Dear Lost Souls,
The celestial spheres synchronize in a convergence of geometry and numerology,
As the hands of time align in their gyrating dances of whimsy,
Tapping a playful staccato in homage to the contrivances of Man,
And so, a moment's pause to appreciate the ballet and mark the passing of the ages.
Oh yes, my Bonnie Spheremates, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday Evening . . . in solemn observance of Nigel Tufnel Day, when a maximum of 10 simply will not suffice. So, in his honor, we will be turning it up to 11 . . . 11/11/11 that is . . . and at 11 seconds after 11:11pm on 11.11.11 (that is: 11:11.11,11.11.11), in a magnificent moment of numerical ecstasy, the heavens will part above the Haberdashery’s Communal Hall, and we will lift a toast together with our patron saints, Serendipity and Contrivance, paying homage to Nigel, with a dram of his favorite drink (Glenlivet), for teaching us to think beyond the crippling limitations of the decimal system. Himself a Lost Soul of the truest calling, Nigel is on record as stating that if he had not pursued a musical career, he likely would have joined the field of haberdashery. A coincidence??? . . . I think not! Nigel has yet to confirm his attendance.
Watch the countdown! : http://www.nigeltufnelday.com/Nigel_Tufnel_Day/Nigel_Tufnel_Day.html
Cocktails will be served at 7.30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to all of the other Nigel Tufnel celebrations you will be attending . . . to remain with us for the celestial breach . . . or to linger indefinitely.
Yours,
The Cabana Boys*
