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 AWESOME video

Mordechai Shenker has outdone himself! This is a takeoff on the Nageelastrong video we had this summer, but much, much cooler.

My opinion, best Nageela movie ever!

Oy Veygas!

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

more old pics...

I gets the havdalah candle. Don't ask me why...

This one's from 2005

Back when Shorties were Shorties


I came across a batch of really old Nageela pictures on my hard drive, so I'll look through them and post any that aren't too traumatic for ye' average folks to see.

Here's one of Shorty (before he was Rabbi Shorty) back in 202!

Whoaaa, look at those biceps, Azi.

I blew it way up, and I DIDN'T SEE A SINGLE MOSQUITO!

Good day to bring out the kiddie pool in the back yard. No, no, not for the kiddies...

Thank goodness, Randolph, Utah is nice and cool!

Nageela Idol 06 Remix

Here's a serious blast from the past!

I was going through an old backup CD and I found a few great videos including this one:
Remix from Nageela Idol '06, featuring such all time greats as
Jeff Weisz on the yoyo
Goob blowing up his head
Jacob Smalkin folding his underwear
Simi Moskowitz's crazy bike jumps
Scott as Simon
Me as Randy? You gotta be kidding!
Matthew Wexler, who stole the 1st place vote with his performance of 'blowing in the wind',
and the first ever Nageela edition of Sam Lipke clapping a song!


the BIG Shabbaton

SO you all know that this week was the BIG Shabbaton in Long Island. In fact, I think it was the BIGgest Shabbaton in JEPLI's history.
I want to hear from participants. How was it? Who was there? Who wasn't (besides me)?
What was the best part?

I often come here to learn or meet with people.

I've been here today for the past 6 and a half hours.

WAYYYY TOOOO MUCHHH CAFFFEEEIIINNNE!

someone get me some good old mountain dew!

New logo idea

This obviously would only work for NageelaWest. Here's what happened. I was listening to the radio in my car, and as a West coast community, they had the Lakers playoff game on. They are playing the Jazz... lightbulb!

Whadya think? Should I use it over gatorade or the PS3 logo?


Here's the big question- it's a great logo and all, but I still have to get the words 'camp nageela west' somewhere on the shirt. Any ideas on how to make it work?

NEW NAGEELA BASED WEBSITE

In a collaborative effort between the head counselors of the 3 Nageela branches (East, Midwest, West) we have launched a blog/site dedicated to one of Nageela's all time favorite topics- CHOLENT!

It is still a work in progress, but you can check it out at www.thecholentbowl..com

Cholent Tributes

Camp Nageela owes much of its culture to that wonderful staple of Jewish gastronomic phenomena called cholent.
We are in the process of developing a new site dedicated to the wonders of cholent, both in the serious, and in the humorous worlds. So:
1. I challenge you to write poetry declaring your love for cholent or describing its many attributes and accomplishments
2. If you have a good cholent recipe, or cholent cooking/ serving tip, send that in too.

The best ones will be published.
You can email them to dani@jepli.org, lockeroom@gmail.com, rabbilocker@lasvegaskollel.org, dani@campnageela.org, info@nageelawest.org, dlocker@nageelawest.org... the possibilities are endless!

Thursday, April 22, 2010

Just got back from the nageela conference. I'll tell you all about it some other time, but as far as logos go, most of the ppl there seemed 2 like the gatorade best

A rough idea




Here's an updated version.
Props to Corky for the idea!

Please comment if you have any changes that need 2 b made.

A rough idea

I will, of course, make adjustments to the design.
Props to Corky for the idea!
It's that time of year again!!!

We need your ideas. Please tell me anything you got for logos.

compromise

Someone suggested that I compromise between the two logos. Please give feedback

JUst to Drive Azi nuts



because there is NO WAY I'm really using this

Skype logo idea

Here's another one




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.
