It’s been almost two weeks since I returned from a month vacation in the US (NY, Chicago, Washington and Philadelphia). I went there to visit Erin, my girlfriend, who lived at the time in Mundelein, IL. Needless to say, I had an amazing time. The privilege of taking a the time off from my regular job (and my freelance clients) was something I couldn’t take for granted.
The USA was amazing. The size of everything (Coronet Pizza in NYC), the variety of every menu, every store; the kindness of strangers (Yes, even in NYC, the politeness there blew my mind time and time again)… Every business, if it’s an NBA stadium, a museum or a simple pizza place is well thought of in terms of experience (Medieval Times in Chicago and Bill’s Pizza in Mundelein especially). Beauty and Creativity were in every corner, and even though I was with a camera all the time, I know I didn’t even capture a bit of that. Having said that, here are some pics that I did take. More pics are in my Facebook album.

From the top of the Rockefeller Center Nicest fence ever Next to Brooklyn Bridge A place we didn't go to. And kinda regret about it. Bought a pair of snickers Super-Mario made of squares of paper on Laura's apartment wall Erin in the Moma Lady Libery Me at The Bean in Chicago Brooklyn Bridge. I think... Santacon Posters I saw in the street of Brooklyn Erin in Williamsburg, NYC Another Williamsburg thing manhattan

It’s also time to thank some people who made it great, by helping me feel at home across 3 different states: Thanks Carrie (and the parents), Laura and Alex, for letting us crash. Thanks Robin, you’re a cool mom. And last but definitely not least, thank you Erin, for being the best girlfriend ever :-*

3 weeks ago (or something like that), my girlfriend Erin put some sticky gummy-like letters on my TV, spelling “I LOVE YOU”. I don’t watch TV, so I left it there.
5 days ago  she wrote the same thing in Hebrew on an A4 page, and stuck it over the old paper.
Today I wanted to watch TV.

I love her too.

For the second time, I had the chance to give a public presentation about Laaz (לעז), my website of Hebrew translations to (mostly) famous pop songs. It’s in Hebrew, so some of you will not understand, BUT if you skip to 9:30 or so, you will see me performing with the guitar 5 songs that users uploaded to laaz. Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, Queen, and two songs by The Beatles.
Have fun :)

Sort of.
YouTube added a feature that takes a look at the past year through the most popular videos on YouTube. When selecting Israel as the country and check the most watched music videos, you can see the music video I made (with Yonny Zafrani) to Od Ah Ehad (One More Brother) by Hadag Nahash. Almost 1,000,000 views. Yaaaaaa!

I was invited to talk about my website Laaz (לעז) last week, in an event called 11:11, inspired by events like TED. I had 11 minutes to talk, and I used the first 7 for talking and the rest for playing and singing a duet with my friend Aya – a cover for Elton John’s Don’t Go breaking My Heart.
It was the first time i’ve ever: gave a lecture, talked to a mic, sung on  a stage, played guitar with an amp… So I was extremely nervous, But the expirience was great, and the rest of the evening which had 10 other talks was interesting and so much fun.

* The presentation is in Hebrew, without subtitles. It will be so lost in translation… :/
