Christmas!

Hey guys,

Just want to say what a great job you guys did singing the carols, A+++ effort! I was very impressed! Special mentions to Nat and Steve for their contributions, and thanks to leaders for organisation.

I hope you guys have an absolutely fabulous Christmas, and January holidays (if you get them!), I will miss you all while I am in Vanuatu! Let's try to remember what Christmas is all about; celebrating the birth of Jesus and the way that He lived His life for others.

Take care of yourselves til Feb,
God bless, awesome people,

Shalom,

Ali

3 weeks @ IC

Hey everyone,

Its been quite a while I guess since anyone has posted anything relating to the awesome nights that we had at Insano Cafonkey...i guess everyone has been busy, or has as bad a memory as me :P So anyways, in a small effort to revive this place, I guess I'll do a review on one or maybe more of the events that have happened in the last 3 weeks...


Most recently, being last week, we had an absolutely awesome formal "masquerade ball" night, which had some dancing, but not a lot...there was the Macarena, and we all got involved to do the grapevine, a fantastically fun traditional Jewish folk dance...other than that there was some decent enough music, snacks and lots of relaxed socialising, as much as you can have while being so dressed up.
Near the end of the night, there were some awards given out, best dancing i think which was won by Jill Hough, best mask won by Sam Pratt and "I made my dress while cleaning the house" best woman award which was won by Rachael Payne. Steve Poole got the "may I open the door for you" gentleman's award. There was also a "best worst dressed" award, which luckily nobody won.
Sooner or later, I think that I'll add some photos I took from the night...but maybe not just yet

Hmm...The week before that we had a drama night which was mostly hosted by Ryan, but there was a totally dismal turn out of the leaders, which they claim was because they were all going to some formal or debutante ball or some other excuse :P Well, that night we were all split into different groups and each group had to do a modern/adapted version of a specific fairy tale...that was interesting, there were lots of good stories that came out of that.

The week before that we had some sort of "murder mystery" night, where we started by playing some games and then got to the murder. Stanley whatever-his-surname-was had been killed on his wedding day, and everybody played characters that were at the ceremony. There was quite a bit of cross-genderal role-playing, which was quite funny and fun, and all the 'interviews' were just made up on the spot. In the end, we all decided who the killer was, and we found out we were right, something about a father with mob connections who didn't approve of his son or something

anyways, these are my memories of the nights, feel free to add your own bits & pieces to the mess
