CAYA - Dance Ye Heavenly Bodies, Dance!

Dear Lost Souls,

This week in West Berkeley, at The Haberdashery Celestial Observatory, we celebrate the exquisite interconnected dance of heavenly bodies as they spin and torque across the timeless arch of the universe. For one glorious evening of temporal clarity, nestled comfortably beneath the eclectic glow of low expectations, we will liberate Haberdites near and far from the primitive Newtonian constructs of past, present, and future . . . naive musings, and charming products of our limited humanoid imagination that help us cope with our ephemeral passage aboard this fragile blue spaceship, as it hurtles through the vastness of dark empty space. It is enough to make a Homo sapien thirsty for a handcrafted cocktail!

Yes, my Presumptuous Primates, CAYA is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to wander by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary evolutionary destination, or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

!!Please drink responsibly and arrange for safe transportation!! ... your well-being is our first priority!

P.S. This week's Haberdashery Flashback takes us back to March 18th, 2004; CAYA - Here Comes the Sun!

CAYA; Ode to the Star Man

"However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope.” - Steven Hawking

Dear Lost Souls,

Bound and blinded by our subjective glimpse of a vast intractable reality, we strive for individual meaning and belonging. With a pinhole camera's view projected on to a fleshy primate neuronet, we ride on waves of hope, desperation, triumph, and despair . . . all of our own creation. So why not enjoy the ride? . . . make popcorn and lemonade, and revel in the granulated cinema of the ephemeral human experience . . . embracing the projected spectacle of our hopes, dreams, and perfect delusions in an intelligible universe of our own creation.

Yes, my CAYA Cosmonauts, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening. Cocktails will be served at 7.30pm. As always, please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route across your event horizon to your primary Friday evening singularity . . . or to linger in the infinite!

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA; All Things Being Equal

Dear Lost Souls,

Night & day . . . ying & yang . . . darkness & light . . . good & evil . . . peanut butter & jelly . . . ebony & ivory . . . Milli & Vanilli . . . our world in perfect balance . . . though sometimes deceiving to the senses. We search for meaning as our center of gravity shifts to a new season . . . from today to tomorrow . . . an incremental step in a timeless, ceaseless dance, in which we search for an order, a structure, or a star to follow:

An eclectic star ignited in the celestial kiln of our infinite imagination . . . chilled by the vast distance of time and space  . . . whose perception is garnished with millennium of the sweet collective human mythology that feeds our bright eyed quest for a sense of meaning . . . and perpetuates the illusion of a universe that we might dare to manifest inside our minds eye. A quantum cocktail of vast fluid possibility precariously held aloft within the fleshy temporal lens of perception through which we view our nanofraction of participation in the life of a benevolent universe.

Yes, my Intrepid Cosmonauts! . . . Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening.  Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. As always, please feel free to rocket by for a quickie en route to your primary celestial destiny . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours!
