This Wednesday, February 29th, 2012 from 9pm until midnight at Akbar it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Magnet Crafts on LEAP DAY!!! 
$2 Processing fee, please!
$4 Cosmopolitans! The best part of waking up, is Cosmo in your cup! 

It is with great pleasure and happiness that I announce our very FIRST Leap Day CraftNight in the history of all CraftNights!

As you know, the 29th of February comes into existence once every four years to keep our seasonal calendar from tearing apart and blasting the collective world’s chronological structure asunder, making everyone’s day runners and smartphones explode into a fiery pit of misery.
Adding an extra day to the calendar every four years compensates for the fact that a period of 365 days is shorter than a solar year by almost 6 hours! It’s totally amazing that people can figure this sort of thing out! This is cause for celebration.
To commemorate this wonderful day that messes with people’s reality and perception of time and space, we’re going to play with magnets. Magnets can help you organize your life, you can make a modular calendar for your fridge and add or subtract your OWN version of leap year! I’ll break out the foam shapes and the glue and the felt and it’s up to you to make whatever you want!
You’ll get some magnet strips, and you have the option of creating one or two BIG magnets, or cutting the strips and making a bunch of mini magnets! Don’t let stuff fall off your refrigerator ever again, magnetize it! Or make a fake lodestone that leads you to your lover! Or do that thing where you chase one magnet with another one and scootch it all over the table and it looks all supernatural! I don’t know… do what you wanna do, but come do it HERE at CraftNight this week!

The next time leap day falls on a Wednesday CraftNight, we’re going to be a helluva lot older, so come in and play so you can say you were THERE for the history books!

Project: Fusion Beadzzz
$2 Processing fee, please!
$4 Cosmopolitans! It’s cold outside, warm up with a cosmo! 

Tonight will be a heat-based craft, the legendary FUSION BEADZZZ will be fusing near you! What’s that all about, you say? Well don’t naysay your opportunity to find out because it’s just too fabulous. As you know, anytime we put heat and plastic together, everyone goes a little crazy.

Like many a CraftNight craft, this craft is a beady, melty wollup of a good time, and if you are into detail, this is your bag, man. If you’re into color, say no more, just busy yourself gettin’ in here, we’ll be waiting with bells (and crafts) on.

Come in, sit and enjoy.

Project: Valentines for All
$2 Processing fee, please!
$4 Cosmopolitans! The drink of modern romance! 

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Do you know the language of the floweret?
Many are the starrs I see,but in my eye no starr like thee.

We’ll be cutting, gluing, snipping, folding and flippin’ out on all the awesome valentines we’re going to make for each other at this Wednesday’s CraftNight! It doesn’t stop at Valentine’s Day, either! These holidays also fall on the 14th of February:
Extraterrestrial Culture Day
Frederick Douglass Day
Ferris Wheel Day
League of Women Voters Day
(World)Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Day
National Condom Day
Pet Theft Awareness Day

We have some awesome scraps, you know we do, we’re CRAFTNIGHT. If we’re not about good scraps, what are we even doing?!? Come on in, make something tasty, tawdry, racy or bawdy! And… if you are feeling curmudgeonly about V-Day… just remember that making Valentines is practically so uncool that it actually is cool. And also why eat a frozen lasagna by yourself when we’re all here waiting for you to make up your mind and come have fun with us?
Frozen lasagna = not romantic or interesting
Valentines with friends = Fun, Creative, Weird and Fun. Did I mention fun? Oh yeah, and it could be romantic too! Let me count the ways…
