Lucha libre isn’t entirely foreign to American culture. We’ve seen the Mexican free wrestling in cartoons like “¡Mucha Lucha!,” movies like “Nacho Libre,” and it seems like you can’t go to any costume shop without finding a handful of the sport’s trademark colorful masks.

The term “functional fixedness” isn’t tossed around in regular conversation, despite its permeation of daily life. It’s a psychological concept used to describe peoples’ inability to see an object’s utility beyond its standard use — hangers only exist to hold clothes, and forks will never graduate beyond holding food.

Carrboro’s Cat’s Cradle is unassuming yet full of local music history. Touring bands seek it out, while local bands dream of the night they headline a Cradle show. Renovations on the venue began in early July and were completed in stages so that club owner Frank Heath would not have to shut down the venue. Veteran attendees of the venue will now find the entrance on the side and many of the indoor risers removed. The stage and green room were also upgraded. Tonight, Chapel Hill’s The Old Ceremony and The Tomahawks help break in the new changes with a free show. Old Ceremony frontman Django Haskins took time to talk to Assistant Diversions Editor Allison Hussey about what the venue means to him.
