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.

CAYA: BOO HO HO GOBBLE GOBBLE

Dear Lost Souls,

Jazus, Mery n'Jozef! All we need is a leprechaun and bunny rabbit for a full scale holiday pop up orgy! Yes, its that time of year again . . . when we start free-basing a toxic capitalist cocktail of cultural appropriation, imperialist genocide, wanton gluttony, and unbridled consumerism all packaged up for us by the mass media as a 'merry celebration of the holiday season' ! But fear not ye intrepid Haberdites! . . .  in these halcyon daze of Indian summer, there is still a sanctuary from the swirling tempests of the Amurican Dream! So, grab your cutest canary and come hither from thy proverbial coal mines to join us in the eclectic twilight of the Haberdashery's weekly communion of alchemical excellence. Just leave your cultural baggage at the bottom of the stoop and come gift yourself an evening's reprieve from the insanity of the season. Come As You Are.

Yes, my Ghosts and Gobblins, Cocktail Hour is on this Friday evening, yet again . . . like a vu ja de! Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to trick or tweak on by for a quickie en route to your primary holiday orgasmafest . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA; No Reservations Required . . . 🧟‍♂️ for the Zombie Apocalypse 🧟‍♀️

Dear Lost Souls,

Administration officials arrive to
testify at impeachments hearings

State and federal administration officials have reassured the populous that they have the 'best people' working on the Zombie Apocalypse . . . with great strides forward already being reported in progressive initiatives like; extended energy grid outages, exploding refineries, perilous geopolitical isolationism, election meddling . . . and some ominous rumblings of earth quake season thrown in for good measure. Rest assured that the constitutional crisis remains precisely on schedule, our national infrastructure remains full of potential, and the healthcare system is on the verge of . . . well, it is on the verge. Did we mention the opioid crisis?

Behold, up ahead on the temporal horizon . . . a beacon of delicious distraction . . . an oasis of mellifluous tranquility . . . a canopy of dappled low expectations . . . under a twinkling constellation of eclectic wishing stars offering the promise of sweet delusion and an ephemeral excursion to the land of cognitive dissidence: The Haberdashery . . . your Last Resort. Come As You Are.

Yes, my Emissaries of Jesterville, Cocktail Hour is on for this evening. Please feel free to roll up for a quickie en route to your evening's primary dumpster fire . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,

Dear Lost Souls,

Dear Lost Souls!

Fall is upon us and that means that Rocktoberfest is here!

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!
