From: russells@ccu1.aukuni.ac.nz (Russell Street) Here is a list of the Goon Shows I have, with a very brief description of the ``plot''. If there are any corrections to the titles (I think some of them are wrong), or you can come up with better plot descriptions let me know. Additions are also welcome, as well as donation of small, unmarked bills of a major stable currency. (Flanin pobble beads (sp!!) are only exchangable for other Flanin pobble beads, so don't count.)
