Dear Lost Souls,

This week we are most pleased to host an exclusive documentary screening of The Professor; starring our own Prof. Chip Sullivan from the UC Berkeley Department of Landscape Architecture . . . with The Professor himself on hand to answer questions and offer chromatic commentary. Doors open at 7:30pm and the movie starts at 8pm, so show up early to get a good seat. Be sure to wear your very best mustache . . . something Dalí-esque should work prrrfect . . . with the best mustache getting a special prize! . . . don't worry, Chip is disqualified from participating.

CAYA; Geminis in the House

Dear Lost Souls,
Behold the dawning of the Age of Aquarius . . . and now the Geminis are in the house! Yes, once again it is that glorious time of year when Geminis can overcome their bashful nature and single mindedness, to freely and fully express their humble perfection . . . both of them. In honor of the season, all cocktails this week will be doubles . . . for a change.

Yes my Audacious Astrologers, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening! The celestial orbs have aligned . . . and so we endeavor to fulfill our sacred covenant, gathering once again under the comforting shade of low expectation and electric wishing stars, sipping singular signature concoctions prepared to the exacting specification of your ephemeral whims by our brightly robed Haberdashery Alchemists. It's just another day at the beach on the red velvet dappled shores of your WeBe Last Resort.

As always, cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your primary cosmic alignment

CAYAPalooza 2013 - Calling All Musicians!

CALLING ALL MUSICIANS! - Saturday May 11th, 2013:
Arts@TheHaberdashery is pleased to invite you to join us for; CAYAPalooza 2013.

On Saturday May 11th, The Haberdashery will host an all day open music jam . . . plus some lagnappe! We will have at least two play spaces available for you to jam away the lazy day. This is an invitation only event. Your family and close friends are very welcome to come and share the vibe, but please help us keep the numbers relatively low so that the focus will remain on creating a collaborative music making ‘workshop’ atmosphere, giving you the space to mix it up and explore different genres, as well as to play with new people.

Some details:
  • Time: 10:30am – 8:00pm . . . or whenever . . . until the music dies down. Show up early to take advantage of the sun in the back garden!
  • Food and beverages: We will have brunch food (and cocktails), random munchies, and some signature grill items and picnic side dishes to share, but the day will be mostly “self-serve”. Please bring along something to share and/or contribute to the barbecue. As always, we’ll have some event-appropriate adult beverages, but your favorite drink contributions are appreciated;
  • Who: You’ll recognize some faces from the fantastic jams at this year’s Mardi Gras party; including members of The Horribles, and the Karma Dogs; as well as Bernie and the Haberdites.
  • Equipment: Please bring what you need in terms of amps, cords, etc., plus perhaps extra to share in case others are lacking. Song/Fake books are encouraged, to help others jump in on your favorite material;
We hope you can join us!! Please contact us with any questions or clarifications. You are welcome to share this invitation, but please do so thoughtfully and in the spirit of creating a quality jam experience built around passionate collaborative musicians!

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, May 11th!

Sláinte!
Greg and Andy
