Greetings all!
Sorry for being out of touch!  We've been busy prepping the amazing slate of summer shows... and we have one more MASSIVE SHOW to announce on Monday so watch for another email then - yes sooner than usual but you will want this one.  It will also include TWO MORE State Thetare shows so you don't get angry at two emails in a week.
 
As for Brewery Ommegang... what a show to kick it off from Cake!  Truly special... check the pics on our facebook page.  As for the facebook page... recent changes by facebook require you to take action to stay informed.  There's a post about how to do that at our page too.  Do that for us, won't you?
