This Wednesday, November 26th, 2008 it’s the AKBAR PRE-THANKSGIVING DANCE PARTY!!!
CraftNight will continue its regular programming on December 3rd, 2008
THANK YOU VERY MUCH:
1.) For AKBAR, the neighborhood oasis, the Sunset & Fountain haven where you can drink to trouble, talk about everyone else’s troubles, or make NEW trouble! The Akbar family network of friends and personnel makes CraftNight tick, from Ms. Mike Glass’s expert spinning and craft-tastic assistance week after week, Terry’s door-jammin’ hunkiness and help, Mikey, Stefan and Sophie pulling cocktails, Jeffrey, Ruth, David, Peter and Scott, and everyone else it’s a true miracle dream to call Akbar home.
2.) The KITCHEN! Oh hey, get yourself some macaroni and cheese from the kitchen! Winter goodness at its best! Of course, you can’t beat the chicken noodle soup either, oh jeez, just get in there, you’ll see what I mean! Thanks to Dave, Rochelle, kitchen staff, and of course, the Owner from Handsome, USA: Fred!
3.) For CRAFTERS! Because what’s CraftNight without you coming in and making stuff with us? We’d kist be gluing googly eyes to our foreheads and blathering nonsense all night! Thank you for those of you who have been coming in for the last 6 years since CraftNight’s inception, for those of you who jump in and start crafting before you even knew you sat down, for fearless and shy crafters, early and late crafters, crafters who might not always come to CraftNight… but who always read the bulletins!
4.) For CRAFT LIEUTENANTS! You guys keep the fire burning bright with your tireless efforts and generosity! And special thanks for those who have made craft supply donations, or whoever that troublemaker is that puts 20 dollars(!!!) in the donation skull from time to time, for those who send photos of CraftNight events, who bring in odd geegaws for crafting, for those of you who help me set up at the beginning of the evening and/or help me clean at the end of the night, thank you for your time and kindness, it’s a pleasure to have you.
5.) For THANKSGIVING! Because though it has totally bunkus roots in the historical sense (a robust nationwide feigned ignorance regarding nasty real-estate squabbles, pestilence, back-stabbing, muskets, dorky hats with buckles on them, maize…) it has another set of themes that endure year after year: togetherness, appreciation for the harvest and the theme of gratitude in general.
6.) For OBAMA!
7.) For everyone who worked hard to make a difference on NO on 8! Hey, remember prop 22? Though prop 8 passed, we’ve made so much more progress and made so many more people aware of gay rights! It’s only a matter of time, we’ll get there, let’s keep working!
8.) The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! REALLY REALLY BIG BALLOONS!
Okay then, I’m sure there’s so much more to be thankful for, make your list today!
If you don’t have any plans on Thanksgiving, take a peek at Gobble Gobble GIVE! Go schlep food to those in need, you’ll be better for it!
See you next week at the Craft Table!
Food, fun, family, friends, festivities,
JP Craft Captain
