Supporting the people of Iran is a support for human rights.

If this is filmmaking, I must be in heaven




The making of Erich's (far right) film in Pennsylvania.
Amazing friends, hard work, a lot of heart and a very respectable final product.
Great job Erich.

Shara Worden

My Brightest Diamond - Inside A Boy

Shara Worden accompanied The Decemberists at their recent performance at Radio City. Her voice, stylings, and stage presence is something unique and fascinating to behold. And in todays music industry, these are rare attributes to find in a musician. You may recognize Worden from her group My Brightest Diamond, but keep an eye (and ear) on her newest collaborations with The Decemberists and other artists like Bon Iver (link above). She is nothing short of a contemporary inspiration. TDT tips its hat to you Ms. Worden.

Fire & Ice



The classiest Hookah Establishment on Long Island (because it's the only one). Fire and Ice is more like two living rooms connected, sheet rock walls and hand painted ceiling panels add to the "dive bar" ambience. Really, it's not the nicest place. BUT, it's all we got Long Island, so enjoy. The upside? Cheap Hookah, and tastey. 8 Dollars for an approx 3 foot hookah, an extra 2 for ice, and an extra 2 for a flavor in the bottom. Personally, I save 2 bucks and just get water, but spring for the extra 2 and get the ICE (best decision). Hookah hits cold and the clouds run smooth. So next time you're bored on Long Island and sick of half price appetizers, Little Vinny's, Dollar Menus, bowling and the "nicer" movie theater that's 6 exits away... check out Fire & Ice, oh... by the way - BYOB.
