About a thousand people came to party at the Latke Ball on December 23, 2004, packing all the rooms and "shaking their thang" to the beat of the amazing DJS who spun the best world music/Israeli/hip hop/funk/pop. Mandonna gave an excellent and outrageous performance, complete with Madonna-esque costumes. World-renowned beatboxer Kid Beyond was amazing as the emcee for the first-ever date auction at this event, which was a huge success.

The unanimous verdict on the Latke Ball? "The original, and still the best!"
