Cake at Freeborn Hall UC Davis on Thursday, October 6th & Friday, October 7th. Tickets are $TBA. On Sale FRI through Tickets.com.

(Note: Tickets.com should get a clue about how nice it would be for customers if they displayed the cost of a ticket in advance of the on sale date. Not into surpises when it comes to spending my $ these days. Tickets will go FAST...it's been awhile since Cake played a show in the SAC area.)
