Billi Pod Says==>March 2011 Was AWESOME!!

OK, my loyal and faithful readers here are Billi Pod’s awesome entertainment stats for March 2011 --

In checking my daily log (log, not diary - real guys don’t keep diaries) I find that during the month of March 2011 Billi Pod did/saw/attended the following --

11 Broadway shows (Rain - A Tribute to Beatles on Broadway; Arcadia; Million Dollar Quartet; How To Succeed At Business Without Really Trying; Priscilla Queen Of The Desert; The Book Of Mormon; The Motherf**ker With The Hat; Bengal Tiger At The Baghdad Zoo; Wonderland; Catch Me If You Can; and, Born Yesterday); 22 Off Broadway shows; 8 Classical music concerts (3 with the New York Philharmonic); and, 1 Yankee baseball game (Opening Day).

Yep, that is 43 entertainment events in 31 days. Included in the above are an awesome 12, yes, 12 entertainment doubleheader days.

Other highlights for the month were:

On March 18th I celebrated my 21st AA birthday; renewed my lease on PHC for 2 years, beginning June 1, 2011; visited Ben Sears and Justin Pifer in Bushwick in the outer borough of Brooklyn; and had face time with: John Scott Reed and his friends Rachel Newell and Remoy Philip; and, John McDaniel.

In summary, for the month Billi Pod attended some entertainment event every day/night in the month despite the nasty month-long weather ==>f-ing AWESOME, IMHO, but then ...

I only report - you decide.

On to other things and stuff --

Yankees pitching tanked yesterday in the 7-10 loss to the Tigers. Weather was better but still very cold and windy. I stayed 'til the bitter end, of course. In the 7th inning I left my seat, which was in the shade the whole game, and stood in the right field bleacher area, in the sun, for the remainder of the game. How was I able to do this for this game and not for Opening Day? Well, because none of my regular buds were at this game.

You know an insane stat? At the beginning of this season, starting with March 31 thru April 30, the Yankees have 19 home games, or 23% of their season games at the stadium, and this at a time when the weather is at its worst. WTF MLB?

Billi Pod’s basketball prediction==>Butler wins 86-82. Do I care? Not really. I will only watch the last 5 minutes of the game, which starts at the ridiculous time of 9:30pm.

Today will be my usual errands and stuff and then tonight’s entertainment event ..

8:00==>HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES - “A dark comedy about American dreamers in Sunnyside, Queens. The play takes place in 1965, on the day Pope Paul VI visited New York City, and features nuns, a political bombing, a GI headed for Vietnam, a zookeeper who dreams of making it big in Hollywood as a songwriter, his schizophrenic wife and his girlfriend.” (Broadway - discounted TDF ticket).

Starring are Ben Stiller and Edie Falco. This is the first preview performance. It is scheduled for a limited 16 week run, and, of course, has the dreaded phrase “dark comedy.”

OK, now it’s time to begin doing things and stuff so ...

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
