Ahhhhhhhh==>Sunday in The Big Apple

Good afternoon my loyal and faithful readers. It is Sunday and a beautiful and very brisk fall day in The Big Apple. Gonna spend the afternoon watching football and then tonight I have a show (details below).

Let me start with Billi Pod’s report cards on:

TRAILER TRASH==>C<==every gay and redneck cliché known to man and then some. I wanted to like it, but the playwright just tried to touch too many bases to make it a believable story line. And, I disliked every one of the characters. Oh well ...

Funny side story==>in the audience was a 70s+ woman who was on a walker. She had caused a scene in the theater lobby when she got into a heated argument with a much younger woman who I took to be her “companion.” The "companion” wouldn’t buy her a Snickers Bar. They shouted at each other. Everyone just looked on in bewilderment. The woman finally persuaded the guy behind the lobby bar to bring her the candy, which she wolfed down.

Inside the theater the woman was seated alone in the rear of this small Off-Off Broadway gay-themed theater. The theater was full. Once the show began she began to burp loudly and kept on burping through the entire show. At intermission she refused the plea of her “companion” to leave. The “companion” left in a snit. Burp-lady, however, remained in her seat, burping loudly. When the show was over and the theater had emptied, she was still sitting in her seat because no one would bring her the walker. Not sure what happened because I just got the Hell out of there.

One of the weirdest things I have ever witnessed in a theater audience.

SQUIRM BURPEE CIRCUS==>C<==disappointing. Cast much less talented than I expected and I am certain the so-called story line was virtually unfathomable to the vast number of young kids who were in the audience. For example, receiving telegrams is integral to the plot and I heard this kid ask: “Daddy what’s a telegram?”

Tonight’s entertainment event:

7:00==>LINGUA FRANCA-“a fast-paced sexually-charged comedy that follows innocent abroad Steven as he travels from National Service in Southeast Asia to 1950s Florence where he finds himself working for a chaotically-run language school.”

Glad that the Gators finally came alive.

Oh, the signing war between Jeter and the Yankees is heating up. Will comment on it tomorrow.

GO GATORS!!
