Orginially from Ohio, I went to the big city of New York for about 5 years (mainly for school), and now I am working towards my masters at Cambridge in England. I hope this website gives everyone a taste of what my life is like here... and if nothing else I think you will find it fun and entertaining!!

Jewish Ball: Vertigo 2005

On Sunday Feb 13 was the Jewish Ball, which was really nice, and totally different than the Churchill Ball. It was held at Duxford, the U.S. air force museum... so we got to party underneath the wings of air force planes. It was a really nice venue and decorated really well with cool lights. It was a much more "proper" ball, and more along the lines of what a person would normally think of when they would think of a ball. I felt a bit like Cinderella... the four course dinner (with kosher meat YAAAY)... and the dancing... but it was over at 12.30 am, and by the time the buses got us back to Cambridge it was only 1 am...



An overall view of the venue.



hehe AMERICA YAAAAAAAY!!



Shoop looked gorgeous... LOVE this color dress on her!!



not sure why but the flash didn't seem to quite go off...



Ahhhh there we go... much better... although my hair was RUINED from walking in the rain for so long to get from Churchill to the bus.



Look at all the AWESOME Churchillians at the Jewish Ball!!! Michal and her brother are 2 hot Israelis!!!



Shoop and I sat next to each other at dinner... and our dinner table had some rather unfortunate people at it :(



Sooooooooo glad Shoop was there!!! Dinner would have SUCKED without you baby!!!!



They had a really cool laser shooting images onto the ceiling... this is a flying bird I think.... but its a moving image, so kind of difficult to see in this photo perhaps.



These are the other tables of people eating under the wings of planes.... cool experience.



hehe the menu and place setting... yup getting bored...



hehe Shoop is getting angry!!! WILLLLY!!!!!!



hehe planes are cool.



ohhh look Kosher wine :)



The wine was from Gaililee... which excites Shoop...



After dinner, the Rock 'n Roll Dance Club did a routine for us.



they were really impressive!!



wow this girl looks either happy... or hungry.... she's a biter hahaha



here is one way to snap your neck in half... don't drop her!!!



hehe he looks like he is just carrying her on his shoulder.



Yes these are real girls... AHHH scary!!



hehe nope they didn't kiss... but it looks like they are about to.



hehe what happens if one of her legs gets caught??



ohhh cartwheel over his legs...



and handstand on his shoulders.



hehe what is this?? a fore-arm-stand?



is it a girl?? is it a plane??? noooo its super elmo!!



hehe they were AMAZING!!!



Then the dancers taught us how to do some of their moves... and Shoop actually works in lab with one of the dancers... so here she is learning the dance.



Ohhhh nice work.



uh oh... they started running away to the center of the crowd.



Then Shoop's friend taught me the dance.



ohhhh I get it now!!!

The President of J-Soc, with ummm his girl I guess?
