The Good, the Bad and the Ugly PURIM party

While Lee and Dave were in Southwest USA shooting skaters with cameras, I managed to put on the biggest MoHoWeHo event of the year!
Knowing that our community would need a little more motivation than just a "Purim Party", I decided to slap on a costume theme that would speak well to this film industry saturated town: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. Quite simply, dress as a movie character that fits one of those themes. The party was a huge success, with more than 50 in attendance! Everyone had a blast and by the end of the night no one knew the difference between Mordachai (GOOD) and Haman (BAD)--also relating back to our genius theme. Michael Silver clearly had the best costume with his homemade "Towelee" (South Park), and took home the prize in the good category. Even Hannah dressed up. She wore an old school Cleveland Indians jersey as Wild Thing Rick Vaughn (bad). We awarded prizes to the best costume in each category:

GOOD: Little Miss Sunshine DVD and the new Norah Jones CD.
BAD: The Departed and James Brown's 50 Greatest Funkin' Hits
UGLY: Jackass 2 and Gnarls Barkley

Make sense?

We had plenty of food and hamentashen. Instead of encouraging people to bing mishloach manot for each other, we asked that everyone bring a can of food to donate to those who aren't fortunate to have such a good time this Purim. We collected about 25 cans of food.

Thank you Moishe, especially Brady, for making this night possible for our community.
