No CAYA this week . . .

Dear Lost Souls,

There will be no Cocktail Hour this week... as your Cabaña Boys are busy either still cleaning up from the dust (almost done!) or getting some new one at Fly Ranch, but we invite you to hoist a glass and toast your fellow Haberdites! 

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

🍁 🍂 Come As You Are: It's Rocktoberfest! 🍂 🍁

Dear Lost Souls!

Fall is upon us and that means that Rocktoberfest is here! After months of careful planning, scheming, and prep, your resident cabana boys and ne're-do-wells are ready to kiss summer's lazy attitude goodbye and dive into the vibrant crisp dynamism of Autumn's bloom. So . . . strap on your axe, grab your squeezebox, fire up your harp, tickle your ivories, copulate your cajon, and get ready to twizzle your bejizzle . . . it's time to make some noise and have some fun! . . . Come leave last season's cares at the foot of the stoop, and join us at The Last Resort under the dappled shade and shadow of low expectations and eclectic starlight . . . it's just another Friday night of alchemical madness at The Haberdashery. Come As You Are!

Yes, my Seasonal Simians, Cocktail Hour is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to shwing by en route to your primary autumnal celebration, or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA: Peach? 🍑 . . . or not?

Dear Lost Souls!

It has been a slow week in the news . . . nothing to see here. The planet is not in a death spiral of biblical proportions and our nation is not in the throws of constitutional crisis. Soooo, this week the Haberdashery will just be having some good clean alchemical fun; experimenting with our new 'InPeach' cocktail. The ingredients are secret, the process is fraught with uncertainty, and the project's outcomes could facilitate a sticky disastrous mess . . . with consequences to be borne by future generations of Haberdites. But, heh! . . . 'God hates a coward' . . .  and whatever the result, I'm sure it will be hoot for everyone!

Yes, my Nascent Nihilists, Cocktail Hour is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to wander by aimlessly in a delirious haze en route to wherever the hell you may be headed, or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA: Celebrating Justice, Equity, and Environmental Protection

Dear Lost Souls!

It seems like we just celebrated the Equinox six moths ago . . . and yet here we are again! Yes, summer is fading fast and autumn is in the air . . . along with the growing seeds of political unrest and environmental action. Sooo . . . at the end of another long week in the proverbial coal mines, a vigorous day of marching in the streets for planetary survival, or a lifetime of tireless advocacy for political revolution, we invite you to join your fellow Haberdites for some ephemeral repose at The Last Resort . . . to savor a few moments of tranquility beneath CAYA's dappled canopy of low expectations, and to taste the Haberdashery Brewing Company's latest offering, our poignant "Czechs and Balances" Lager. It is sure to remind you of the legislative countermeasures that our nation's founding fathers baked into our constitution to ward of oligarchy and corruption  . . . or else hopefully (at least) it will help you to temporarily 
forget how completely fucked we are as a nation and a planetary species on the verge of ecosystemic collapse.

Yes, my Politically Polemic Planet Protectors, Cocktail Hour is on for this evening . . . back at The Haberdashery, and toasting the prospect of positive change that we pray is in the air. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to march on by en route to your cause du jour, or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

No CAYA - Visiting Planet Home

Dear Lost Souls!

There will be no Cocktail Hour this week . . . but we invite you to hoist a glass and toast your fellow Haberdites, near and far, wherever they may be.

For those of you in the SF Bay Area, we invite you to join us at the Planet Homeevent at the Palace of Fine Arts, where we will be seeking to help solve some of the myriad of sticky problems facing our fragile blue spaceship, as we hurtle through the darkness of infinite space towards an uncertain future.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA - Let The Folly Burn, Ye Children of Chaos 🔥 🔥 🔥

Dear Lost Souls!
The Folly

Tipping our hats to all of our Haberdite Burners enjoying the chaos out on Playa in Black Rock City, tonight at The Haberdashery we will feature a livestream of the midnight torching of The Folly. The Follyholds a special place in our hearts, and we salute the months of tremendous effort, expense, and love that went into its conception and execution. It is always extraordinary to see how the power of the ephemeral can manifest in an art project of this scale . . . one that ultimately exists for less than a week . . . and we thank its creators for their hard work and dedication!

Yes, my Pesky Pyromaniacs, Cocktail Houris on for this Friday evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm . . . and we will feature the live stream from Black Rock City through to The Folly burn at midnight. As always, please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary destiny . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros
