CAYA; A Midsummer's Night Martini

Lovers and madmen have such seething brains
Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend
More than cool reason ever comprehends.

                                             ― Billy Shakespeare

Dear Lost Souls,

Let thy cool reason be the stones that chill the dusty olive of your dry Martini . . . and so to toast with abandon thy fellow Lovers and Madmen sweet beneath the velvet shade of the the Haberdashery's eclectic wishing stars . . . where fantasies abound and Comprehension stares longingly from behind the Medusa Buddha, nostalgic for the bliss she once knew before cold reason gently touched her lips and erased the unbounded joy of childhood innocence.

Yes my Bashful Bards! Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening . . . with the special promise of a visit from a world class violinist, joining the Haberdashery house band . . . to help doodle and fiddle the night away! So bring your kettle, axe, and ivory keys to play your part in yet another stirring tale of frosted goblets carrying Cosmopolitan goddesses and Manhattan scoundrels . . . singing glad songs and offering a welcoming embrace, from a familiar face at your favorite Last Resort!

Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your primary Theatre of the Absurd . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours!
Los Cabañeros

CAYA; Experimental Democracy; Year 237 - Independence Day Fish FrAYA

Dear Lost Souls,

In a spirit of independence and with pride in our nation's ongoing experiment in democracy, we welcome the chance to celebrate her on-going birth . . .  sharing her bounty, breaking bread, and hoisting some all-American cocktails in honor of our fragile but enduring union . . . flawed though she may be in her conflict-scarred beauty. Just as the hard fought battles that eventually delivered our nation's freedom raged on for another 7 years after our founding fathers so brazenly declared our embryonic independence (on July 2nd, 1776), we continue our dynamic struggle to strike an equitable balance between the sacred powers that we dare entrust with our elected officials (e.g. protection of the 4th Amendment), and the defense of those hard-won liberties against the wanton corruption that these same powers seem to inevitably breed when left unchecked . . . their defense the very spark that once ignited the birth of this great nation.

Yes my Yankee Doodle Dandies, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening. As a special celebration of our nation's birthday, we will be frying up a fresh and bountiful ocean harvest; courtesy of some of the Haberdashery's own heroes of the high seas. Please bring your appetite and something to share.

Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your primary Continental Congress . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours!
