CAYA: Novemberrrrrrrr Burns ❄ 🔥

Dear Lost Souls,

The Haberdashery sends out a shout of deep respect for all of the dedicated women and men on the front lines fighting the scourge of wild fires sweeping across California . . . heroes one and all. We also wish all of the families affected strength in this time of crisis. With the weather shift, the cold offers little refuge for the dislocated and homeless. For those of you in a position to lend a hand, the SF Chronicle offers this guide on how to help.

Yes, my Humble Haberdites , Cocktail Hour is on this Friday evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary soiree. . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,

Come As You Are; A Place to Zoom Out ...

Dear Lost Souls,

Zooming out tens of thousands of feet can usually offer enough cognitive dissonance for some peaceful perspective. But the gods are dubious in their tossing of lots and liberal in the magnitude of the chaos that they sow. NorCal's smoking veil of tears shares the news cycle with yet another senseless mass shooting in SoCal, a national state of affairs fueled by fabricated division and unhinged aggression, and mounting international unrest exasperated by a planetary ecological house of cards.

But behold ... there is relief on the near horizon. We invite you to zoom in on West Berkeley ... WeBe in the Five and Dime... where The Haberdashery endeavors to offer a bit of weekly refuge for your tattered soul;  a hand-crafted cocktail, a tasty home brew, live music, cozy atmosphere, and some easy fellowship shared beneath our eclectic wishing stars.

Yes, my Intrepid Interlocutors, Cocktail Hour is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to wander on by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary destiny, or to linger indefinitely.
Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA; Smoke We Don't Like

Dear Lost Souls,

In these surreal times where fires that seems uncontrollable are affecting so many people very close to us, we feel sad and powerless in front of such a disaster. And while the air is still filled with smoke and makes it hard to find reasons to celebrate, nonetheless we should try and seek solace in a safe and comforting space.

Yes, my familiar Haberdites, Cocktail Hour is on for tonight. Please join us and allow our usual band of merry makers to bring you all sort of adult mixtures that may make your night a little happier, and your heart a little lighter. Cocktails will be served beginning at 7:30pm. As always, please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary soiree … or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,

Los Cabañeros

CAYA; Your Invitation to The Splendid City

Only with a burning patience can we conquer the splendid City which will give light, justice and dignity to all mankind. ~ Rimbaud

Dear Lost Souls,

2015 has been off to a violent and contentious start on the global and domestic cultural/political scene. There is much to fret about, and great fonts of sadness and injustice seem to be welling up ever more frequently from powerful dark forces in all quarters. As individuals we may feel powerless to affect change, but in the end the human organism is the sum of us all, and our collective consciousness is guided by the decisions each of us makes every moment of every hour of every day that we inhabit this fragile blue spaceship hurtling through an infinite vacuum of darkness. Let us resolve to each do our part to first do no harm, and then seek tirelessly to take each step in our journey with passion and good intention, patiently contributing to the betterment of our tribe, our nation, and our species. Now please join us as we ignite those passions this fine evening, gathering to share a handcrafted cocktail in the tinderbox of warm fellowship that we call the Haberdashery!

Yes, my Fiery Fanatics, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening. Cocktails will be served at 7.30pm. Come help spread the fire of love . . . and also hoist a birthday toast to one of the Haberdashery's own loyal sons! As always, please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your primary Friday evening aventure . . . or to linger indefinitely!

Yours,
Los Cabañeros
