Chicago 1 was Sunday, August 23.
Don't get me wrong, this sheet would not be worth any less (to me) if it were from the Toronto show versus the either Chicago show. Just curious! :?
It was either a typo or someone just forgot to change the date on the template. Bad Religion is listed on the call sheet (only played in Chi).
Thanks for confirming. I can't trust my own recall (let alone web research)
I'd bid on it, but it is already a teensy bit out of my price range.
Love your username!
They need all the money they could use for the defense fund.... I actually was inspired by your auction for WM3 that I spoke with my hubby about donating the signed Ryman poster... and he gave me that
It was all good Karma around that poster and I'd love to send good Karma with that poster, especially for WM3.
I hope I didn't make him sound like a selfish person but it was a personal thing...after all the shit we went through and the show was one of the highlights this year and we love to have a poster from each show we attend.
But I'll keep it in mind though.
Meanwhile, I will donate $$ to the defense fund when I am able to - been meaning to the last few months but things keep coming up.... arggh.
It's up at $70.00 with 8 days to go... what do you figure it'd go for?

You might find this piece interesting - the Arkansas Supreme Court refuses to release the sealed documents - even after the Freedom of Information was requested and no official memo/document to "seal" the documents by a CLERK at the court - I repeat, a CLERK - who said "in the 29 years he'd worked for the court he had been sealing records as he saw fit, that the justices were aware that he was, “could have stopped me but they haven't.” "(Retrieved September 6, 2009 from http://wm3.vox.com/library/post/the-rec ... ealed.html).
The full article: http://wm3.vox.com/library/post/the-rec ... ealed.html
My personal notes:
Whether you think they really did it or not - a clerk should not have the power to control the documents for the public!
Don't you think if they really thought they were guilty, they'd be more than happy to share these documents - hmm?
This case was handled very poorly and we should be raising hell! It could have been you or me not getting a fair trial.

ABOVE THE LAW
Add another cynical twist to the farce masquerading as justice in the case of the West Memphis Three. And jot up another reason to distrust Arkansas's Supreme Court.
As those who've followed the West Memphis case are aware, the high court ruled unanimously that there was nothing legally amiss in the two 1994 trials that led to the convictions of Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley Jr., and Jason Baldwin, who were 18, 17, and 16 years old at the time.
Echols was sentenced to death, Misskelley and Baldwin to life in prison. All are now middle-aged men.
The justices were willing to accept Misskelley's so-called confession, in which almost every detail he offered police was something they knew to be wrong. The court was not troubled by the fact that a minor had been questioned for hours and allowed to make a statement without a parent or lawyer present.
They also had no problem swallowing the testimony of a self-proclaimed “expert in the occult,” whose testimony supported the state's theory that the murders were part of a satanic ritual, despite his admission that his Ph.D. came from a mail-order university.
On the other hand, the justices dismissed defense arguments that the state had produced no weapon, no eyewitness, no sign of a satanic ritual, and no credible physical evidence linking the three to the murders.
Because of his death sentence, appeals for Echols have proceeded faster than for the other two. Affidavits filed earlier this year allege that serious juror misconduct occurred during the trial of Echols and Baldwin; specifically, that the foreman discussed the case outside of court, in violation of the judge's orders.
Judge David Burnett ordered the affidavits to be sealed. The documents were supposed to have been sent to the Arkansas Supreme Court as part of Echols' final state appeal. But, to the surprise of Echols' lawyers, they were not.
When the lawyers complained, the Supreme Court ordered Burnett to forward the affidavits. In June, a clerk for Burnett told me, “We searched for them and eventually found them. We didn't realize we had them.”
In July, I contacted Leslie Steen, the clerk for the Supreme Court, and asked to see all the documents recently filed on behalf of Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley. It was a reasonable request. With few exceptions, court records are supposed to be public.
Steen told me that I could see none of them. He explained that, because some of the documents for Echols had been sealed by Burnett, he had taken it upon himself to seal the filings of all three men in their entirety.
I was under the impression that only courts have the power to seal records. I asked Steen to cite the statute that granted that power to a clerk.
“There is none,” he said. “This is just one of our internal procedures.”
I asked if there was a written policy or even a memo from the Supreme Court to that effect. “No,” he said. “It's not in writing.”
Steen continued: “The court understands how we do things down here, and it seems to meet with their approval.” He said that in the 29 years he'd worked for the court he had been sealing records as he saw fit, that the justices were aware that he was, “could have stopped me but they haven't.”
I then filed a written Freedom of Information request with Steen for the records. He called me the next day to say my request was denied “because the records are sealed.”
In February 2007, the Arkansas Supreme Court issued an administrative order addressing public access to court records. It says that, “Public access shall be granted to court records,” subject to certain limitations, such as for records that have been “rendered confidential by protective order, by this order, or otherwise by law.”
Nowhere does the order mention that records may be sealed and barred to public access by a clerk. To the contrary, the Supreme Court's Administrative Order Number 19 declares:
“This order recognizes there are strong societal reasons for allowing public access to court records, and denial of access could compromise the judiciary's role in society, inhibit accountability, and endanger public safety.
“Open access allows the public to monitor the performance of the judiciary, furthers the goal of providing public education about the results in cases, and, if properly implemented, reduces court staff time needed to provide public access.”
I believe that the Arkansas Supreme Court is in violation of this state's Freedom of Information Act and that its own clerk is violating an administrative order that every other court clerk is obliged to obey.
Like so much about this case, it's a shame.

Even if i had a million dollars i wouldn't get this, just dont see the hype in signatures.
You can also follow the case on twitter.... http://twitter.com/wm3org
I've been doing some reading today...as I am so far behind being in my own sorry and pitiful world... and I can't tell you how very upsetting this is. Drama from the friend's mother of the murdered children admitted she had lied and was involved in the whole mess with the police (she even apologized for her wrongdoings and is supporting the case)...to Christopher Bryer's step-father, MIchael Bryer, who "cried and mourned" in front of the camera, who according to the same friend whose mother lied, witnessed abuse of his friend Chris with Michael. Michael Bryer, who for years bashed the WM3 only to recently showing support for the WM3.... by writing a book. :roll: You figure it out. Somewhere (I lost memory of the source) it even documented that Michael had his teeth removed for fear of being investigated. Jesus.
That's the "lowest" level of corruption and the "highest" level is that clerk who had the friggin power to seal the documents??!!!!
The retired Forensics Pathologist, from Detroit, Werner Spitz testified on Monday, August 10, 2009, that "nearly all the external marks on the boys were caused by "animal predetation" such as bites from dogs, or water animals."
In his opinion, Dr. Spitz said, "all three died of drowning". Spitz said there was no evidence that a knife was used on the boys.
