CAYA; 2002 Year of the Palindrome

Dear Lost Souls,

Welcome to the international year of the palindrome!!

In honor of this most auspicious year, Haberdashery attendees will only be allowed to communicate in palindromes for the entire year.  In order to simplify this, you may use single word palindromes, complete sentence palindromes or you may simply speak in one continuous palindrome that begins at your arrival and ends with the last words you speak as you are leaving.  Imagine the fun we'll have!

Yes, Cocktail hour is on for this Friday Night!  Drinks will be served at 7:30pm.  Please join us for a toast to the back side of New Years.  As always, feel free to stop by for a quickie, or linger indefinitely.

Greg

Holiday Cocktails II - Carnage at the Dry Bar

Dear Lost Souls,

A Haberdashery task force has relieved the immediate danger to future alchemy which was caused by the Holiday Cocktail Party.  Undaunted by the carnage, we've responded with bigger bottles.  So, the Alaskan Martinis were met with tepid interest at best.  Judging from the enthusiasm for the Manhattans, our lost souls our apparently classical in nature.   Well, so be it then.  In a policy u-turn worthy of our finest administrations, the Manhattan is now the official holiday drink for the season.

Yes, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday.  Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm.  Stop by the Last Resort on your way to, or from, your primary venue for the eve.  Festive attire is optional.  As always, feel free to join us for a quickie or linger indefinitely.

Yours,

Greg

Drink Early - Beat the Rush - Come As You Are

Dear Lost Souls,

Well the sleigh bells are ringing in the bars and malls, children are starting to litigate over their just take for the season and the ominous storm clouds of endless holiday parties loom on the horizon.  What's a time traveler to do but go ugly early, climb the steps of our not-so-sacred cathedral and huddle around the neon glow of the Haberdashery's well irrigated hearth.

YESSS. Friday night cocktail hour is on this week and we invite one and all to come beat the rush for pinballing around the homes of your various office, family and neighborhood festivities.  this Friday will function as our Christmas cocktail party in the hopes of avoiding too many conflicts over the next few weeks . . . God knows, I've got my own party's to go to!  I'll keep y'all posted on the schedule for the Holidays as it unfolds.

Yes, that means Alaska Martinis are going to be flowing and Bing will be Bongin'.  The festivities will start at around 7:30pm on Friday night at 2107 Hearst Avenue. Feel free to stop by for a quickie or linger till the New Year.  Please leave your reindeer parked outside and shake off your troubles at the door . . . we'll take care of the rest.
