The blog buzz has begun about the Israelity Tour. And you know how these things go...they spread like wildblogfire.
First there was this blog, of course. Then Jewlicious. Now two Bay Area blogs, Oy-Bay and CBDYAG (Congregation Beth David Young Adult Group), have posted about our upcoming tour.
In Seattle, where we're due to kick off the tour in one short week (!!) on February 6, they've announced our arrival on Jew-ish, a blog for young Jews in that area.

Coolooloosh Hits New York City
Last night, a few of us attended Coolooloosh's first New York appearance in years, held at the newly refurbished downtown space now known as DromNYC. In fact, says lead singer Rebel Sun, in the last eight years, the closest he's gotten to America, period, was Europe. "And that's not America," he said definitively in the middle of the band's set.
Well, Coolooloosh is definitely going to be touring America, on the West Coast with the Israelity Tour, and beyond. Learn more about Coolooloosh here.

Resistance is Futile: Join the Israelity Tour (Online and Off)
For the last few months, we've been carefully planning and putting all the details in place for the first-ever Israelity Tour, bringing the best of Israeli culture to the West Coast.
In this space, we'll be posting updates and information about venues, recaps of concerts and on-campus programs (mifgashim, in which young adults will have a chance to get to know Israelity's "cast members" in person), as well as photos and videos that will bring you into the heart of the tour.
We'll show you what it's like to go on tour with Subliminal
and the T.A.C.T. Family; how reggae, funk and hip-hop unite in the music of Coolooloosh; and explore music's pensive heart with Michelle Citrin. We'll take you to West Coast campuses and explore Jewish life with young Jews--some of them Birthright alumni, some of them already registered for trips in the near future, and others who feel a kinship with the land of Israel, its culture and its people.
If you're on the West Coast, come to the concerts or the mifgashim (see here for a complete list). If you're somewhere else, follow along with us online as we post from the road.
Got questions? Visit our FAQ page to learn all about the Israelity Tour.
Stay tuned to this blog, and visit our links in the sidebar. Send us your feedback, and if you're a West Coaster, come on by to the Birthright Israel website and order your tickets now!!
Don't miss your chance to be part of the action! Because remember: it's all about the music...
