Partying 101 - step two
Have some fun and see who you've been missing.
BAILA LAZARUS EDITOR
So, you think you've met everyone in the B.C. Jewish community?
Well, you haven't met Aviva.... So goes, more or less, the curious
attention-grabber (as if the image alone were not enough) meant
to draw people to Aviva Las Vegas, March 10, the next scheduled
event from Rory Richards and Michael Horowitz of Jewish Love Potion
renown.
That line, Richards explains, has relevance in the Jewish community.
"People in the city are bored with what is being offered to
them socially. They think they have met everyone. Well they haven't,"
said Richards. "Just when it seems like there is one degree
of separation in this city, we will show them that there are actually
three or four."
Richards and Horowitz met with success with Love Potion, when several
hundred people showed up at the Media Club Feb. 9. Now they're continuing
their interest in bringing Jewish singles together with a series
of Aviva Las Vegas parties.
"Both Michael and I feel it's important to bring Jewish people
together without having an agenda - aside from having a fabulous
time of course," said Richards. "What has become very
obvious is that with such a small Jewish community here in Vancouver,
in order to have a really great party, everyone has to come out,
bring their friends and have a great time!"
Richards and Horowitz hope a regular following will ensue, with
people knowing there will be a place they can go once every couple
of months to kick back in a party atmosphere and meet like-minded
members of the community. Richards also feels that they have hit
on a need in the community that has not been addressed.
"Vancouver's Jewish community is not as small as most think
it is," she said. "The problem is that it is spread out,
fragmented and new faces are sometimes hard to come by. When something
unique and different is presented, as in Jewish Love Potion, it
becomes clear that our community has a strong pulse and is craving
more."
Aviva Las Vegas takes place March 10, 8 p.m., at Bar None, 1222
Hamilton. Cost of entry is $15. Part of the proceeds will go to
the Jewish Family Service Agency. Bar None, which is owned by three
members of the Jewish community, has a history of great Jewish parties,
said Richards. Live music will be provided by Dubfreque. Party-goers
can also expect some impromptu comedy and musical performances from
the Jewish community, as well as unique digital imagery for ambiance.
Although the party is mainly for the 25-40 age group, those younger
and older are welcome. And for those wondering, Aviva Las Vegas
is a real person and she will be at the party, Richard assured the
Bulletin. After March 10, the next party will take place
on the long weekend, May 17. For more information, e-mail [email protected]
