Saturday, Dec. 17, 2005 Pisces Cafe 11 Railroad Ave., Babylon, NY 631-321-1231 www.piscescafe.net 8 PM - Kevin McLeod www.mcleodmusic.com Kevin is an acoustically based artist, John Ford asked to have as his opener.

This is a wonderful, intimate Cafe with limited seating - so come early! Great Food, Desserts, Cappuccinos & Cafe Lattes! "...Pisces is such a Bohemian refuge that painters often head down there with canvas, oils and a craving for panini sandwiches with apple, smoked Gouda, sautéed onion and honey mustard, served with fresh fruit or chips. Owners Justine and Jeff, both Pisces (the most creative sign), not only hang local artists' work on the walls, but keep the creative juices flowing with their eclectic menu of sandwiches, homemade brownies and cheese platters. If you dream of living like Picasso, make the art store your first stop and Pisces your second -- they've even had a rock opera written about them and released on CD." -- Simon Van Booy
