Can't go to Europe, then eat CAKE

Well we were all set to fly to England and start our European journey and a volcano erupts and all flights to Europe are cancelled for a week. What luck. The first day they let planes out was the same day as our original flight. So we sat in the airport for the afternoon assuming we were going to England, then 30 minutes before the flight its definitely a no go, passengers must have a British passport to get on the plane as they have been stranded in Calgary for the last week by the Icelandic wonder Eyjafgallajokull. So what do you do when your dreams have been crushed........ Go see CAKE! Once we found out that CAKE was coming to town when we were supposed to be in Europe we were pretty bummed...wanting to see them for quite a while.
We quickly left the airport and headed for the University of Calgary to see if there was still tickets and luckily there was. We then got to see one of the tightest bands I've seen in a while. It was a tiny show, I would say no more then 650. The band was great and even gave a tree to a lucky fan to plant in her yard and to keep the band updated with photos of the trees progress.. something they do at every show. Overall it was great to re-live some 90's greats. Even the new material sounded great... Release date coming soon..............
