Hey Sugarbear.

Hey Sugarbear,

We're 10 days out from our Boulder CD release show at the Fox Theatre for Beautiful Empty. Good Lord. This show's gonna be hotter than two rats kissin' in a wool sock.

Scroll down to see all of the incredibly cool music+film+art that will be happening that night. Also, Love Hope Strength will be there signing up donors to help fight cancer. (Hell yes.)

Oh, and tell your friends who had U2 tickets to come drown their sorrows at our show. I'll personally give them a hug and softly sing "With Or Without You" in their ear. Also, they'll save $5 if they buy tickets in advance. Here's the ticket/info link:

Bus Ride To/From The Show? - Denver People!
For Denver peeps, Wynkoop Brewing Company is willing to charter a bus from downtown Denver to the Fox Theatre and back the night of the show. The cost would be $10 but you'd get a safe ride to and from the show AND they're gonna throw in a free beer during the ride up! They need 40 people to make it worthwhile. HURRY UP and email us at letters@johncommon.com if you and your friends are interested, and we'll keep you posted.

Love ya and see you soon!

This Saturday at Walnut Room in Denver!

Hello Foxes and Tigers,

I hope you're all hopped up and ready to come to our show on Sat, March 13th at The Walnut Room.
Do you know about the The Walnut Room? It's one of the best sounding venues in Colorado
(not just my opinion). This will be our first headlining show in Denver since releasing our new record,
Beautiful Empty.

We'll be playing songs from the new record plus some others... we'll have a guest or two on stage as
well. And we'll be starting the whole thing off with some of those short films inspired by songs from
Beautiful Empty. It's going to be quite the night.

Here's what we've cooked up for you:

Date: Saturday, March 13, 2010

Venue: The Walnut Room

Artists: John Common & Blinding Flashes of Light
Dan Craig Band w/ Jessica Sonner
The West

Location: 3131 Walnut Street, Denver, CO 80205 (Here's a map)

Ticket Price: $9 in advance / $12 DOS / 21+

Buy Tickets Now: http://www.thewalnutroom.com/show/detail/27612
(It might sell out)

Hours: Doors at 7:30 pm, Show at 8pm

ALSO: The Love Hope Strength Foundation has been invited to continue their important work to fight
cancer by signing up bone marrow donors that night, and will be sponsoring the event as well.
Here's their website.

Love,
