Come As You Are - NO COCKTAIL HOUR THIS WEEK

Dear Lost Souls,

In reverence to Halloween, and you humble host's need to go trick or treating, there will be no Cocktail Hour this Friday night. I cast you out upon the City to make your way among the ghouls and goblins. Good luck and see ya next week!

Greg

Come As You Are - 8pm Start - The Hallowed Eve

Dear Lost Souls,

In reverence to the people of the Island of Kampdigalio, in the British West Indies, where there is a 30 minute time difference from their closest neighbors only 500 yards off shore, and they are forced to endure the humiliation of constantly arriving half an hour late for the local cricket grudge match and thereby missing the critical opening coin toss, which is surely the most exciting point in most cricket matches . . . Cocktail Hour will be starting 30 minutes late this week, at 8pm. But, . . . .

. . . Yes, my bronze bodied islanders, Cocktail Hour IS on for this week! Once again, you are invited to shed the shackles of your mid-week labors for the cackles of our weekend favors. Your cocktail will waiting for you chilled and impatient under the shadows of the Haberdashery's drowsy ambition. As the self-satisfied home of your Last Resort, you should feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your chosen Friday venue . . . or to linger indefinitely. As a special treat this week, I am pleased to share with you an invitation to the big annual Halloween Bash at Project 9 in West Berkeley on Saturday, November 1st. Paul and Tom always throw a good shin dig with lots of fiendish fun, great company and usually some fire thrown in for good measure. Please check out the link and stop by if you are in the neighborhood. Paul has graciously invited us again this year and is encouraging all of you Haberdites to come check it out.

Cheers!

Yours,

Greg

Come As You Are - Octoberfest in California

Dear Lost Souls,

October in Berkeley!

Bay Area Autumn at its best,

Evening skies of truest blue,

Tall, crisp and cool with a hint of Vermouth,

An Ivory olive suspended in clearest Indigo,

And evening shade from the week you left behind,

. . . Cocktail?

Yes, my überthirsty Haberdites, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening! We've recovered from last week's audiovisual SpeKtaKular, and are ready for this week’s new interpretation of relaxation. In response to the Governator's edict that Octoberfest in California extend to all months containing the letter “r”, we will be toasting the commencement of this year’s festival with a keen eye on . . . May . . . which already seems dangerously close. Please join us for a moment of pause in the comforting glow of low expectations. The weekend starts at the top of the stairs. As always, please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your chosen Friday venue . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Greg

Oh Yes, my fellow dazed and confused Left Coasters, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday night. . . and what better way to cope with the implications of a new administration then in the comfort of . . . one helluva' stiff drink. Cocktails will be served beginning at 7:00pm. You are invited to swing by our little shade collective and sample the pride of Haberdashery-brand social alchemy. As a special event this week, we will be presenting a sound and light spectacular chronicling this year's Burning Man Festival. Please bring along any of your digital images of the event that we don't already have so that we can include them in the show. As always, please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your chose Friday venue . . . or to linger . . . ironically.

Yours,
Greg
