CAYA's Covenant and The Promise of Spring

Dear Lost Souls,

Let not the extended darkness and Boreas' taunting chill smother your enduring Haberdite spirit! On each cycle of Apollo's chariot, the days now grow longer, and spring's promise of renewal nears fulfillment. And so we gather to celebrate our unfaltering covenant of fellowship, music, and good cheer . . . a sovereign state of hospitality governed by the steady hand and stealth wisdom of our tireless alchemists; forever dedicated to the deep satisfaction of your most fluid and profound desires.

Yes, my Seasonal Sentinels, Cocktail Hour is on for the Friday evening . . . locked, loaded, and committed to the exercise of your 21st Amendment rights. We will not rest until you sit, cocktail in hand, basking in the comforting glow of our electric wishing stars. Cocktails will be served at 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

CAYA; The 2013 Magic Carpet Ride

In moments of eternity
We stretch out our arms to let life swirl around us,
Tears of joy wash clean our senses to reveal the intensity of experience
And illuminate the dynamic beauty of the Present.

Dear Lost Souls,

Benvenuto a 2013! And so another year begins, with high hopes and timely resolutions for the months to come. But, perhaps the most infinite gift we can manifest this year is the conscious intention to realize the limitless wonder of the present moment in which we find ourselves. Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow is a crap shoot. So catch a ride on your magic Carpe Diem, and remember to embrace every instance of this ephemeral roller coaster ride we call life!

Yes, my Capricious Carpet Jockeys, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening . . . as the countdown to MardiGras begins!; only 39 days to go!!! It is never too early to start training! As it was in the beginning, is now and always shall be . . . our Mixology Maestros will be on hand to guide you in your whimsical wanderings through Mr. Boston’s Beverage Bible . . . whims may be provided upon request. Cocktails will be served at 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
