How to get your honey

BAILA LAZARUS EDITOR

The next Michael and Rory Present party takes place at the end of August, celebrating the end of summer and Rosh Hashanah at the same time. Organizers Michael Horowitz and Rory Richards expect more than 300 people to show up to the ROSH – C'mon and Get Your Honey event.

Party-goers can expect hopping music, drinks, dancing, shmoozing, a disco hour, a special surprise at midnight, along with apple and honey martinis.

"The demand is still there," said Horowitz. "People crave the opportunity to socialize with new faces. We've been receiving calls and e-mails for when the next party was going to be almost immediately after Club Schmooze."

Club Schmooze was Richards' and Horowitz's latest party extravaganza, which took place in May. The two organizers are also responsible for the success of Jewish Love Potion and Aviva Las Vegas.

"This is the first time Rory and I have combined one of our dance parties with a Jewish holiday," continued Horowitz. "It's a unique way of celebrating the end of the summer."

Richards added that the momentum of the first party has continued to grow and now people are expecting big things from the pair.

"The impact our parties have had on the under-40 community is more than we expected and the demand for Michael and I to organize more events has been strong," said Richards. "By throwing these parties Michael and I are committing to keeping this community fresh and on their toes."

The buzz about the success of the Michael and Rory parties has travelled south to Seattle, Richards added.

"We have had several groups of young Jews come up from Seattle to attend our last two parties and they all returned raving to their friends there. It looks like there will be a lot more people driving up from Seattle to attend the Rosh party. This is very exciting for the Vancouver singles scene."

The ROSH – C'mon and Get Your Honey bash takes place Saturday, Aug. 31, at Vertical Lounge, 3116 West Broadway, 9 p.m. Entry is $15. For more information, e-mail [email protected]."
