TONIGHT! Halloween Bracelet! • September 26th, 2018

TONITE! CRAFTNIGHT! >> WED • Sept 26th, 2018 • Akbar • 9pm to midnight (or later!) 
Craft Project: Halloween Bracelet!

*******$4 PABST/TECATES • $5 Cocktail Special: Brews that are True! 
*********$3 suggested donation, please!

I do not care a FIG that it’s still September, I have so many wondrous Halloween crafts for October that we’re starting NOW. We have to start you off with some couture, dahling, we can’t have you wandering around in your same old rick-rack, we must have an upgrade! I’ve got what you need to gussy up your seasonal plastic jewelry collection, our selection of shiny baubles is PERFECT for these emerging autumn soirees you’ll surely be attending.

It is the night of the waning gibbous, the Harvest Moon came and went, it’s light still illuminating the dregs of everyone’s gardens. Changing moonlight calls to mind the changing nature of all the things.

We walk and drive around on a planet where small creatures fly above our heads and sing stuff. Colorful, juicy things grow on trees, you can eat some of it, it grows from dirt. There’s running water just about everywhere you go, and if you want to, you can use that water to go wash the tiredness from your face WHENEVER YOU WANT.

It’s true it’s here it’s now. It’s a goddamn miracle.

You can always think there’s bigger game to hunt, larger mountains to climb, a different “you” to build… but we like you right this moment just fine. Sweet person, you’re worth it, come make a pretty trinket for your wrist. You can craft… for inspiration.

See you at the Craft Table,

JP Craft Captain

Mardi Gras Disguises • Feb 3rd, 2016

frooty

TONIGHT! Wednesday, Feb 3rd, 2016 from 9pm until midnight (or later) at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Mardis Gras Masks 
$3 Processing fee, please
$4 Drink Specials at Akbar: The Only Way to Fly 

We want you to be prepared for Mardi Gras, which is why we’ve got some clever disguises for you. Wear one of these DIY masks, and next day, your boss can’t accuse you of being the one in the middle of the fray, shaking your moneymaker, showing your bits and drinking with abandon. Paint and decorate it any way you wish, and then get out there, explore the world as another being, as someone or something else, unhindered by the confines of your regular identity.

Because with the disguise you wear, you are free, and no one can tell who you are, or what your job is, or what you love, or how you do your life, or what you’ve got in your wallet. There will be contrition and regret at times, but Fat Tuesday is not one of them. Fat Tuesday is for yelling “F*CK YOOOO!!!!” as loud as possible when they tell you to get off the table. Fat Tuesday is for eating ALL the donuts and being goddamn proud of it.

Mardi Gras is the largest masked party in North America, we don’t want you to miss it. Wear your mask for ritual, for celebration, for the love of art and pageantry and showing off. Wear your mask in order to overturn conventions with style.

See you at the Craft Table!
