May 16th, 2012 • LAMINATION NATION

16 May


This Wednesday (tonight) from 9pm(ish) until 12(or later) at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: LAMINATED CraftNight! 
$2 Processing Fee
$4 Cosmopolitan Drink Special – Makin’ Memories with the Akbar Cosmo…

Tonight we’ve got the laminator, and we’re not afraid to use it. We’re sort of on the “heat-based” craft kick this month, since we did Shrinky Dinks last week. This is a color and cut craft as well, it’s a real crowd pleaser!
If you’re not sure how to begin, I’ve got some home made templates of mini license plates which look great on any bicycle or miniature tractor or trailer. And I’ll also have a luggage tag template, which will help you make the most awesome and unique luggage tag this side of the Rio Grande (and maybe on the other side of the Rio Grande as well.)
If it’s flat and can be laminated: we’ll laminate it.
There WILL be sparkles, there WILL be pens, there WILL be cocktails.
Why in heavens would you want to miss any of it?

See you at the Craft Table!

May 2nd, 2012 • Cinco de Mayo Craft

02 May


This Wednesday (tonight) from 9pm(ish) until 12(or later) at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Cinco de Mayo Craft!
$2 Processing Fee
$4 Cosmopolitan Drink Special – ¡Ole!

We’re making sombreros out of paper plates and cups, it’s Cinco de Mayo on the 5th of May, so it’s good to be prepared, don’t you think?
Only the extremely fashionable in Los Angeles will be seen with their paper sombreros this close to Mexican Independence Day.
The revolution begins with you.
Such a statement may sound trite and pithy, but I concur.
One small shift in the way you decide to saunter over to CraftNight and not to the cable box, and the thread of existence is already something other than it was before, a tiny change with HUGE results. What you do at CraftNight may feel silly, no big deal, a difference in pleasure and camaraderie imperceptible to the average nightlife attendee, but make no mistake, such activity is far from insignificant.
The tiny ways of working with puffballs, glitter, colors and shapes in a bar is another way of being in and of the world in a way that upholds an ancient consciousness that is elemental to humans hanging out together.
Come hang with us, it’s bound to be somethin’ special!

See you at the Craft Table,

April 25th, 2012 • Wooden Jungle Animal Puzzles

25 Apr


This Wednesday (tonight) from 9pm(ish) until 12(or later) at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Wooden Jungle Animal Puzzle
$2 Processing Fee
$4 Cosmopolitan Drink Special – Takes a Drinking and keeps on winking!

Be it gorilla, monkey, tiger or toucan, whichever one you pick tonight is yours for the assemblage and coloration to fit your fancy. I’m saying “puzzle” but that’s really a loose term, they come with instructions that are pretty easy, and we’re pretty relaxed about instructions around here anyway, when it comes to building your own kickass art project. It’s time to get wild like the jungle, like the clouds approaching from the Pacific’s weather system, mighty and unpredictable.

Upon viewing the weather reports, I was skeptical, but now that the trees are blowing fairly sideways and it’s a rollicking swirl of various native (and not so native) plants heaving about losing leaves… it might be safe to say that it’s going to rain. And if it rains, I implore you, visit us anyway, visit us because it’s SO MUCH FUN to brave the rain and feel like an explorer/adventurer in your own city! The big drops aren’t supposed to start until 11pm, if that. Maybe we’ll just get hit with wind and that’ll be that. However it turns out, we just want to see you walk in the door!

Attend CraftNight without any worry of some algorithm-seeking robot sending you ads by spying on your behavior, leave such onerous and creepy tasks to Google and Facebook! Try analog tonight and surround yourself with the company of very real humans and very real cocktails! Fight the borg! Use your hands! Do something useless, enjoy frivolity to the full extent that our physical quantity allows!

See you at the Craft Table (I’m back from Brooklyn!)
