CAYA - May Be June Be Betta'
Dear Lost Souls,
Whether you are following the European Parliament elections . . . or just navigating another week on the 45 Short Bus ... coping with the 'new normal' is a bit exhausting! The divisiveness in the world right now can be all consuming ... yet it also needs and deserves the careful attention of thoughtful and caring people everywhere. But, as a good Haberdite, you also deserve to take a break from the insanity, the hate, and the willfull ignorance that drives the body politic . . .
Look! Ahead, on the temporal horizon ... you are invited to Come As You Are. Please join your fellow Haberdites this evening as we take pause and gather perspective beneath the low expectations of dappled eclectic starlight, shaken or stirred . . . and there dare to make a wish for gentler times with the distraction of frivolity as our muse.
Yes, ye Riders of the Storm, Cocktail Hour is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to wonderby en route to your primary temporal destiny, or to linger indefinitely.
Yours,
Los Cabañeros
!!Please drink responsibly and arrange for safe transportation!! ... your well-being is our first priority!
P.S. This week's Haberdashery Flashback takes us back to May 9th, 2002; CAYA - But Once A Week

No Cocktail Hour
Dear Lost Souls,
There will be no Cocktail Hour this Friday evening. We invite you, wherever you may be, to join us as we hoist a glass in remembrance of our fallen service women and men, who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our liberty and to defend this fragile democracy. May we honor them, each in our own way, as we dedicate ourselves:
"to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity"
Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA - Keep Your Powder Dry
Dear Lost Souls,
Put your trust in God;
but mind to keep your powder dry
- Oliver Cromwell
While these late season tempests threaten to play havoc with your weekend plans, The Haberdashery remains a warm and dry sanctuary to rest your weary soul at the end of another tiresome week of labor in the coal mines. Please join as as we toast the promise of the season, and do our bit to bring some light, warmth, and music into this tumultuous world.
Many thanks to those of you who donated to support the Sierra Nevada Relief Fund for the Camp Fire. Through your generosity, we raised $60 with a 5 gal keg of home-brew. The Haberdashery Brewing Company will donate all proceeds directly to the fund. Please continue to help support the relief efforts by donating directly to the fund.
Yes, ye Riders of the Storms, Cocktail Hour is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stumble by between storms en route to your primary shelter, or to linger indefinitely.
Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA - Across the Pond & Back
Dear Lost Souls,
After a short Spring research hiatus across the Pond, The Haberdashery is pleased to reconvene in a glorious celebration of the season. Ever vigilant, we capitalized on a critical mass of Haberdites visiting the Eternal City to celebrate a special Haberdashery birthday under the watchful eye of some of Rome's greatest masterpieces.

Please stop by this evening, as we reconnect and recommit to our weekly communion . . . while hoisting a glass in celebration of a well-appreciated homecoming ... for one and all, near and far!
Yes, ye Citizens of Terra Nobilis, CAYA is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to jet by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary destiny, or to linger indefinitely!
Yours,
Los Cabañeros
