No CAYA This Week; T-35 Days to The Haberdashery Mardi Gras Party
Dear Lost Souls,
Research, research, research… it just never ends! There will be no Cocktail Hour this week, as we are in New Orleans engaged in extensive R&D and dedicated field work. Be assured that we are here working tirelessly to pursue the best interests of our global Haberdite community!!
Please be sure to 'save the date' and mark your calendar on March 2nd as the (tentative) date for the 2019 Haberdashery Mardi Gras Party. We will be following up in the coming weeks with additional details and information. Of course, at this point in the Mardi Gras season, all good Haberdites should be well into their training regiment, preparing for the big day!
Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA - 28 Days? WTF@#&%! Time for the "Shutdown Cocktail"
Dear Lost Souls,
At 28 days and counting, there seems to be no end in sight to the federal government shutdown. Ever cognizant of and responsive to current events, The Haberdashery is pleased to honor, and offer our federally employed Haberdites our specially formulated "Shutdown Cocktail" ... a powerful and surprising kick of bittersweetness that is sure to knock you a bit off balance, with an orange aftertaste that lingers ... with an optional purging chaser that eliminates the after taste; we call it "The Mueller".
Yes, my Fearsome Federalists, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening! Join us as we not-so-diligently solve the problems of the world and debate the finer absurdities of the evening's whimsy. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to scamper on by for a quickie en route to your evening's extended furlough or to linger indefinitely!
Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA - Lowering the Bar for 2019!!!
Dear Lost Souls,
In a serendipitous and poorly attended emergency midnight year-end meeting, The Haberdashery Bored adopted a marginally defined resolution to lower institutional expectations for 2019* . . . this, after the runaway success of CAYA's 2018 Minimal Disappointment Initiative. Deep ambivalence to all of you 'true blue' Haberdites who couldn’t really be bothered to make much of an effort!
Yes, my Lethargic Lilliputians, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening! Join us as we belatedly ring in the New Year, Haberdashery Style. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm ... or whenever. Please feel free to wander by aimlessly for a quickie en route to your evening's default destination, or to loiter indefinitely under a glow of low expectations at The Last Resort.
OK! ... Now, let’s get out there and really under perform in 2019!
Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA - 🎄🎄🎄 Already? 😳
Dear Lost Souls,
It seems yesterday that we were celebrating like champions the arrival of 2018, and in the blink of an eye, it’s already time to deal with Holiday parties all over again. ’Tis the season already, and when it comes to celebrate, we are certainly not the ones backing up. So come join us to light up our candelabrum of friendship, roll our spinning top of dreams, and share a cup of good cheer.
Yes, my Punch Drinking Ne'er-do-wells, Cocktail Hour is on for tonight! Please join returning or soon to be leaving Haberdites at the crossroads of hopes and good intentions. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your evening's Holiday party, or on your way back from your company’s way to keep you happy, and linger indefinitely.
