Where did November go?!? How did that happen? Goodness gracious me, we’re on the last month of the year, how implausible and eerie. Hmmm. Guess you should drag your foxy bones over here and make something cool, because you’re just not going to make anything cooler than a SHRINKY DINK this week, are you?
You could build a jet pack that runs off of vegan twinkies, or find a tiny arachnid that rollerskates and does the splits, or you could register a newfound holiday where everyone gets 5 days off of work and the government is harassed into giving us all free balloons and watermelon poprocks… but making a SHRINKY DINK at CraftNight is way cooler than any of those silly old things, and face it: a lot simpler.
If you don’t know what a SHRINKY DINK is, then you are hereby designated to mandatory CraftNight attendance, because honestly, they are so cool, people go nutso and get all nostalgic and they hug each other and buy each other drinks and sing songs and it’s warm and fuzzy and the quality of human life goes up about 89 points, and everyone tunes into their underlying connection with the unity of all creation. Do you really need an explanation? Okay okay, SHRINKY DINKS involve drawing, coloring, heat and plastic, and that’s all I’m going to tell you. Arrive and be enthralled. If anything, knock back one of Akbar’s famous $4 Wednesday Night Cosmos, it will probably give you a few new ideas for sure!
Oh and Lars’s films Tulips and Forgiveness are each premiering at the Vine Theater at 8pm, go see them if you can, if you visit the site and RSVP, you can get in for free! Red Carpet! Wooo! Lars’s production company is called “Crabtastic” so we’ll have some crab drawings, if you want to make some Crabtastic SHRINKY DINKS in honor of Lars after the premiere! And of course, you might run into some fabulous celebrities from the films, wandering around like they do at Akbar, our little neighborhood oasis.
See you at the Craft Table,
JP Craft Captain
