Last night the University of Florida’s Hillel in association with with the Jewish Student Union and The SHPiEL, hosted PruimPalooza Volume 2 at Club XS in Gainesville.
It was a wild party with performances by local break dancing crews, the band Velveteen Pink, and our very own dj handler. The spinning was awesome and the packed house couldn’t get enough. I don’t have pictures yet but I promise that they are soon to come. Thanks so much to everyone who came out and especially to dj handler for flying all the way in from NY to party it up Gator style.
