Shmingles and shmusic - you heard it here first!

Tonight I went to a brilliantly organized fundraiser for the victims of the Tsunami in Asia.

Unfortunately the organizers decided to mix the evening with a "shmingles" event. Shmingles for those that don't know - is an extremely naf, stupid, idiotic term for Shmoozing Singles. The night was lots of fun, a little crowded, a little cold and very smelly (I had a seat in front of the toilet door).

It would have been nice to hear more of some of the better performances - Elisheva with the soulful (Joni Mitchell) voice or Bradley Fish with his funny Jerusalem Singles songs. My all-time favorite Sweaty Confetti with Danny and Jane (I love you Janey).

As for the rest... well... lets just call it shmusic :)
