    Burn's night in Cincinnati

    The Cincinnati Caledonian Society's Burns Night is sometime this weekend (Web site says fri, date is for sat), but since I had been unable to attend, I had kind of forgotten about it.

    However, I have just learned that Nicholson's Pub downtown is having a Burns event tonight. Piping in of the haggis and the toast is between 6:30 and 7:00 (scottch tasting as well) there is a band at 8. No cover. Since it is late notice, I'm not sure if I can make it yet or not, but I thought some of you in town might want to know.

    Techincally it is the birthday of Robert Burns (jan 25) the most famous poet from Scotland. Most Scottish societies have some kind of Burns Night celebration, which includes a ceremonial serving of a Haggis. For a more complex answer go to one.
