CAYA; Greece and Italy Trigger 11th Hour Haberdashery Bailout

Dear Lost Souls,

Late night Monday, key Haberdashery policy makers convened in a surprise Advisory Board session, welcoming back CAYA's European envoy over crepes and cocktails. Facing poor liquidity and growing unrest by thirsty Haberdites, the board was forced to accept a bailout offer by previous management ... which has promised to resume regular Haberdashery activities immediately. Left under Greek and Italian management for the last two months, the Haberdashery has been crippled by ongoing closures and gaps in its service delivery pipeline. A CAYA spokesperson dismissed any links to the recent departure of the resident Greek delegate, claiming the move was previously scheduled and unrelated to the bailout. The Greek delegate, who could not be reached for a response, did comment via email saying, "Sorry about the ivy, dude. I did water the bloody thing!!!"

Faced with the enormity of the crisis, frantic preparations for this Friday's Emergency Referendum began immediately. While officials refuse to comment on the specific content and procedural execution of the Emergency Referendum, a resident alchemist was overheard saying that it promises to be shaking, stirring, and chilling in its complexity and scope ... with an apropos wage 'garnish' to top it off.

We're back! ... Soooooo yes, my Mediterranean Misfits, CAYA in on for this Friday evening. Cocktails will be served at 7.30pm PST. As always, please feel free to drop by for a quickie en route to your primary evening bailout . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañero

CAYA; Apollo's Soltice Joyride!

Dear Lost Souls,

The Solstice is upon us, that magical moment when Apollo’s golden chariot makes its longest and most triumphant arc across the sacred dome of heaven, before plotting his inevitable retreat to the dark promises of another hemisphere. On this glorious day, each of us are an axis mundi completing a celestial circuit between earth and star, terra firma bound to the galactic fortunes of tireless gravity and a tempestuous sun; giver of life and destroyer of worlds. And for all of this, the gods ask only for the offering of a toast to acknowledge our appreciation for the bounty that comes forth from nature's timeless heartbeat.

Yes, my Solar Powered Solstice Soldiers, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening. Come hoist a glass for the official beginning of Summer’s reign. On this occasion, in reverence to the Haberdashery’s position in the international CAYA Consortium (CAYAC), we will have the pleasure of hosting dignitaries visiting from Greece, Alaska, Chicago, and New York.

As always, cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stop for a quickie en route to your primary Friday evening venue, or to linger indefinitely . . .

Yours,
Los Cabañero
