At the Cat's Cradle-Enter the Haggis, et al.

There are a couple of nifty shows coming to the Cat's Cradle nightclub in Carboro (Chapel Hill), NC, within the next few months.

The Canadian Celtic rock band Enter the Haggis which I first saw perform at my alma mater Radford University (in Radford, Va.) will perform on Wed., Sept. 2. Admission is $12/14.

A few days later, the African-American bluegrass band Carolina Chocolate Drops from Durham, NC, will be at the Cat's Cradle on Sat., Sept. 5, $15

The shock Korean-American comedian Margaret Cho, who once said that she would never vote for Sarah Palin but she would *&%# her, is performing her provocative stand-up routine on Thurs., Sept. 17 ($22-25). Alas, I have to teach a yoga class that night*.

And, on Halloween night the hip instrumental band Toubab Krewe from Asheville, NC, will perform at Cat's Cradle ($14-16). I last saw this band perform in the small town of Floyd, Va., on Dec. 1, 2007, when amazingly enough a Food Lion truck struck a powerline causing the whole town to black out which lead to an abrupt end to the show! Hopefully, that won't happen in Carboro.

And, with this entry I wish a speedy recovery to my good friend Peggy Duncan, a professional photographer in Bethesda, Maryland*. She came down with some fluke illness, but she is doing well. Apparently, eating lots of lobster (should you able to afford it) could cause a fluke illness of some sort too!

*- I should add that Peggy Duncan is a psedonymn just in case the real Peggy Duncan googles her name and finds this blog..........

Quote of the Week- Jim Morrison

We are going with two respective quotes from two figures associated with the late 1960s on our two respective blogs.

Mao Tse-Tung was the first of two quotes on our sister blog "The Daily Vampire."

We go with the late Jim Morrison of The Doors here:

"A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself."

Silly Photo to Fill Space- "Too Close for Comfort"

We have a photo of "Three's Company" on our sister blog "The Daily Vampire." I loved both of these shows when they first aired. Of course, I was only 11 years old at the time!

Quote of the Week- Marie Osmond

"If you're going to be able to look back and something and laugh about it, you might as well laugh about it now."

Silly Photo to Fill Space- Mr. Potato Head

This 'complements' a quote that we have posted from Hugh Hefner on our sister blog "The Daily Vampire:"

Incidentally, the Turkish word for turtle is kamplumdag. I have no idea what it is in Norwegian.
