From Borat to Ballstars, Voter-Info Night to Very-fun Retreat - November marked an incredible month in the life of Isaac Zones.
Having already seen the movie in a sneak preview - I knew what my friends were in for when I rallied the troops for an incredible night of Borat. My girlfriend, Vivian, and I (picutured to left) dressed in character and my family even tagged along too. Wah Wah Wee Wah!
Days later we got the Matzah Ball Stars back together for a fun pick-up game which we are hoping to turn in to a monthly tradition until our season picks up again in the spring (eat that East Coasters - sports in the winter!). Inspired by the movie - my team's name was the "Back Pussies." In the evening we did a voter info night co-sponsored with the Progressive Jewish Alliance where we got everybody ready for the big election in California.
A few days later we had one of my favorite events yet - The Matzah Ballstars (Softball Team) awards dinner to recognize all of the great play we had this past fall. Some awards included a trophy with leather chaps on it commemorating East Bay Moishe resident - Brady Gill's invaluable contribution to the team on and off the field. I also received one of the best presents I ever could have hoped for - a sweatshirt with a ridiculous picture of myself on the back and the phrase "I love to huddle" on the front (which is true).
In addition to poker night, a dinner with we four San Fran residents and a couple of events that actually happened without us - I also participated heavily in the MH retreat in November! Beyond putting most of the food for the weekend on my credit card - I also organized a lot of the weekend and lead quite a bit of it too. The retreat got me re-energized for this project after doing Moishe House for an entire year (in Dec) and I now love my life more than ever!!
Oh...and - Boom Boom Yum Yum - represents America's approach toward foreign policy - bomb all the commies and then lick up the profits!
