Oh what a night! Combine some of the best music you've ever heard, all of your closest friends, great conversation, and an amazing vibe. Now imagine all of these elements converging at your house! For me this is more than a miraculous daydream, but the reality of Moishe House SF's 2007 Apples and Honey shindig.
For the second straight year my good friend, Brandeis (day school) alum, and internationally known DJ, Teeko, rocked the house for more than 5 hours. Teeko (known as Shimon to me), besides being a fabulous musician, has been one of my closest friends for over 20 years. In addition to being the musical accompaniment to multiple parties, Shimon has also been involved in softball and a number of other activities. But as music is his first passion, there is something incredibly special to me about seeing him in his element contributing to the growth and happiness of the Moishe community. Aside from my own personal gratification, the dance floor (dining room) was packed, the dance moves electric, and the neighbors, thankfully, accommodating.
The high I've been on in the week and half since it all transpired has been just as fantastic as the event itself. For the second consecutive year our house was left messy, but, surprisingly, nothing broken, destroyed or covered in the evidence of alcohol poisoning (the most delicate wording I could come up with). Everyone I came into contact with was so overwhelmingly appreciative to us for hosting such a joyous and welcoming event. To see the smiles is one thing, but for people to go out of their way to thank the hosts gave me a great warm feeling. A feeling I will carry with me right into next years Apples and Honey party. Can't wait!
