Ye Olde CrafteNighte Crafte Faire!!! • Dec 13th, 2017

Wednesday, December 13th, 2017 at Akbar SPECIAL 8pm START TIME!!! 
****8pm – 12pm >>>Crafte Faire Opens with Local Vendors!   

*****9pm The Ukulele Orchestra of the Western Hemisphere Serenades us!
******9pm (ish) Make a Felt Vulva Ornament with the Audre Lorde Womens Health Center!  

Who doesn’t love celebrating holiday traditions with vulvas, hot drinks, and ukuleles? We’ve got all that AND MORE for the LAST CraftNight of 2017 at Ye Olde CrafteNighte Crafte Faire!

We’ll have pins, magical spell jars, quilts, buttons, holiday fascinators, skincare products, stained glass jewelry, ceramic art pieces, pottery, clothing, skivvies, pasties, Sno-Globs, and scads of other fabulous gift items for you to purchase! We’ve got music, fanfare, holiday drinks, including a very special HOT DRINK SPECIAL (which we almost never do!), and it’s just going to be a warm and festive and fun night in the bar. More info on vendors etc. on the FB Event! 

The treasure we have at the end of the year, and all the years to come, is each other. While the external whirling and twirling forces of the planet bring us all of the many things they bring (both easy and difficult) may we always be aware of how we can help, soothe, delight, and bring cheer to one another. The wintering sky beckons you toward an enclave of cozy community, a smattering of loving pickled souls on twinkling Sunset Boulevard. Get your butt in here and have a hot cider already because wherever you go, there you are. Give yourself the gift of a hug from us!

See you at the Craft Table,

JP Craft Captain

****Project: BYO-Pumkin CARVE-O-RAMA! 

*****$3 Donation Please 
******$4 Drink specials! Akbar: Sass in a Glass since the Gay 90s, Dahling! 

STEP ONE: Find a Pumpkin! 

STEP TWO: Bring your Pumpkin to CraftNight! 

STEP THREE: Use CraftNight’s tables, trash cans, carving tools! 

There is only ONE night that I permit the KNIVES with ALCOHOL at CraftNight, and THIS IS IT! Bring in your pumpkin, and we’ll supply the implements of destruction and the cocktails! I’ll have a candle for your Jack O’ Lantern, and we can take photos of all our carved masterpieces together. I’ll have some spooky Ambience going for you, from music, to something strange playing on the Akbar jumbotron. It’ll be a rollicking good time, hope to see you there! And yeah, you’ve got to BYO-Pumpkin because I can’t be toting 20 pumpkins all over LA, there’s no room in a Lyft for such battiness!

See you at the Craft Table, JP Craft Captain
