CAYA; Persian Splendor

. . . When we last left our heroes, they were reclined in Persian splendor beneath leafy artificial star light; satiated by the offerings of the ghetto's finest cuisine and feasting on the pirated sounds of our favorite contemporary poets. Bur fear not my bonny shipmates on this voyage through the cosmos, the story does not there end . . .

For yes, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday night, and you too are invited to join us for a moment of pause and repose as we toast the passing of another week and ring in the promise of the weekend with our own special brand of alchemy and fellowship. The doors at 2107 Hearst will be open at 7:30pm. Your presence is our pleasure. As always, please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your chosen Friday venue, or . . . to linger indefinitely.

Come As You Are - A Midsummer's Night Drink

Dear Lost Souls,

Summer is rushing by and our fickle sun has begun its slow decent in the evening sky. Let not the opportunity pass to revel in one of our long Berkeley summer evenings; toasting the passing of our weekly toils with the ethers of cherished vices.

No Cocktail Hour this Week

Dear Lost Souls,

There will be no Cocktail Hour this week as I will be out enjoying our great California wilderness. As always, I invite one of you to host in my place. Otherwise, Cocktail Hour will resume next week. Have a great Fourth of July!
