Rabbi Locker loses contest!

I know, I know, I never, ever, ever lose. I's just one of those things.
I've got enough material to make fun of my opponent if I wanted to... I'll concede defeat.

Camp Date Progress

Working on Camp 2011, and it seems now, that we'll be adding a few days to each session.
More NageelaWest! What more could you possibly ask for?

Stay tuned...

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN HIJACKED!

I HAVE GOOD NEWS, AND I HAVE BAD NEWS, AND I HAVE GOOD NEWS AND I HAVE BAD NEWS AND I HAVE GOOD NEWS, AND SOME MORE GOOD NEWS...

The good news is that Camp Nageela (the one on New York, the mothership, the original, the promised land, etc.) has finally gotten ITS OWN BLOG, so that Shaya and Azi can fight among themselves without bothering me! Here's the link: http://nageelaboys.blogspot.com/

The bad news is that they were sort of evicted... well, not exactly, but sort of, because...

THE GOOD NEWS is that Camp Nageela West has been an amazing success, and this blog is now the home of news jokes, updates, pictures and videos for CAMP NAGEELA WEST, which is...

BAD NEWS for me, because I enjoyed hosting all the Nageela East discussions, but it is still...

GOOD NEWS because Nageela East people are still invited here, and I'll be happy to post any info about it that you guys give me.

But the best news is for NAGEELAWEST people. Get involved, this blog is now yours! Post on the tagboard, comment on my posts, forward links to your friends! ENJOY!

New Slideshow

Take a look at the top of the blog for a slideshow of NageelaWest 2010 pictures. Click on a photo to see it full size!

Traffic

If you think traffic is bad in New York or LA, try driving through Yellowsone National Park with hundreds of Bison crossing the orad!

San Francisco

I will be in San Francisco, San Jose, Sunnyvale and Oakland over the next two days.

If you know of someone who would like a private meeting to discuss NageelaWest, please have them email info@nageelawest.org.

There will be a NageelaWest BBQ in Sunnyvale on Tueday at 6:00pm, please email for details.

New website

Camp Nageela West has made some changes to our website. In act, we've changed it completely. It's now, neater, more user friendly and informative.

check it out here.

You can also try the following links (they're the same) in honor of the NageelaWest logo.

Oy Veygas!

Good times (picture taken in 2003 at the 5 towns deli)

NageelaWest logo ideas

Here are two ideas (Okay, really just 1 idea, split into 2 possibilities) for a NageelaWest T- shirt design.

It is (obviously) based on the playstation 3 design. I think the top one is more authentic (looks like the 'S' in PS3), but is a bit harder to read.

What do you guys think?

Okay... any other ideas? I'm working on a few, but I'm open to new ideas.

NageelaWest names Girls Head counselor

We're excited to announce that the head counselor of the Camp NageelaWest girls division will be none other than Nageela veteran

Tzippy (Sherman) Holander

who brings years of experience and creativity to NageelaWest!

I saw the Signs

You gotta love Utah. There are all kinds of funny signs there. Here are a few that I saw on my recent trip (sorry, I didn't get pictures):

This handpainted sign was outside this tiny shack:

SMALLEST STORE IN UTAH

There was a progression of Xing signs that went as follows:

DEER XING

COW XING

TRUCK XING

GRANDPARENT XING

I kid you not. Utah, a truly unique place.

so true

My travels do occasionally lead me to some really interesting places.
ALong my recent journeys, upon a valiant quest to hunt down a resting place for NageelaWest, I passed through Zion National Park, one of the most beautiful sights in our USA. Especially in the snow.
Just outside of the park, literally in middle of nowhere, I found this very telling streetsign.

How apropos.

Camp Dates

Hey people. I havent heard from any of you in a while. Here's the scoop. Nageela west for boys will end a couple of day before Nageela East starts, so you can go to both. I don't want ppl to leave East to come to West, but I'd love ppl to come to both. I wouild like to get an idea on the blog if you or anyone you know is interested in that.
Please post comments. thanks.

Website

Hey guys, I know it's been a really long time since my last post. I've just been too cold to type. It reached under 80 degrees a few times. Can you believe it? Everything they call a desert nowadays. Why in my day...
Anyway, I've been working really hard on Nageelawest, and now the website is up! Not totally finished, but up. Check it out at nageelawest.org.

NageelaWest

NageelaWest is movin' along!
In a week we should have a brochure, website prices and dates.
Stay posted!
