Craft Night with Ranger Joe takes over the Amigo Room once a month, melding the DIY spirit of summer camp with a cocktail party. And Ranger Joe is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Here are some pictures from last month’s Craft Night — we made macrame necklaces out of fabric, inspired by Michael Schmidt’s rope installation in the Ace Palm Springs lobby. Cotton Ball, Ranger Joe’s kitty, got the supplies ready in advance. Next week is “Ghosts of Craft Nights Past” — Ranger Joe is bringing the remains of all previous Craft Nights so you can create a beautiful frankenstein, or crazy quilt, or hodge-podge of inspiration.
