Billi Pod Reports On John Scott Reed

It is freezing cold in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World==>23º at 8:00am this morning. Fortunately, no snow accumulation.


Mayor Mike had the City in a 100% disaster response mode, like it should have been two weeks ago. Face it, Mike, the first goof up made you look incompetent while this reaction just made you look unrealistic. You lost the public’s confidence big time in both instances. Sorry, but the truth hurts sometimes.


Anyway, Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s JOHN FAUSTUS AND THE OVERCLOCKED DEATH DRIVE==>B+<==really different and very interesting.


The young ensemble cast does a great job and the multimedia special effects are outstanding. Its running time is 70 minutes and performances are scheduled through January 30th. I recommend it if you are in a mood for something a bit different.


Today is a doubleheader for Billi Pod --


11:00am (yes, that is the correct time)==>YOU SAY TOMATO, I SAY SHUT UP-“a real-life married couple takes a comedic look back at their years together as they navigated the conflicts that come with romance, money, and children.” (complimentary ticket)


8:00pm==>NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC @ Lincoln Center-works by Ads, Mozart and Mahler. (discounted TDF ticket).


Between these two events I will come back to my warm and cozy 41st floor apartment aka PHC and work on transferring data from my iBook and my old iMac to my new and state-of-the-art 21.5” iMac.


Will also spend time in front of the tube watching football.


OK, my loyal and faithful readers, I can now fill you in on what is happening to John Scott Reed==>effective January 3rd he became Director of Operations & Executive Assistant to the CEO, Lori Levine, of Flying Television, a talent booking and brokering firm, with offices located in Chelsea. Basically they facilitate the connection between corporate-sponsored events and A-list celebrities.


Yes, I totally agree==>WOW!! How did this young Lakeland transplant land this type of job, you are no doubt breathlessly asking?” Well, it was through connections, his earned reputation for handling large amounts of pressure and his ability to comfortably interact with just about anyone. He is a people person in a people-driven business.


I am so happy for him and excited about this new career path. I know he will do well.


On this positive and happy note Billi Pod has to head out for his 11:00am show, so ...


Musings from THE MIND OF BILLI POD (a memoir in progress):


“The Iceman Cometh” was originally the title of a porn movie.


GO GATORS AND GO YANKEES!!
