Dear Lost Souls,
Tear gas drifts through the hazy avenues of Oakland and Atlanta . . . Rome is burning . . . Occupy Wall Street has gone viral, and following in the footsteps of the Arab Spring, cities around the world find their streets echoing with growing cries for change and corporate reform. Is this a wake up call for the unholy marriage of political cronyism and corporate greed, a death knell to capitalism, or simply the disparate and desperate flailing of a movement that lacks the momentum to command the attention of the entrenched power structure that it seeks to depose? Gadfly or Phoenix!??? Time will tell.
Yes Toto! the Emerald City is under siege. But, just over the rainbow, Cocktail Hour perseveres for another Friday evening, with the warm glow of homegrown music and fellowship. Come trade in your Molotov for a Martini. Whether you prefer your revolution dirty or neat, Cosmopolitan, or in a Manhattan . . .your protest is our occupation . . . shaken . . . and stirring up chaos in pursuit of alchemical perfection . . . CAYA’s humble contribution to the soldiers of the proletariat.
Cocktails will be served at around 7:30pm. As always, please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your primary Friday evening venue . . . or to Occupy the Haberdashery!!!!! . . . indefinitely.*
Yours,
The Cabana Boys
