Dear Lost Souls,
WELL! . . . you've survived the Mayan Apocalypse, the War On Christmas,
and another holiday dinner with your flatulent Uncle Ernie . . . only
to face the dawn of 2013 crammed in the back seat of an economy
careening off a fiscal cliff . . . under the steady guidance of The Boner and Pelosi Show.
But, don't worry Sweet Virginia, there is still a Cocktail Hour to
believe in . . . your a-political, multicultural, post-apocalyptic,
fiscally responsible, trans-dimensional oasis in the sanity starved
desert of our disaster-strewn temporal reality.
Yes,
my Bewildered Bedouins! . . . Cocktail Hour is on
for this
Friday evening! 2012 was indeed a year to remember . . . AND TO
FORGET!! And so . . . for one last gig in 2012 . . . we invite you to The Last Resort;
to come find shelter under the Haberdashery's canopy of low
expectations . . . dappled with shadowy dreams, chromatic melodies, and
beckoning constellations of electric wishing stars. As always, our band
of alchemical wizards will be on hand to guide you in the thoughtful
pursuit of more ephemeral resolutions . . . to quench the karmic thirsts
that are sure to arise in yet another circumnavigation of our
smoldering Sol.
Cocktails will
be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a
quickie en route to your primary Friday night terminus temporalis . . .
or to linger indefinitely.
Yours,
Los Cabañero
!! Please drink responsibly and arrange for safe transportation !! . . . your well-being is our first priority!

Dear Lost Souls,
This could very well be our final correspondence . . . scratched out in desperate emotion on the eve of the End of Days
. . . as we stare woefully down the barrel of our cosmic annihilation.
Solemnly, the Haberdashery is honored to have been selected as a
post-apocalyptic rallying point for our collective journey to the bosom
of Hades. . . no doubt because of our generous cache of "critical
supplies". So grab your loved ones, scamper on over, and join us on
board the last party barge across the River Styx . . . with a perfectly
chilled cocktail of your choice in hand!
Yes,
my Denizens of Doom! . . . Cocktail Hour is on
for this
Friday evening . . . apocalypse or not! . . . A metaphor against a
meteor! . . we shall make Meyer Lemon Calypsos out of Mayan lemons . . .
Indeed! a "Plan B" worthy of our Merry Band of Haberdites!! . . . one
way or another, Saturday is still TBD.
Cosmic annihilation notwithstanding, cocktails will
be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your karmic destiny . . . or to linger indefinitely, indubitably . . . AD INFINITUM!
Yours,
Los Cabañero

Dear Lost Souls,
The nature of speech is deception;
for the lens of the spoken word
can never illuminate the true nature
of limitless ideas conceived out of pure thought
But when the veil is lifted
and we are liberated from this mortal coil
we shall know the light of truth
flowing uninterrupted between our eternal souls.
. . . so, you better get your cosmic Shite together before all your friends and family see you in your karmic skivvies!
Yes!,
the Mayan Apocalypse is just one week away, on . . . wait for it . . .
Friday! . . . coincidence? 4 out of 5 Haberdites don't think so!
But, worry not! The Haberdashery has an exit strategy . . . albeit a shaky one . . . chilled, stirred, and garnished.
Yes, my Corporeal Cosmonauts! . . . Cocktail Hour is on
for this
Friday evening . . . just so we can share one last moment in the comforting glow of low expectations before we step through to the other side . . . Martini in hand.
As it was in the beginning, cocktails will
be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to the eternal destiny of your soul . . . or to linger indefinitely, ephemerally, and transubstantiationaly.
Yours,
Los Cabañero

COME
ON!
The
truth shines bright as driven snow
He
spreads good cheer wher'ever he goes
All
decked in red and trimmed in white
He's
dressed for Love on Christmas night
With
Rudolph's nose to guide his sleigh
A
bright Red Light to lead the way
He
won't take cash to pay the bill
With
milk and cookies he gets his fill
No
need to tell the girls and boys
About
the Tart who brings their toys
But
don't pretend YOU didn't know
That
Old Saint Nick is just a Ho!

Yes, my Rambunctious Reindeer! . . . Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday
evening . . . but what sparkling experiential iceberg rises on that temporal
horizon!??? . . . it's Alaska Martinis!! . . . back in season, and just in time
to provide perfect punctuation to the end of another week in the Old St.
Nick Sweatshop. Ho, what better way to toast in the holidaze delirium than
with a frosty multicolored alchemical masterpiece prepared by our crack team of
effervescent elves. Be sure to tip your hard working elf appropriately . . .
although inappropriately is also much appreciated.
Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. As always, please feel free to swing your
sleigh by for a quickie en route to your primary Friday evening seasonal soiree
. . . or to linger indefinitely . . . indubitably . . . and festively in the
hazy lazy glow of another Haberdashery Holiday Party.
