  • UPCOMING

    Wed. November 19th 9pm >>> SQUARE DANCING CRAFTNIGHT with TRIPLE CHICKEN FOOT!!!
    Tues. November 25th 8pm – 10pm >>> BET YER BOTTOM BINGO!!!
    Wed. November 26th >>> No CraftNight because AKBAR’S “PIE” DANCE PARTY!!!


What time is it? TURKEY TIME, at least that’s what this jaunty paper sculpture says when you look at it and laugh. Any of your friends or relatives who enjoy corny jokes is going to LOVE this thing. It’s a perfect gift. It’s something to talk about. It’s a piece of decor that will compliment your life, or anyone’s life you give it to, it really is just that good. It involves a paper plate, which you can rip off the wall and use as an ACTUAL PLATE in times of emergency.

With this one, I’m going easy on you, it’s simple, it’s direct, there’s not a whole lot of commitment involved.  If you have friends who are scared of crafting, or if you have a date that you want to impress or get to know better while doing something that appears seasonal and also innocuously endearing, this could be for you. It’s the perfect kind of craft for light and airy fun, just pop in and make one, make it a keepsake for yourself or your pals.

This is our second to last CraftNight of November, the week after this it’s hand turkeys and SQUARE DANCING WITH LIVE MUSIC FROM TRIPLE CHICKEN FOOT!!!! And then OMG it’s December! Eeeek!

See you at the Craft Table,

HAND TURKEYS • November 14th, 2012

Wednesday November 14th, 2012 from 9pm – 12-ish at Akbar it’s CRAFTNIGHT!
Project: Hand Turkeys, a CraftNight Classic!
$2 Suggested Donation 
$4 Cosmopolitan Drink Special: The Akbar Cosmo, Now You’re Drinkin! 

All you need to make a hand turkey is: Your hand, markers, paper, maybe some glue, an Akbar cosmo, your hand…

The “Hand Turkey” is a CraftNight classic, we always make them without fail so that you may wow your house guests, friends, relatives, whatever, with a handmade holiday decoration made especially by you. Just think about it: Your HAND can be TRACED and turned into a TURKEY. It’s good to be alive!

Once you perform that small task, there is nothing to stop you from augmenting and decorating your hand turkey to suit your personal expression. You can put boots on your turkey, make it a french maid turkey, a hand turkey talking on the phone with a foot turkey, a bearded turkey, musclebound turkey, extreme turkey, vulcan turkey, however you want to make it, it will never be replicated, because it’s your hand, and it’s unique, just like you!

But you know what? I’m going to up the ante this year, since Thanksgiving is about many things, but whether you’re vegetarian, vegan or not, it’s all about EATING. I’m going to bring some clear contac paper, and you can turn your hand turkey portrait into a PLACEMAT. This option is purely at your discretion, not mandatory in any way, but it IS an exciting way to make dinner look even weirder  and more festive than previous Thanksgiving meals. Heck, make one for each guest at the table!

The next week, for November 21st, in lieu of CraftNight, it will be Akbar’s Celebrated “PIE” featuring delicious grooves and delicious people to dance with before the “Gobblepocalypse” hits us with capital Triptophan on Thanksgiving Day! There’s no cover, and the Brite Spot will be serving up some actual PIE for you to sample, so lace up your dancing shoes, it’s time to shimmy!

See you at the Craft Table,
