CAYA in Place; Learning to Abide

Dear Lost Souls,

Come As You Are . . . and stay where ya'll at!

Tonight we launch a new era of shelter in place Cocktail Hours broadcast from the bosom of The Last Resort, aka 'CAYA in Place'. To inaugurate the festivities, we invite you to join us at 7:30pm PST on our dedicated Haberdashery Zoom channel (Meeting ID#: 510 646 5316) as we gather ritually for our usual weekly communion of cocktails, music, and mayhem. We will have all of you up on the big screen at the Haberdashery's hallowed hall, and invite our regular musicians to offer up some live tunes from their respective quarantine location. This is a great opportunity for Haberdites from all over the world to finally join us! Feel free to respond to this email, or coordinate separately with our resident Cabaña Boyz to schedule a performance time or coordinate logistics. Tonight we will test a 60-90 minute on-line gathering format. If you have any ideas on how we can organize future remote Cocktail Hours, please share those with us.

Life in quarantine can be monotonous and frustrating. Tonight is about learning to ABIDE. In homage to St. Dude . . . or ‘the Duddah’ in the parlance of our time . . . we will open the evening at 7:30pm Pacific Time (sharp!) with a step-by-step ceremonial sacrifice of Caucasians (White Russians) on the alter of virgin territory.

No one knows what the coming weeks will bring. But, with a long pour of compassion, a shot of empathy, and more-than-a-dash of patience . . . though we may emerge shaken or stirred . . . our community of Haberdites will navigate this gauntlet of isolation with poise and dignity . . . and an adult beverage in hand. 

Now be safe out there . . . and above all else . . . be kind to one another, my fellow Haberdites!

Yours,

Los Cabañeros
