TONIGHT! October 30th, 2013 from 9pm – midnight or later, at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!
Project: BYO- PUMPKIN! 
$2 Processing fee
$4 Cosmopolitans! The Akbar Cosmo: The Real Halloween Spirit!
View Gothtober: 31 Days, 31 Artists, see it all from your screen, FREE ART, YAY!

It’s B.Y.O.P. tonight, and by “P” I mean PUMPKIN!

If you arrive without a pumpkin, I’ll have an auxiliary craft for you to do, but for the rest of you: Bring your pumpkin over here, I’ll have tarps, implements of destruction, bowls for dropping guts, bags for saving seeds (in case you want to roast some) and candles to light them and gaze at your new creation!

But the one thing I will NOT have… is pumpkins. You have to B.Y.O.P. okay? VONS is just around the corner, find an orange squash, purchase it and bring it on over for a carving good time!

See you at the Craft Table,

TONIGHT! October 23rd, 2013 from 9pm – midnight or later, at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!
Project: Ghost Door Hanger Craft! Deluxe!  
$2 Processing fee
$4 Cosmopolitans! The Akbar Cosmo: Here’s to Good Times, Tonight is Kinda Special! 
View Gothtober: 31 Days, 31 Artists, see it all from your screen, FREE ART, YAY!

Whatever you do, don’t turn out the lights or hang out with this ghost door hanger alone! Sit against a wall if you must be near it, you don’t want someone (or something) sneaking up on you!

This festive door hanger kit let’s people know that you are totally enamored with pumpkins, bats, ghosts, the color orange, the color purple, the word “BOO!” and all the treats and trappings of the Halloween season. It’s actually super adorable, it’s not going to keep anyone awake at night, or terrify anyone at all, unless they have a phobia of self-adhesive foam pieces, or an allergy to googly eyes.

Next week we are carving PUMPKINS! If you’d like me to reserve/purchase your pumpkin for you, email me: julianna.parr@gmail.com   I’ll also have a sign-up sheet for pumpkin reservations at CraftNight tonight.

I’m asking $5.00 a pumpkin (you can get a couple small pumpkins or one medium/smallish pumpkin for $5)  reserve  yours today!

This Wednesday, October 9th, 2013 from 9pm ’til  midnight (or later) at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!
Project: Mini Papier Maché Pumpkins and Coffins
$2 Processing Fee, Please
$4 Cosmo Drink Special! The Akbar Cosmo: Fall in love with cocktails all over again! 
Special Guests: The Ukelele Orchestra of the Western Hemisphere (’round 10 or so…) will serenade us! 
Gothtober is HERE! Visit right now, from your desk, 31 days, 31 artists counting down the days to Halloween!

For some, Halloween is pumpkins, candy, changing leaves, haystacks, the scent of fermenting apples and the rich harvest of fall. And for some, Halloween is all about monsters, decay, dread, the freakish unnatural and macabre underworld brought to light to wreak havoc on society. Perhaps you enjoy a bit of the features both, but this Wednesday you’ll be faced with CraftNight crossroads! A decision must be made.

You’ll get to pick which lovely mini container to paint and decorate. Do you want a jovial pumpkin container, or a somber mini coffin container? These are so well made, I was very delighted to find and collect them for you. These keepsake boxes will hold about a handful of M&Ms or candycorn. They are the perfect receptacle for holding secret notes, small gifts or whatever you feel like hiding in plain sight.

So come on in, bring a friend, be eerie, goofy, creepy or autumny, the weather’s supposed to cool down so that you can wear that sweater you bought on clearance last year.

This Wednesday, October 2ndm 2013 from 9pm ’til  midnight (or later) at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!
Project: Egg Carton Eyeballs, Bats and Pumpkins (and whatever else you can think of!)
$2 Processing Fee, Please
$4 Cosmo Drink Special! The Akbar Cosmo: Come to where the flavor is.

To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells,
That first line up above was wrote by Keats
Gothtober’s launched and so far it’s gone well.
Iambic pentameter’s got the beats

From egg cartons we’ll make some eyes and bats
With the hot glue, if you are not a bumpkin
With our pipe cleaners you could craft black cats
And craft a lovely double-sided pumpkin

What else is happening in Autumn’s wake?
Two ladies have a show for girls and guys’s
To Pat & Charlie yourself you should take
And watch them fill the night with song surprises!
