😷 CAYA in Place; The Last Stand

Dear Lost Souls,

Greetings from the Haberdashery Multiverse! 🖖🏼 Come As You Are . . . and stay where ya'll at!
This evening, June 19th, 2020, will be The Haberdashery's last Come As You AreFriday Night Cocktail Hour (and broadcast) hosted from 2124 5th street, Berkeley, California. Some of you were there at the beginning of CAYA 2.0 on September 13, 2011, in this location. Some of you were there in the halcyon days of CAYA 1.0, in a time that now seems so, so long ago. We will miss these hallowed halls. But we also know that this is only the beginning, and we look forward to exploring the yet unimaginable adventures that await us in The Haberdasher 3.0 Multiverse! 🚀🚀🚀

Yes, my Humble Haberdites CAYA is on for this evening. Please join us at 7:30pm, as we kick off the evening with a special cocktail selection, and a solemn toast to Liberation Day (or Juneteenth). With the current pain, division, uncertainty, and injustice that threatens to shred the very fabric of our nation, we pray that this Juneteenth will be cause for celebration for centuries to come: As the day that we set a new course for the nation: A day that helped us realize that every one of us are bound as stewards to the founding ideals and precarious liberties that this nation's Constitution purports to guarantee. And, unless we are all free and protected from injustice, no-one is free or safe from tyranny. Not just as a nation, but as a species whose completely interdependent survival on this fragile planet is a never ending dance on the precarious road to human enlightenment.

Please join us by tuning into your Last Resort from your sequestration sanctuary on our dedicated Haberdashery Zoom channel (Meeting ID#: 510 646 5316) at 7:30pm PST. Feel free to casually join the conversation or melt back to your corner of the Multiverse whenever you like. We will maintain the wormhole opening all evening (round'about midnight), or until after the last Haberdite signs off.


We are all making this up as we go. 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
