Purim Rave

For the onset of Purim YG put together an impressive rave. For weeks beforehand I’ve had to navigate around the amps, cords, drums, and microphones that have populated my room in preparation. We all gave $20-25 depending on how early you paid. The money was well spent.

Saturday night the bochurim were already under way. They had gotten a sound system, built a stage, set up rafters to hold various lights, covered the walls w/ colored tapestry, shined colored lights in various areas, and even got a disco-ball. All the while they blocked all the doors to keep out free-loaders from the outside and fired up the grill to cook up a gargantuan amount of meat.

Eventually they were done and the live music cranked up. Adam was on the keyboard, Rothman on the drums, and Kudo w/ the electric guitar, they were pretty darn good. Light shined shapes on the floor, the disco-ball sent beams in all directions, the strobe light flashed, and even lasers danced all around the zal. It was rad. They even turned on a smoke machine, which stayed on, and on, and soon you couldn’t see anything. We all danced for who knows how long.
