Spool Creatures • September 11th, 2013

spool_folk

This Wednesday, September 11th, 2013 from 9pm – midnight or later, at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!
Project: Spool Creatures! 
$2 Processing fee
$4 Cosmopolitans! The Akbar Cosmo: Something Special in the Bar 

When’s the last time you took a good long look at a spool? Turns out it’s been quite awhile for me, what an AMAZING craft opportunity! You can make spool people, spool animals, spool monsters, you can paint’em or glue stuff to ’em or just wrap string around ’em and drag ’em around on the floor to amuse your cat, or even just to amuse yourself. Just don’t eat ’em.

Because spools are such a diverse craft with infinite opportunities to personalize your project, I’m bringing all the bits you need, from fancy plastic gems, to pipe cleaners (to form little limbs) and paint, and beads (to make weird-looking hands and feet), and thread. I’ll also have idea sheets to spark your imagination, because I just can’t believe how many fun things there are to make with spools.

On another note: I’ll have a weird seasonal candy for you to try. Without revealing what it is, turns out that “seasonal” vaguely sums it up. When discovering this item in the candy aisle, it became apparent that the only thing to do is offer up crafters as candy guinea pigs to review the product! Our findings will be posted on the Gothtober Blog. As a matter of fact, each week at CraftNight, we will try and review a different autumn “edible” product as a service to the public. Ever since we reviewed Candy Corn Oreos last year, it became apparent that informing the public about “edible” Halloween products can be helpful.

See you at the Craft Table,

Project: FALL Crafts! (a plethora of classic autumnal favorites)

It’s FALL!

I don’t know about you, but I like to celebrate the Vernal Equinox, Johnny Appleseed Day and Yom Kippur by watching weird cult classic movies, doing crafts, thinking deep thoughts, sipping on cocktails, singing with a ukelele orchestra and participating in some bodywork with a really good masseuse, all in one night at one place.

After tonight’s amazingness, you’re like “what now? How do I keep from getting hopelessly bored in this major metropolitan city?” I’ve nothing to do! I’ve nowhere to go! What will become of me?!?

Here are some answers:

Thursday –  WIG OUT doors open 9:30 theme: PUPPETS (JP & Monica perform with Bob Baker Marionette Puppeteer, Adrien Rose)

Friday – Sat – The PAT & CHARLIE VARIETY HOUR from Cavern Club 9pm

Saturday – TRANSLUCENT TRAVELS at Automata in China Town 8pm (JP presents a weird slideshow)
