Post-Apocalyptic Thanksgiving Extravaganza

Dear Lost Souls,

As our ongoing 'Great Experiment in Democracy' continues to careen off the proverbial rails, dark clouds of doom cast an ever deeper shadow over an expanding and thriving American Idiocracy. But, in this 'holidaze' season we are invited to cling blissfully to the pacifying illusion of our collective good fortune ... a fortune characterized by a relative state of material abundance and the glorious delusion of a national 'exceptionalism' . . . upon which we have tenuously constructed our American brand of cognitive dissidence. Oh to Joy! 🎄🎉🎅🎈🎊🎠

Abandoning the absurdity of this premise ... we alternatively invite you to join your fellow Haberdites this Friday evening as we deeply embrace a resolute spirit of escapism and denial which, though criminally unsustainable, should get us through the fucking weekend . . . if we're lucky. One day at a time Baby!

To help keep your feet moving, DJ Mr. Fabulous will be in the house, and we are looking forward to a cathartic Haberdashery jam session ... so musicians, bring your instruments and implements of destruction!

Yes my Apoplectic Ambassadors to the apocalypse, CAYA is on for this Friday evening. Cocktails will be served beginning at 7:30pm. You are invited to stop by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary destiny ... or to filibuster indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA; Pacific Expedition - Emergency Decompression Session

Dear Lost Souls,

Yesterday evening, a Haberdashery expeditionary force dispatched to the equatorial region of the Pacific Ocean safely returned to the Bay Area following 5 weeks of intense field work ... tirelessly exploring the culinary and lifestyle particularities of Tahiti and surrounding environs. Re-immersion into the "spectacle de merde" that is the current state of American politics and culture is indeed a shock to our CAYAnauts. In an immediate response, The Haberdashery Executive Board has called an emergency "Sommet Extraordinaire" to facilitate cultural exchange, decompression, and to help our intrepid expeditionary team to numb the temporal and thermal pain associated with reentry. Our alchemists are standing by . . . 

Yes my Tropical Troglodytes, CAYA is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served beginning at 7:30pm. You are invited to sail on by for a 'touch and go' en route to your primary port-of-call for the evening ... or to anchor in port, and linger indefinitely

Yours,

Los Cabañeros

DreamCAYA 2017

Dear Lost Souls,

If you survived the 170.000 other souls that flooded the city for the annual DreamForce, we invite you to what will definitely be THE best CAYA ever, our DreamCaya 2017. Come experience a world of entertainment that will transform your definition of Friday night.

Our West Berkeley couchpark will host legendary performances by some of the best DJs and musicians in town, while you may end up enjoying some gnocco fritto in one of the hundreds of breakout sessions with world-renowned leaders and Friday night experts. Come to get inspired, and you may even end up finally updating your kitchen countertop.

Yes, my cloud-based Haberdites, Food and Cocktails will start to be deployed after 8.00pm. As every Friday night release to production, expect bugs to appear profusely, so feel free to stop by for a quick pull request or linger indefinitely at the master night of West Berkeley.

Yours,

Los Cabañeros

CAYA; No Cocktail Hour This Week

Dear Lost Souls,

There will be no Cocktail Hour this week! You have every right to be apoplectic! We made CAYA great again, but we don't wanna get too close to the sun.

We'll toast to our success, and invite you to do the same, until next week, when we'll probably be back... who knows...

"Chi vuol esser lieto, sia:
di doman non c'è certezza."

Yours,
Los Cabañeros
