Carrboro NC.

Well howdy folks. Last night we opened another show for Paul Thorn at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. A fine establishment with even finer staff. We were made welcome with handshakes, smiles, and a few six packs of beer. Beautiful. The crowd was exceptionally welcoming and we made a good deal of top-notch friends (two fellas by the name of Jody and Chris just to name a few). I'm getting way ahead of myself though. The main reason for coming to Carrboro was to get close to Chapel Hill so we could swing by one of the greatest restaurants in the entire world...Time-Out. Roughly 8 years ago I had the great pleasure of eating at this gourmet producer of foods and I've had a burning desire to return ever since. Their claim to fame is that they serve Thanksgiving food 24/7/365. Needless to say, Lera went without. Overall review, not quite everything I remembered, but definitely some tasty eats. Highest quality grease for sure.  Post show, we loaded into the van and left in search of shelter. We found a La Quinta sandwiched between a Red Lobster and a Bowling Alley. Done.  Upon entering said Quinta, we encountered a cop, a manager, and like five 8-year-olds. Their parents had locked them out of the room for some "private time" and they were up to all sorts of tomfoolery at 2 in the A.M. After a few threats of child protection and the long arm of the law, the hoodlums were wrangled and returned to their hotel cell. Afterwards, we were honored by Manager Margaret and inducted into the La Quinta rewards program, established by the late Mr. Quinta back in 1936.  A Spaniard fella! This is a high honor and only given to the most thrifty of folks. It is now today and we're headed back to the Cat's Cradle because I forgot a pair of pants there. Then off to Winston Salem for one more show and home tomorrow! Go America!

Time-Out.  Michael Jordan has eaten here.  So have the Ben's.
