Dear NY Metro friends, Norooz shadbash again, This is a gentle reminder of our annual potluck picnic gathering for Sizdeh Bedar (April fool's day) in the horseshoe courtyard to the right of the main lodge at Bear Mountain State Park on Sunday April 2. For those would kindly consider arriving early in the morning, possibly like 10:00 or am, please place a bunch of items on the picnic benches underneath the roofed open circle there and put a couple of signs that read PERSIAN PICNIC. It would be great if a few could bring in CDs with powerful PA system..... also, bring your own grill if needed. and lastly, please spread out this announcement via email and phone or in person to your circle of friends.... Yours truly, Davood Rahni p.s. I did apply and secured in writing a permit from the Park Commissioner for our annual gathering. It still is on a first come, first served basis. directions: If you looked at google earth or yahoo.com there is bridge called Bear Mountain Bridge on the Hudson south of West Point Military Academy, and perhaps 30 miles north of Tappan zee Bridge and 45-50 miles north of GW Bridge. This Bear Mountain State Park is along route US 9W two minutes south of Bear mountain bridge circle next to its toll. My phone as the last resort is 914 773 3655.

05:00 PM » David and Layla, Philadelphia International Film Festiva
Where: The Cinema at Penn, Philadelphia
Philadelphia Premier of a 107-min film: “A brave & fabulous political comedy about the sparks that fly when a Jew and a Muslim fall in love in New York!
Layla is played by Hollywood Persian American actress Shiva Rose. David is played by David Moscow, child star of Tom Hanks' 'Big'- who last played against Jessica Alba in 'Honey.'
Independent film critic Joe Baltake writes:
"This new comedy about young loves and the large ethnic families - on both sides - that stand between them could have been just another My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but its originality and insight set it apart.
This outright charmer by Jay Jonroy has the potential of being a broad crowd-pleaser, along the lines of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Only David and Layla is a superior variation on that film, with unexpected insights and a tough shell that protects its big, mushy heart. The sitcom contours of this film are impressively balanced by the director’s rapid-fire pacing and sense of place - New York, presented here as a genuine polyglot culture -, as well as the witty but realistic dialogue, and the accomplished performances...Shiva Rose as Layla - wife of actor Dylan McDermott - is at once sexy and sweet. This is an affectionate, likeable film that offers the rare gift of insight. (English, minimal Hebrew, Kurdish, Arabic with English subtitles.)
