TONIGHT! Wednesday, November 9th, 2016 from 9pm until midnight (or later) it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Painty Wooden Person Thingies 
$3 Donation Please 
$4 Drink specials! Akbar: Because life’s complicated enough

Is it killing you, or making you stronger?

I tellya, I’m a lone wolf when it comes to disappointment, I hole up, read things, sleep on the floor under a blanket fort, live off of strange frozen items… I take time to metabolize what’s given me.

When I thought about doing CraftNight tonight, my inner hermit cringed, because I’m a little bit like a broken porcupine right now, possibly a bit stabby, I’m overwhelmed to the point of a grouchy, taciturn countenance.

But then I remember that I actually like people, and I really like you, and I hope I see you so that we can give each other hugs.

CraftNight was there when Gore lost, it was there for Obama’s win. CraftNight has been through death, destruction, and tragedy. And this is why CraftNight will be here for you this evening. Because art.

The creative act is the opposite of the destructive act. CraftNight is art activism. Over the span of 14 years CraftNight has encouraged thousands of people to connect with themselves and each other by making stuff with their hands.

I purchased extra glitter glue today, I got extra sparkles and letter beads, and I got these super strange blank wooden “person” thingies. You can make yours into a cat or a unicorn or whatever. Come in and live with presence, give yourself a moment.

Akbar’s CraftNight rumpus room will be a mellow place for you to relax and space out, not have to make too much conversation, and melt into a painty project while you have a delicious cocktail.

We have a planet to save, and a terrifyingly insane to-do list to get started on… but not tonight.

Tonight, we’re just gonna do things nice and easy.

See you at the Craft Table,

JP Craft Captain
