Dear Lost Souls,
It's Cajun Christmas time! . . . Only three days until the 2012 Haberdashery Mardi Gras Party, on Saturday, February 25th. Technically, Fat Tuesday was yesterday . . . but we can say the west coast is a couple of days behind!
Gumbo is not just a dish
. . . it is a menage of flavors, people and ideas. Come experience the
Haberdashery's brand of social alchemy and Luuuusiana hospitality first
hand. Musicians, be sure to bring along your instruments! The weather
forecast looks promising and we are planning a live music jam in the
back courtyard.
As always, Cocktail Hour is still on for
this Friday evening . . . as we start the prep and ramp up for the main event on Saturday.
Schedule:
Friday evening, Feb. 24th: There will be Cocktail Hour as usual. For those of you
interested in the Festival of the Roux,
and other cooking secrets from the Big Easy, this is the time to come. Chop,
chop chop.
Saturday, Feb. 25th: This is an all day affair . . . give or take a day . . . so feel free to come and go as you please.
Beginning whenever we crawl out of bed, there will be Mimosas, Screwdrivers and
Bloodies for those that arrive before noon . . . or whenever. The food will
start to be served in the mid-afternoon. There will be the usual fair
of gumbo, jambalaya, red beans, etc. . . . whenever they are ready . . . and
lagniappe. Yea, yea . . . and there will be LOTS of bread pudding for the
ladies.
Dress Code: Well, there is no dress code, and you can wear whatever the
hell you want, but this is Mardi Gras . . . so festive attire is appropriate!
In general, this could mean carnival masks, and/or your favorite colorful wig .
. . pull out that old sequined party dress (e.g. flapper style), a
boa, feather tiara . . . a dapper hat or sport coat . . . or just show up in
jeans and a t-shirt!!!! . . . the point is to relax and have a good time. We
will have some beads and other parade trinkets on hand to distribute.
WARNING: Friday night can be detrimental to Saturday . . . and
should be avoided or taken in moderation if your intent is a full-on Saturday.
As always, please feel free to stop
by for a quickie . . . on Friday or Saturday; or to linger indefinitely.
Yours,
Los Cabañeros
