CAYA; Damn the Torpedoes . . . Happy Holidays! (early/late start)

Dear Lost Souls,

The Boyz are back in town! . . . and in our absence our blushing neighborhood has birthed a new and refreshing venue: The Torpedo Room; a Sierra Nevada Brewery small batch tasting room . . . oooh, the extensive research we will do! To celebrate this promising addition to the local landscape, and to also dutifully and selflessly support our distinguished neighbors, this week we will begin CAYA with a 7pm to 8pm christening visit to the Torpedo Room (just around the corner at 2031 4th Street), and then march in merry procession (at 8pm when the Torpedo Room closes) . . . with a selection of gallon growlers in hand! . . . to the Haberdashery's sacred halls  . . . where in our absence, Haberdashery elves will have dutifully prepared our temple sanctuary with the traditional vestments and accoutrements. We invite you to meet us at your convenience at either location . . . as the holiday spirit moves you!

Yes, my Bellicose Brewmeisters! . . . Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening, and what better way to celebrate the end of Hanukkah and the beginning of the Advent Season than with the toast of a frosty small-batch local brew! . . . a non-secular joy on which we can all agree!! It's the Haberdashery's way of spreading peace on earth!

Sooooo, on this occasion, cocktails will served at 8:00pm. Please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your primary Friday evening holiday soiree . . . or to linger indefinitely!

Yours!
Los Cabañeros

Come As You Are - Christening of the New Wing!!

Dear Lost Souls,

Labor Day is now only a memory . . . or in some cases not so much. Summer races on and the equinox looms near. In celebration of a new season, and the Haberdashery's fourth year of operation, we will be christening an entire new wing to our existing facilities with trumpets and fan fare . . . and booze . . . and pistachios.

. . . Yes, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday night and you and yours are invited to swing by our little patch of evening shade for a refreshing beverage of your choosing. Experts will be on hand to . . . do whatever it is that experts do. The weekend begins at the top of the front stoop and continues all the way back to the new back porch/winter garden wing. The ribbon cutting for our new wing will happen at 21:07 hours. Those of you who were residents in Black Rock City over the long weekend should bring along any digital photos, slides, or photos so that our visual effects technician (a.k.a. AV Geek (Smeltzer)) can compile and exhibit the products of our collective amnesia. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. As always, please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your chosen Friday venue . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Greg
