You know, I don't get it. Since when are you not allowed to ask a Chinese man where a Chinese restaurant is? I mean, aren't we getting a little too sensitive here? If someone asks me, "which direction is Israel," I don't go flying off the handle.

2 and 1/2 French!

Well folks, my dream has finally come true.

I'm a rock star.

Yea, that's right. I'm in a real-life, hard-rockin', chick-gettin', envy-inspirin' rock and roll band. We're called "2 and 1/2 French." The band members include: me, and my two roommates. They're French. I'm half-French. I came up with the name. A stroke of genius, I know.

Anyways, 2 and 1/2 French had its debut performance a few weeks ago and we blew away the competition. We're still working on original material, so we did a cover of Outkast's "Hey Ya!" I don't want to sound arrogant or anything, but we were amazing. Now, as an official rock and roll star, there is a certain latitude afforded to me for arrogance. Therefore, the truth is: we were the best. Point blank.


Getting ready for our debut performance. Notice the
skull caps and white shirts. In the music business, we
call this: "looking damn good."


Where did we play, you ask? Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem? Ramat Gan Stadium? Not even close. For our debut performance, we chose a very intimate setting; one that would get us the spotlight we so richly deserve: the Rothberg International School Talent Show.




The crowd was estimated at about 150, although those are the figures provided by local law enforcement. I thought the size of the crowd was more in the 50,000-range. Although I could be wrong; frankly I couldn't tell...the spotlight on us was too strong. You could say the spotlight was blinding.



At this point in the performance, no one in the crowd
knew the greatness that stood before them. But as soon
as those first few lyrics came out: "1-2-3. My baby don't mess
around cause she loves me so and this I know fo' sho...",
everyone knew.


Anyways, 2 and 1/2 French is getting ready to go on tour so if anyone out there wants to sign us to a lucrative, multi-million dollar contract, I suggest you do so immediately. Talent like this doesn't come around very often.

Until next time, keep on rockin'...
