Hey, Flying Colors (meaning you--- Steve, Mike, Neal, Dave and Casey!)---

SPECIAL EVENT!

This is going to be something really cool for anyone who loves to rock-- and especially those who love to prog-rock! Nick D'Virgilio, the lead singer from the mighty Spock's Beard,  is coming to do a solo music event at Flying Colors Comics.

Spock's Beard is known worldwide as the premier purveyors of style-hopping Neo-Progressive Rock, plus Nick has just released a cool EP-length CD of new songs of his own (plus one written by the late great Kevin Gilbert!). Nick is also currently the assitant band-leader and percussionist for Cirque Du Soleil's "Totem"--- now playing in San Francisco! Opening the show for Nick will be his Cirque Du Soleil bandmate Joshua Geisler.

Nick D'Virgilio and Libby at a Spock's Beard show, San Francisco 2005

Monday December 5, 2011
Door will open at 6:30PM
Show starts at 7:00PM
Realizing we're doing this on a Monday night, we're starting the show a little earlier, so we expect the show to be over a little after 9PM.

This event also celebrates Libby's birthday, so there will be cake, too!

At the end of the live music, Flying Colors will be giving each attendee of the show a valuable coupon-- so we hope you'll stick around and do a little holiday shopping!

While this will be a FREE show, there will be very limited reserved (and paid) seating. Each of the paid reserved seats will also receive a FREE signed copy of Nick's new CD "Pieces." Please email coolstuff@flyingcolorscomics.com for reserved seating prices and info.



Peace!
