CAYA - Take a Stand! ... WeBexit Is Alive and Well!

Dear Lost Souls,

Despite the rather dismal state of our cousins' efforts 'across the pond', the WeBexit movement remains alive and well in the hearts of Haberdites everywhere! Have no doubt! The Ocean View section of West Berkeley will not forget the City of Berkeley's forced annexation of or our neighborhood in 1878, and we will not remain quiet as our sovereign civic rights are ignored! While it is true that the San Pablo Avenue Backstop remains unresolved as a proposed hard border, the passion and determination that was ignited nearly three years ago, in June of 2016, at the beginning of the WeBexit movement, remains vibrant and emboldened.

Yes, my Punchy Proletariates, CAYA is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to march by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary WeBexit demonstrations, or to linger till liberty comes!

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA - Dance Ye Heavenly Bodies, Dance!

Dear Lost Souls,

This week in West Berkeley, at The Haberdashery Celestial Observatory, we celebrate the exquisite interconnected dance of heavenly bodies as they spin and torque across the timeless arch of the universe. For one glorious evening of temporal clarity, nestled comfortably beneath the eclectic glow of low expectations, we will liberate Haberdites near and far from the primitive Newtonian constructs of past, present, and future . . . naive musings, and charming products of our limited humanoid imagination that help us cope with our ephemeral passage aboard this fragile blue spaceship, as it hurtles through the vastness of dark empty space. It is enough to make a Homo sapien thirsty for a handcrafted cocktail!

Yes, my Presumptuous Primates, CAYA is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to wander by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary evolutionary destination, or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA - 150 Years of Better Chemistry!

Dear Lost Souls,

As all good Haberdites know, this year we are celebrating the International Year of the Periodic Table, marking the 150th anniversary of Dmitri Mendeleev's groundbreaking work visualizing the chemical universe. This week, in particular, we want to give special recognition to the magical combination of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen as they bond to form ethanol, so facilitating our signature hand-crafted cocktails and home brews. Better living through good chemistry is a worthy endeavor, and tonight is your chance to toast the many geniuses and dilettantes who have paved the way for The Haberdashery to celebrate of our weekly communion. We are not drinking ... we are learning!

Yes, my Charismatic Chemists, CAYA is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. please feel free to stop by for a quick bit of enthalpy en route to your primary alchemical rendezvous, or to linger indefinitely as a catalyst for covalent bonding.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros
