Come As You Are; Fair Warning - Mardi Gras is Coming!

Dear Lost Souls,

Fat Tuesday (or ‘Mardi Gras’) is February 21st. Consider yourself warned. This means that the tentative date for this year's Haberdashery Mardi Gras Party is Saturday, February 18th, with a possible alternative date of February 25th. Livers are delicate organs that sometimes require coaxing and coddling; particularly if you're a Yankee . . . but we are not here to judge. Be sure to mark your calendar and start your training early. You don’t want to wander into this event ill prepared; lest ye leave ill at ease. As always, the Saturday main event will start to ramp up during Cocktail Hour on Friday evening, with the ‘Festival of the Roux’. Choppers, slicers and dicers are always welcome. Everyone else is free to offer immoral support.

Yes, my Cajun Cohorts, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening. And, as we find ourselves solidly in the midst of the Mardi Gras Season in this “Year of the Cocktail”, we are continuing our aggressive expansion of our alchemical repertoire! Last week’s forays into the world of Ginger Beer were a big success. This week, our Cabana Boys will once again be on hand to fulfill your every fluid whim. Whims may also be provided upon request. Cocktails will be served starting around 7.30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your primary Friday evening venue . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros
