CAYA; Bring the Kids to Meet the von Trapps!

Dear Lost Souls,

How do you solve a problem like the work week? Try a delightful evening with the von Trapp Family! ... traveling incognito as the "Webers" ... climbing every mountain and exclusively visiting the Haberdashery from Germany as part of a California tour. Our crack team of alchemists and cabana boys will be doing their darndest to offer the von Trapps a few of our favorite things ... including some American BBQ and a little do-re-mi with the Haberdashery house band ... before they have to say, "so long, farewell". 

Oh yes, my Mischievous Minstrels, CAYA in on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7.30pm . . . or join us at 6.30pm for a BBQ for the von Trapps. The von Trapps have a wide age range of children, so feel free to add a few to the mix! As always, please do not hesitate to stop for a quickie en route to your evening's primary soiree  . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA - The End of An Era; Please Sign

"I'm not going to censor myself to comfort your ignorance." - Jon Stewart 

Dear Lost Souls,

August 6th is Jon Stewart's last Daily Show! ... now let that sink in.

The Haberdashery has adopted an important pet project in our national interest, to have Jon stay (or bring him back) to host the Daily Show during the 2016 Presidential Campaign. Impossible? It is if we do nothing ... it's not if we get enough national support! CLICK AND SIGN THE PETITION NOW . . . and then GET THE WORD OUT; share it with your friends and family! Imagine how cool it would be if we pulled this off ... but more importantly, imagine how the campaign will suffer without Jon Stewart protecting truth and transparency on the crowded avenues of political discourse. Act now!

We now return to regularly shhhheduled shhhilliness . . .
 


Oh yes, my Insatiable Satirists, CAYA in on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7.30pm. As always, please feel free to stop for a quickie en route to your evening's primary double entendre  . . . or to linger indubitably.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA; A Midsummer Night's Overture

Dear Lost Souls,

'It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that sting' ... I mean swing ... or shake ... or stir ...
In any event, CAYA hit the ground running last week with an impressive turnout of loyal Haberdashery stalwarts and fresh new faces ... and a good time was had by all! This week we will extend our streak to two ... with another midsummer night's dream of quality fellowship, live music, lofty rhetoric, and handcrafted cocktails conceived and executed by our steadfast band of steely alchemists. (note: no alchemists were executed in the production of this evening's event)

Yes, my Theoretical Thespians, CAYA in on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7.30pm. As always, please feel free to stop by and enjoy a brief mellifluous overture en route to your evening's Main Event . . . or to linger indefinitely until the grand finale.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA; Greece and Italy Trigger 11th Hour Haberdashery Bailout

Dear Lost Souls,

Late night Monday, key Haberdashery policy makers convened in a surprise Advisory Board session, welcoming back CAYA's European envoy over crepes and cocktails. Facing poor liquidity and growing unrest by thirsty Haberdites, the board was forced to accept a bailout offer by previous management ... which has promised to resume regular Haberdashery activities immediately. Left under Greek and Italian management for the last two months, the Haberdashery has been crippled by ongoing closures and gaps in its service delivery pipeline. A CAYA spokesperson dismissed any links to the recent departure of the resident Greek delegate, claiming the move was previously scheduled and unrelated to the bailout. The Greek delegate, who could not be reached for a response, did comment via email saying, "Sorry about the ivy, dude. I did water the bloody thing!!!"

Faced with the enormity of the crisis, frantic preparations for this Friday's Emergency Referendum began immediately. While officials refuse to comment on the specific content and procedural execution of the Emergency Referendum, a resident alchemist was overheard saying that it promises to be shaking, stirring, and chilling in its complexity and scope ... with an apropos wage 'garnish' to top it off.

We're back! ... Soooooo yes, my Mediterranean Misfits, CAYA in on for this Friday evening. Cocktails will be served at 7.30pm PST. As always, please feel free to drop by for a quickie en route to your primary evening bailout . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañero
