The "Marakia." Marak means Soup. That's why I wrote (souperia). Marakia is the name of a cute little soup place in Jerusalem. They have a nice patio out back, and a piano in the tiny dining room. They serve nothing byt soup. And bread and drinks. One night I saw Bukowski playing piano there.
(the staff dances at the "Camp Dance")
At this very moment, the teens at my summer program are dancing in the Schwartz auditorium. Some of them aren't wearing too too much, but that's how they dress every day. I mean, I know that I made out with a girl and even slept in her room after the camp dance when I was 16, but... I don't think that back then we had so many songs about backing up your your ass or being a ho or, well, screwing.
Here's me, sitting on the side, taking pictures of myself with my laptop:
I'm making eyes at the laptop, not at the teenage humpfest spread out before me. What's amazing about pluralistic Jewish Community-Building (that's what I do here) is that the tall, snobby, pretty girl secular with a bad attitude ran over and grabbed the pasty, nerdy, twitchy orthodox kid the minute he ran into the room. The same kid who fearfully asked me a few hours ago if there would be mixed dancing......
Here's me an coworker Dan Held, two chubby bearded guys sitting like aged dorks with our matching MacBooks whilst the yunguns shake it.Ooh! They're playing Sir Mix-A-Lot!
Oh yeah, one more note from the H for Humanity

I prefer the more serene disc-jockying of his lesser known alternative, Sir Mix-A-Little.
I appreciate Mix-A-Little's pragmatism and moderation, as he offers up the good stuff, and, allows the records he spins to be appreciated, ever mindful to leave but a small thumb-print upon the art.
{sniff!} another witty, yet heartbreakingly anonymous comment
now you what my life is like everytime i take my youth group on a trip or to a NFTY convention. the fun of it all is to jump in the middle of the dancing circle and embarrass the youngins!
