was going to a singles event,
hoping that he had a good time
and someone found him as in-
teresting and attractive as she
does. When he got home, she
could see on his face that some-
one had hurt him. Next time you
decide that someone's not cool
enough for you, remember that
he's some mother's son."
Popularity, trendiness, know-
ing how to be cool all the time
does not get you far. It gets you
noticed, but it doesn't say a
damn thing about who you are
or where your life will end up.
The people who attended
Weekend in the Windy City
were by-and-large quality Jew-
ish singles with dynamic careers
and dynamic personalities. I
have a lot of respect and admi-
ration for individuals who will
shell out nearly $400 plus trans-
portation costs to position them-
selves to meet a Jewish partner.
A guy from Florida brought
Jenga, that game of TV com-
mercial fame where you stack
little wooden pieces one on top
of another, until it all falls down.
He was not gorgeous, but not
ugly, and was one of the most
outgoing people I've ever met. A
friendly guy, he had a constant, —\
bright smile.
But because of that game,
people took to avoiding him, in
fear that he would pull out Jen-
ga and start up another round
right in front of our eyes. A fair
response? No way.
Mr. Jenga turned out to be
the most talented dancer at the
party Saturday night. A dy-
namic guy, who — because of
Jenga — knew better than the
rest of us how to break the ice
and get people together.
I think he should lead the
next singles conference.
See, we're all guilty of pre-
judging people based on noth-
ing. Based on our own
weaknesses and insecurities.
When I told my mother about
the conference, she replied,
"Who is really gorgeous? No one.
And the people we point to as
`gorgeous' are usually movie
stars who have been profession-
ally done up and then the film
has been airbrushed on top of
that." Right.
Weekend in the Windy City,
the first-time Midwest Jewish
singles conference jointly spon-
sored by the Jewish community
centers of St. Louis, Chicago,
Milw:lukee and Indianapolis,
was wildly successful. It sold out.
Rumor had it that although our
floor Of the Odyssey cruise ship
was full, singles paid to get on
another floor of the ship and
sneak down to our party.
Next time you shrug off a sin-
gles conference because, like me,
you assume it'll be too dorky for
you, think again. And, by the
way, I met a really cute guy this
weekend ... Hey, you never
know. 0
