Dozens of local residents attended the free EDM concert the Town of Hempstead sponsored at Echo Park last Tuesday.

Dressed in bright colors and armed with glow sticks, attendees of all ages enjoyed the electronic tunes of brothers Elias, 27, and George Costidis, 28, who perform under the name SadBois.

Connor Dennelly and Craig “CJ the DJ” Ulmschneider, friends of the Costidis brothers, spun music to warm the crowd up before the SadBois took the stage.

“That night was truly a night that we’ll never forget,” the SadBois wrote the Herald in a statement. “Seeing ravers of all ages come together as a community to sing their hearts out and dance the night away with us was so special.”

The Four Types of Attorneys (And Why Knowing Yours Changes Everything)

Picture this: It's 11 PM the night before trial. Are you buried in research? Reviewing strategic contingencies? Getting rest to stay sharp? Or perfecting your opening story? It’s certainly no secret that attorneys approach their work differently, but these differences have rarely been described systematically. Steno has developed the Attorney Work Styles framework to help attorneys understand how they naturally process information, respond to pressure and execute their work. The result is better individual performance and smoother collaboration.

Trust the Innovator Not the Imitator: Why Nassau County Homeowners Should Choose Maidenbaum

Nassau County homeowners are bracing for rising taxes and unexpected expenses that always seem to pile up. Luckily, they can authorize Maidenbaum to file their property tax grievance for the 2027/28 tax year. Acting early makes all the difference, because waiting too long could mean missing opportunities, or worse, ending up with a company that doesn’t have the experience to represent you properly. Don’t let misleading promises impact your results – if something seems too good to be true, it usually is!
