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.
