Kan Koozies! • July 26th, 2017

This Wednesday, July 26th, 2017 from 9pm until midnight (or later) it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Kan Koozies!
$3 Donation Please 
$4 Drink specials! Akbar: Your Cocktail Runneth Over! 

CraftNight Lieutenant, Jazz, will be at the help this week, hosting a freaky, foamy night of KAN KOOZIE KRAZY!!! What the heck’s a kan koozie? It’s one o’ those cylindrical enclosures you put on your canned beverage to keep it cool while you walk around at the beach, the campfire, the backyard soirée!

Because it’s not hot yet. I mean… the temperatures we’ve seen around here are warm, yah, sure they are, but August and September are nigh, and THAT, my friend, that is some summertime madness. That’s when everyone breaks out the Raymond Chandler quote about how hot it is, when parking lot fights happen more frequently and more angrily, cats PANT. When it reaches that apex, you just wish you could peel your skin right off your bod to escape the concrete-reflecting fiery heat.

Decorate your kan koozie and impress everyone at your next social event. No one will tell you to your face that they’re jealous of the custom job you’ve done on your new piece of gear but they are extremely envious and wish they were you, believe me. They will seethe quietly and roll their eyes pretending they don’t care, but really they’ll be eating their hearts out. Because you’ll be beating the heat all handmade style, flaunting your glittery, bauble-laden, googly-eyed, beaded brazen masterpiece of an ice cold beverage.

See you at the Craft Table,

JP Craft Captain (be back next week!)

Summer Variety! • TONIGHT! July 12th, 2017

This Wednesday, July 12th, 2017 from 9pm until midnight (or later) it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Summer Variety!
$3 Donation Please 
$4 Drink specials! Akbar: High Performance Delivered

Elysian Park alone has had FIVE fires since June 30th, that’s a lot of fires!

We’ve entered fire season early, the June gloom has given way to parched skies warming tiny bundles of tinder in the forests just waiting to combust into trouble. When it’s like this, I feel like hosing off my brain, as if my thoughts are akin to the dry and flammable kindling of the southland’s thirsty hillsides.

To help this sizzling seventh month along, the crafts this week continue to be selections from the vault. You must understand: 15 years of CraftNight means, effectively, 750 nights of hosting crafts every single week. There have been leftover supplies from time to time, I don’t throw them away. I save them for summertime! This meansI have a sweeping assortment of projects for you to choose from, from old classics, to wonderful weirdness!

Will you make a clothespin airplane? A princess castle? Will you decorate a doorknob hanger? Do let’s find out! Cool off that rainless brain of yours, bring it in from outside, give it something creative to do, along with some shade and a refreshing cocktail. Treat your cerebellum oblongata to a night of delicious diversion.

See you at the Craft Table,

JP Craft Captain

Craft Surprise Times • TONIGHT! July 5th, 2017

TONIGHT! Wednesday, June 5th, 2017 from 9pm until midnight (or later) it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Surprise! 
$3 Donation Please 
$4 Drink specials! Akbar: It’s as Good as Everyone Told You!   

1.) Is there CraftNight tonight? – YES! 

1.) Does your Craft Captain know what tonight’s craft is? – NO! 

3.) Will the craft be fun, no matter what it is? – YES!

I’ve been out of town, and many things have happened since I saw you, and you know what? I’d really like to see you tonight, if you have the time. Having arrived in town only recently, I don’t have an exact plan for the craft we are doing, but such a thing isn’t even a hiccup in the certainty of being able to provide for you a craft experience that will be gladly satisfactory.

It’s HOT outside, and the forecast shows that the week will only get hotter. Why not treat yourself to a cocktail, some crafts, a bit of air conditioning, some camaraderie in a lovely queer-friendly atmosphere, summer nightlife, under the waxing gibbous that is our little ol’ moon?

See you at the Craft Table,

JP Craft Captain
