Come As You Are - Kiwis in the House

Dear Lost Souls,

This Friday we will be hosting some friends from New Zealand (Bill Yates and his family) who are passing through on a US Tour. Please stop by to show them a bit of our Bay Area hospitality.

Yes, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday. You are invited to hoist a glass in mourning for the passing spring and in celebration of Summer's arrival. To put our best foot forward for our friends from down under, we will be firing up the Weber, so feel free to bring something to throw on the grill. Cocktails will be served beginning at 7:30pm. As always, please feel free to stop by for a quickie on route to your chosen Friday venue, or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Greg

PS. In other news, Chris Strain just got back from his first European Adventure; in Paris. He had a great time; duh. His French still sucks; duh.

No Cocktail Hour this Week

Dear Lost Souls,

Thanks for making last week such a great event!! It was really one of the best Friday Nights we have EVER had . . . I thought. THERE WILL BE NO COCKTAIL HOUR THIS FRIDAY EVENING.
I will be out of town at a conference. But, please be assured that I will hoist a glass in your honor when Friday Evening rolls around.
I ask that you do the same.
Yours,
Greg

Come or be Scorned!

Horraaay!!!

You brought tears to my eyes!! Seriously!

This is your 2003 pinup model calling with a pre-emptive emission in an effort to destroy any too-late-notice excuse you may have been using to miss the weekly gathering at my esteemed associate Mr. Greg Delaune's place. The Grand Poobah of the Haberdashery will become another year older at midnight this Friday while a full moon blazes overhead (overbearing fog notwithstanding). I think it is appropriate that we overrun his fabulous pad, drink every last drop of alcohol he owns (a big challenge indeed) and eat every last bacon bit in the fridge to prove that growing older is in fact a pleasure when you have friends like us.

Yassss, by Bored Member Perogative according to Haberdashery Bylaws Section 42, I do, without previous consultation, declare that Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday, at the usual time and location: 2107 Hearst Avenue, 7:30pm. The sleek black Weber will be resplendant with hot coals to char your favorite animal, vegetable or mineral and the libations will be flowing from bottle to glass to stomach to brain (maybe omitting the glass step). Bring along any friends, lovers, enemies, or random souls you meet along the way and whatever food or drink you are inspired to consume and/or share.

Come as you are, or be scorned, or at least sorely missed. And, as always, ”Feel free to stop by for a Wookie or dangle irreverantly.” (I might have that a little wrong, so hard to remember).

Yours insanely,

Ishmael of Chaness,
Sorry Greg.
Had to be done.
