CAYA; No Cocktail Hour This Week

Dear Lost Souls,

Unfortunately, this Friday evening your wily hosts will once again be out and about in their roles as Haberdashery Ambassadors. We invite you to do the same, secure in the knowledge that we will hoist a goblet in the general direction of our hallowed halls to toast our solemn constitution; inviting you to do the same.

We'll see you next week!

Yours!
Los Cabañeros

Dear Lost Souls,

On the occasion of the bottling of the Haberdashery Brew Company's latest offering, our Ocean View Porter, we are reminded of WeBe's proud history as Ocean View, California . . .

Before the I880 freeway, before the Berkeley Marina (landfill), and before the bay bridges were built . . . the community of Ocean View, with its quaint harbor at the foot of Delaware Street (currently Spenger's) and sprawling pier was nestled up against the mighty Bay of San Francisco, with a sunset view out through the picturesque Golden Gate (pre-bridge!) . . . simpler times in an outpost town on the outer rim of a country still establishing a national identity and finding its place in the world. The Haberdashery’s hallowed gathering hall was bay-front property (now the shore of Aquatic Park), with sand dunes and salt flats out beyond the back porch. Come take a look yourself! Oh, the images you’ll find in a glass of our fine WeBe brew!

Yes, my Merry Mariners, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening. And so we toast a bit of history, a bit of nostalgia for the innocence of an adolescent nation, and a bit of hope for the adventures that yet await on our individual and collective voyages out beyond the Golden Gate . . . and into the great unknown.

Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your primary Friday port of call . . . or to find anchor in the Haberdashery’s protect harbor indefinitely.

Yours!

August Blurrrrr

Dear Lost Souls,

A deep thorough and scientific survey of Haberdites has indicated that August has started out as . . . and promises to continue to be . . . a whirlwind of non-stop activity . . . a mounting wave of energy building up to the crescendo of an explosion of fire and creativity in the Nevada Desert! 'Tis the repository of all those activities that we couldn't get scheduled earlier in the summer but want to accomplish before autumn comes. Difficult as it is, we endeavor to pace ourselves . . . stealing moments of sanity along the way to quench our need for a centered peace . . . searching for an oasis along the journey. And so, August is a microcosm of our personal celestial journeys across this vast universe of time, space, and possibility . . . reinventing the rules as we go . . . but occasionally showing deference to the Oxford comma.

Yes my Bonnie Spheremates!! Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening! We invite you to take pause from your epic soliloquy, and to join for an adult beverage under the eclectic shade of your favorite Last Resort.  Dreams will be shaken, hearts will be stirred, and merry colored elixirs will flow from the handy work of the Haberdashery's dedicated band of Alchemists. Your presence is our pleasure and you contentment our reward.

Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your primary Friday evening whirlwind . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours!

Dear Lost Souls,

There will be no Cocktail Hour this week . . . as your humble hosts have other critical diplomatic missions, engaging the world at large. We will certainly remember to  hoist a cocktail in reverence to our solemn communion, and ask that you do the same, where you may find yourself!

Yours,
Los Cabañeros
