This Wednesday, August 5th, 2015 from 9pm until midnight (or later) at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Surrealist Games with Camp Counselor Andrew!
Screening: Troop Beverly Hills
$3 Processing fee, please
$4 Drink Specials: Triple Soothing Action
CRAFTNIGHT CAMPFIRE RESORT IS READY FOR AUGUST!
In the footsteps of Dali, Magritte, Miro, Man Ray, and more, we shall dive into the unconscious with some avant-garde crafts! These surrealist crafts/games require no strategy, no logical deductions and no specific skills!
This evening centers around freeing your mind from the constraints of discursive order. Camp Counselor, Andrew, will be leading this expedition into the provocation of bourgeois normalities.
For the Exquisite Corpse project, you’ll be shown how to produce drawings that lead you far far away from conscious intention.
For the Surrealist Collage project, you’ll use magazines to produce fantastic amalgamations of the delirious and grotesque!
SCREENING:
If that’s just too much for you this week, in cheeky and notable opposition to the spirit of surrealist games, we’re screening Troop Beverly Hills starring Shelly Long as a spoiled, 80s-era aristocrat who transforms herself into a warm and useful person! Look for Pia Zadora, Annette Funicello, Kareem Abdul Jabar and Cheech Marin! Look for Rodeo Drive, Spago’s and other LA Landmarks! Wax nostalgic for the display of overt, devout materialism that was the late 80s!
The CraftNight Store will have movie munchies for you to snack on as you watch this cherished camp classic next to our indoor resort campfire.
See you at the Craft Table,
JP Craft Captain
PS- We will also have Resort badges for anyone who wants to earn them. You can get this week’s limited edition “FAT CHRIS PRATT” badge, and you can also earn the Angie Cho Badge, the campfire badge, the Kenefick Mind Pavilion badge, and who knows what else…

Project: Kaleidoscopes
$3 Processing fee, please
$4 Drink Specials, perfect for getting rid of the curse of work!
You get to make your own kaleidoscope at CraftNight this week, which is very momentous. In this day and age, a kaleidoscope is like “big deal, who cares, whatever.” But these tiny devices offer so much more in a metaphorical and philosophical way. You should come in and make one because they are powerful talismans:
1.) CATHARSIS – Because do you remember looking into a kaleidoscope for the first time as a kid? How do those colorful shapes get in there? What are they made of? How do they change? Why don’t they fall out of the tube?!? Finally, all of these answers will be yours because we have the supplies and you will now know everything.
2.) EMBRACING THE UNKNOWN – Every time you look into a kaleidoscope, it’s different. The little chips get shaken around, you turn the tube, and all the pieces move around to make a cool design, and it’s different every single time. You have no control over what those little chips are going to show you! It’s crazy! But it’s pretty! Let the chips fall where they may!
3.) IT IS WHAT IT IS – So pieces fall away and come together inside this cheap little tube full of simple plastic bits. The oblivious busy world is going to throw you everything ever, and sometimes things will be joyous and sometimes things will suck… but no matter what, the pieces of your kaleidoscope will still come back together and make a new design. This is both beautiful and terrifying. Reflect.
4.) YOU GOTTA START – Deep thoughts aside, a kaleidoscope and all that if offers doesn’t do crap unless you pick it up and aim it toward a light source. This worthless trinket from childhood is cleverly disguised as a powerful symbol for the potential you have at finding and sustaining beauty in your life despite continuous changes and challenges. And yes, I know, there are days, weeks, months or even years that will make you flip off the kaleidoscope and be mad at it, and ignore it and all that… but it’s always there for you when you are ready to pick the darn thing up and see something new.
I’m still in Tahoe, on honeymoon, I’ll be back next week. At the helm this week, bravely steering the craft ship toward certain greatness, is CraftNight Lieutenant, Andrew! He’ll set you up with everything you need to create the pretty pretty tube of colors. Also can I get points for typing the word “kaleidoscope” a bunch of times?
UPCOMING in MAY!

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,
