CAYA - A Season for Gratitude

Come As You Are; A Place to Zoom Out ...

Dear Lost Souls,

Zooming out tens of thousands of feet can usually offer enough cognitive dissonance for some peaceful perspective. But the gods are dubious in their tossing of lots and liberal in the magnitude of the chaos that they sow. NorCal's smoking veil of tears shares the news cycle with yet another senseless mass shooting in SoCal, a national state of affairs fueled by fabricated division and unhinged aggression, and mounting international unrest exasperated by a planetary ecological house of cards.

But behold ... there is relief on the near horizon. We invite you to zoom in on West Berkeley ... WeBe in the Five and Dime... where The Haberdashery endeavors to offer a bit of weekly refuge for your tattered soul;  a hand-crafted cocktail, a tasty home brew, live music, cozy atmosphere, and some easy fellowship shared beneath our eclectic wishing stars.

Yes, my Intrepid Interlocutors, Cocktail Hour is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to wander on by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary destiny, or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

Come As You Are; Witches, Gremlins & Goblins

Dear Lost Souls,

In this scariest of seasons, we are hounded by the dark forces that linger in the nebulous ether between reality and fantasy ... endlessly taunted by the witches, goblins, and gremlins, that thrive in this atmosphere of duplicity, fueled by the noxious fear and hate that threatens to engulf us all. But once again, The Haberdashery offers you a moment of repose with our weekly communion of easy fellowship and simple repose. Come find a new friend, sing a new song, and (at least for an evening) relegate the toxicity of election season to the cold darkness beyond our hallowed walls, while we warm our hearts in the company of more gentle muses.

Yes, my Serene Spirits, Cocktail Hour is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to swing by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary haunting, or to linger indefinitely ... or at least until Tuesday.

Yours,

Los Cabañeros

Come As You Are; Take a Break From the Hate

Dear Lost Souls,

As the national dialogue spirals out of control and our news cycles continue to be dominated by divisive politics, culture wars, and escalating violence, there sometimes seems no place to turn for relief. So, let us turn inward ... at least for an evening ... and take a break from the caustic rhetoric to spend some simple time in easy fellowship and merry making with our fellow Haberdites. So, Come As You Are, invite a loved one, bring an instrument, leave your frustration at the bottom of the stoop, and come experience a bit of repose; Haberdashery style. Let love reign.

Yes, my Sirens of Serenity, Cocktail Hour is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to swing by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary soiree, or to linger indefinitely.
Yours,
Los Cabañeros

Come As You Are; Midterm Madness

Dear Lost Souls,

'Overwhelmed by the insanity of the season? 'Trying desperately to cope with the deluge of mixed messages with which you are being inundated? We know how you feel ... Indian Summer can be a confusing and difficult time for Solar Empathsand Haberditesalike ... as the days shorten and Summer inevitably gives up the ghost to Autumn's spartan reign.

But fear not! The Haberdasherywill not let this midterm transition distract us from our weekly constitution ... providing a safe harbor for you to find shelter from the cold, warm yourself with one of our custom crafted cocktails, and share some fellowship under CAYA's eclectic wishing stars, languishing in the comforting shade of low expectations.  


Yes, my Autumnal Aristocrats, Cocktail Hour is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to swing by for a quickie en route to your primary evening's harvest, or to linger indefinitely.
Yours,
Los Cabañeros
