Sassy Apple Craft! • September 19th, 2018

CRAFTNIGHT! >> WED • Sept 19th, 2018 • Akbar • 9pm to midnight (or later!) 
Craft Project: Sassy Apple Craft!

*******$4 PABST/TECATES • $5 Cocktail Special: Thousands of options
*********$3 suggested donation, please!

I have sassy photo apple frames, and they’re VERY apple-oriented, because it’s Johnny Appleseed Day on September 26th! There’ll be stuff to glue onto your frames, and opportunity to take a photo to put IN the frame.I’ve got glitter glue, googly eyes, more pieces of foam so you can make your own shapes, and even some LEAF shapes, woo! You can fill your apple frame with a drawing, leave it blank, or have your photo taken and printed by CraftNight!

It’s the time of year where apples do their thing, they’re part of the rose family, just like apples and plums, and there are over 7,500 different varieties of apples. Apples are packed with fiber, the average apple contains 4.5 grams, so put down those two servings of Metamucil, because apples are way more fun to eat.

We’re SO CLOSE to the Autumnal Equinox and no it’s not your imagination the sky in Los Angeles is getting more blue. The sun is crossing the celestial equator going south, the light changes, and there ARE leaves that change color, don’t be weird we DO have seasons, you just have to go to it: Descanso Gardens, Ice House Canyon (below Mt. Baldy), LA County Arboretum, Huntington Library Botanical Gardens, Ortega Highway, Mt. Wilson Observatory, to name a few.

See you at the Craft Table,

Disaster Preparedness: 8pm • Apple Necklaces: 9pm • Sept 13th, 2017

~~~~RED CROSS DISASTER PREPAREDNESS CLASS 8pm (before CraftNight) Click here for More INFO and RSVP!
This Wednesday, September 13th at Akbar from 9pm to midnight or later it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
****Project: Alluring Apple Bracelets! 

*****$3 Donation Please 
******$4 Drink specials! Akbar: Be Part of Something Fabulous,  your local Gay Bar! 

It’s HERE it’s HERE! Selena Vazquez from the Red Cross is coming to do a one hour presentation on disaster preparedness at 8pm before CraftNight! It’s FREE to the public, and afterward, it’s CraftNight! There will be handouts, and information about stuff like earthquakes, flooding, and more! Please RSVP if you’ll be there! Click Here! 

Now then: We’re making apple bracelets, because it’s apple season. It’s almost Autumn, no it is NOT Autumn yet. But we’re right there on the edge, just teetering, just tottering on the edge of summer’s end, with the arrival of the Fall equinox palpably close to it’s pumpkin-flavored start date! We can hardly wait, but as we wait… we’re making apple bracelets with cool metal apple charms and fun translucent plastic beads. Featuring red, green and gold apples, this is quite the pre-fall fashion accessory!

This project is quite dainty and pretty. No one’s going to think you’re doing football tryouts if you wear this little ditty on your wrist. You might even have to over explain yourself, or wave your arms wildly to make a point, because apple bracelets aren’t particularly known for being part of one’s “power play” wardrobe. I think this is a terrible mistake, because apples are badass, hearty fruits, and make a fine totem for one navigating the rat race’s many pitfalls. Apples are an American icon, they go in pies, they fit in a lunch sack perfectly, they make great cider, and more! 

The average apple tree lives 100 years! And apples are really good for your brain’s mental alertness because they’re packed with boron, which aides in mental clarity and bone health. All in all, apples promote longevity and strength, so if someone doesn’t vibe with your apple bracelet, don’t let ’em phase you, they don’t understand the power of the illustrious, robust pomme de terre.

See you at the Craft Table,
