March 16

the_latest_thing

This Wednesday March 18th, 2015 from 9pm until midnight (or later) at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Noteholders in THREE varieties! Ant, Plane, Caterpillar! 
$3 Processing fee, please
$4 Drink Specials! Your Springtime Cocktail Headquarters. 

Don’t just stand there like a ninny with your notes in your hands, MAKE A NOTE HOLDER!
You’ll have three different possibilities:

ADORABLE ANTS – Ants are associated with diligence, cooperation and industry. They can also stand for social conformity and mass action. This one is a twee little kit with puffballs and googly eyes, a clip and a magnet for you to attach to the ant. It works! It’s an ant, it’s very anty.

PLEASING PLANES – Say you want your notes to be held in a higher consciousness, this plane note holder is perfect for that! Remind yourself daily of the aspirations you have and new heights to which you are headed! The plane note holders are red, yellow and blue, and are just the sort of bright thing to brighten up a fridge or dungeon lair.

CUDDLY CATERPILLARS – If you want your note holder to carry an aura that signifies an era of change, this is the one for you. People come to Los Angeles to become themselves, and this note holder can remind you daily that you manifest each day as you choose. Comes with a leaf for the caterpillar to sit on, it’s a real humdinger!

Coming Up
• March 24th >>> Bet Yer Bottom Bingo! 8pm – 10pm [Girls, Boys, Balls, Booze, Prizes!]
• APRIL 1st >>> Bunny Necklaces and EGG HUNT! Special Prizes… if you can find ’em!

Wooden Disguises • March 11th, 2015

March 10

damonna

This Wednesday March 11th, 2015 from 9pm until midnight (or later) at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Wooden Disguises for Your Exotic, Mysterious Life! 
$3 Processing fee, please
$4 Drink Specials, everyone gets more lovely with each sip! 

You see someone walking down the street that you do NOT want to see. There are no trashcans or cars or walls for you to duck behind, they are walking toward you, leaning forward, searching for recognition. Quick! Rustle around in your rucksack and pull out your trusty disguise, it’s made of wood, and it looks like a robot, kitty, puppy or butterfly! Expertly you hide your face behind the themed facade, and the opposite party shrugs and walks on by thinking “Huh, to think it could’ve been…”

You will fool anybody and everybody with this wooden disguise mask. Reconnaissance has never been this easy! Fool someone into thinking you aren’t in the room, go incognito to avoid press detection, go undercover in your city to fight for justice!

In other news, it’s NATIONAL CRAFT MONTH so we’re kicking up our heels and feeling rather snazzy, having been at the Craft Table for going on 13 years now, how about that? There will be small but mighty surprises for March’s CraftNight crafters, mark my words.

Other March highlights are: Irish-American Heritage Month, Quinoa Month, National Frozen Food Month and “Mad for Plaid” Month.

Coming Up
• March 24th >>> Bet Yer Bottom Bingo! 8pm – 10pm [Girls, Boys, Balls, Booze, Prizes!]
* April 26th >>> Your Craft Captain is getting married, come to the reception at AKBAR!!! Bring your friends and celebrate Lesbian LOVE! There will be karaoke from 8 to 10, dancing, drink specials, lesbian antics, entertainment and legally wedded bliss. 8:30pm until 1:45am Woooo!!!!

On to tonight’s Craft! 

Oooh, these little foam animal kits are just adorable. Make one and hide it in a friend’s abode or workplace where it will surprise and delight them to no end! This is an assembly craft, where you either assemble the parts according to instructions, or you don’t follow instructions at all and just make whatever the heck you want and have a great time. Some of the animals are bona fide creatures we know and love in our world and some of them are dragons. They are small: perfect for glove compartments, desks, backpacks and dashboards.

Bingo then CraftNight for End o’ February 2015

February 23

craftbingo_feb

TUESDAY February 24th from 8pm – 10pm at Akbar it’s BET YER BOTTOM BINGO!!! 50 Cents a card!
PREMIUM TICKET GIVEAWAYS for our WINNERS, OMG!!!!
• Tickets to the “Queen of Mean” insult stand up comic, Lisa Lampanelli (Racy! Controversial!) at Club Nokia
• Tickets to Dan Savage’s Hump!  The Dan Savage-curated film festival of sex-positive dirty movies made by regular ol’ people in every color of the rainbow doing all kinds of sexy things!
****And of course we also have our usual prizes: Big Bottles o’ Booze, T-shirts, Drink Tickets, and unique JP-picked Premiums that you simply must have…

WEDNESDAY February 25th, 2015 is CraftNight from 9pm until midnight (or later) at Akbar, your neighborhood oasis!
Project: WINTER GRAB BAG
$3 Processing Fee, Please
$4 Drink Specials for your ultimate winter cocktail sipping plans

If a voice is telling you to hesitate before coming in to Bingo or CraftNight this week, try to ignore it. I mean, obviously, if you have the big presentation tomorrow or your leg is broken or whatever, that’s different. But if you’re being namby pamby for no good reason and keeping yourself from giving yourself a wonderful evening: don’t!

You deserve some time of living spontaneously, trying your luck at bingo, making crafts with bohemians and troublemakers, freeing up your spirit to cultivate new friendships and join lively conversations. It’s the 21st century, oh yes it is, but people still seek out “the village tavern.”
We are not coffee, we are not bourgeois, we are beer, wine and cocktails, and we’re all sharing our oneness on the corner of Sunset and Fountain, which means your butt isn’t going to get any warmer or cuter until you visit us.

See you at the Bingo or the CraftNight,
JP Craft Captain/La Binguera

50 Shades of Suncatchers • February 18th, 2015

February 18

muffin_top_muffin

TONIGHT! February 18th, 2015 at Akbar from 9pm until midnight (or later) it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Suncatchers!
$3 Processing Fee
$4 Drink specials *** If you’re gonna knock yer socks off, knock ’em off with Akbar’s signature style cocktails!***
Coming up next week: Bet Yer Bottom Bingo! Tuesday February 24th [TREATS, GIRLS, HOOTCH, BOYS, BALLS, PRIZES, FANFARE, FUN!!!!]

Are you a:

  • Frosted Mini Spooner
  • Tootie Fruity
  • Marshmallow Matey
  • Honey Nut Scooter
  • Boyardee Ravo Spinner
  • Angel Soft Toilie Papel
  • Spam Anvil
  • Helicopter Pie

No matter! Whatever your personal preferences and peccadillos may be, we’ve got suncatchers for you. There are many different types. I’ve got chickies, kitties, puppies, monkeys, elephants, fishies, lions, bugs, flowers, kites, cars and one frog.
They’re made of plastic, they are clear, and the special suncatcher paint you pool within their rigid borders will be the colors and shades that you choose. Many of them come with googly eyes, and the intention with the finished product is that you’ll hang yours in a window. The sun will shine through it, and it will be CAUGHT by the suncatcher and brighten your day.
Anyone else who spies it will also have their day brightened.
This craft is so easy it’s practically fail-safe, which as you know, I do not endorse. If you have any friends who are afraid of failure, bring them to CraftNight at Akbar, because even the most unloved suncatcher is a beautiful suncatcher.

See you at the Craft Table,
JP Craft Captain
