is an

all-ages show, with Product of Society opening and $13 tickets when purchased

in advance (add $2 the night of the show). Dokken is a regular 21+ show, and

tickets are $16 in advance, $18 at the door.

Additional shows this month include SEAWEED next Tuesday night, with Creature

Did and an all ages audience; VOODOO GLOW SKULLS on Wednesday, Shelter

opening, all ages, with a very early 5:30 pm start (that's no typo at this

end, that's how the schedule reads); and GUSTER on Thursday, Thanks To Gravity

and Jade 42 opening, all ages. The following week, TREE-TALIFE performs

September 11, all ages; and at the end of the month, LIFE OF AGONY headlines a

show on September 28, with Dogman and Drain in the opening spots, again all

ages.

Tickets are finally on sale for the INXS show at The Oakdale on September 22.

That's a Monday, but who cares?? It's going to be a great show regardless of

the day it's played on!

Also new, and I've been meaning to mention it, is a concert by JEWEL at The

Oakdale. That show is going to be September 10. Tickets are going on sale next

Saturday (Sept 6) for two more shows at the Oakdale: STEVE WINWOOD, on October

5, and BLUES TRAVELER, October 27.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS has been added to the schedule at The Webster in Hartford

(where INXS was going to play originally, but the band's show - not to mention

the six-member band itself! - was too large for the Webster's stage, so it was

moved). The Giants will be playing Friday, September 5.

In case you have managed to miss the onslaught of commercials being played

between every other song on the station, Radio 104 has another of its Big Day

Off concerts in the works. At The Meadows in Hartford on October 4, this one

includes LOVE SPIT LOVE and THE OFFSPRING among its offerings. Tickets went on

sale Monday at $20 for Pavilion seats, $15 lawn, and the mosh pit tickets are

already gone.

It's amazing sometimes the things you can find while thumbing through the

phone book. Did you know SNET offers a toll-free daily update for the soap

operas we're missing while at work? I did not, until just a few nights ago.

Dial up 888/711-5050 and enter a four-digit code for your favorite soap, and

voila! - it's not only an update, but just about a play-by-play,

scene-by-scene recapping of what happened that day. Truly, it's a beautiful

thing!

So here are the code numbers: All My Children, 1400; Another World, 1402; As

The World Turns, 1404; The Bold and The Beautiful, 1406; Days Of Our Lives,

1408; General Hospital, 1410; Guiding Light, 1412; The City (is that one still

on?), 1414; One Life To Live, 1416; and The Young and The Restless, 1420. For

an inside look at the soaps, hit 1422 for Soap Scene.

Until next week, I'll be seeing you... on the side of the road, dialing up

your favorite soap updates from the nearby pay or car phone. (Stop the car and

get out. Don't do the driving-while-on-the-car-phone thing. Not cool.)
