Good afternoon my loyal and faithful readers. It is another bright but cold day in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.
Had a great dinner last night with Scott Reed at La Carbonara, an Italian restaurant in Chelsea.
I was in the mood for Italian and the food was excellent. Scott and I got caught up on things and stuff.
I am most happy to report that his 87yo Grandmother had a successful surgery yesterday and is now in the recovery process. Awesome!!
Scott has been deeply involved in booking celebrity talent for The Red Dress Show, the first show of the Mercedes Benz Fashion week, at Lincoln Center.
The event supports The Heart Truth foundation which raises awareness of heart disease in women.
It will be carried live online on CBS on Wednesday @ 7:00pm. This is the website to watch it:

WAY TO GO SCOTT!!
Billi Pod’s entertainment event for tonight is --
8:00==>THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST - “A revival of Oscar Wilde's comedic masterpiece about class, courtship, good old-fashioned name-dropping, epigrams, mistaken identity, cucumber sandwiches and English breakfast tea. (Broadway - Roundabout Theater Subscription Series).
This show has received very favorable reviews and I am looking forward to seeing it.
Speaking of reviews==>the major New York area theater critics broke with tradition and have been filing reviews of the much-delayed SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK. It is an unwritten rule that critics do not review previews, but in this instance the show has already had about 65 performances and the opening date has been reset to March 15th, so all of the major critics filed their reviews today and ... man ... every one of them eviscerated the show, and that is putting it mildly.
Yet, and a big yet ... in the past week’s grosses the show ranked #1, taking in $1,297,283 and beating out WICKED. Go figure!!
So on that dramatic note I will close with ...
Musings from THE MIND OF BILLI POD (a memoir in progress):
“Spacemen usually take up too much space even though they don’t mean to.”
GO GATORS AND GO YANKEES!!
