Good morning everyone ... I can’t say “Good Morning Sunshine” because it is gloomy and nasty at 8:30am this morning in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.
It is supposed to continue for the rest of the day/night. Damn, because Billi Pod has a game this afternoon at Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed And Ego Built.
More details about that in a bit ... first let me share with you yesterday’s awesome doubleheader ... beginning with the two Fringe Festival shows ...
Billi Pod will use only 3 grades for his Fringe Festival shows:
G==>for good;
B==>for bad; and
?==>for “I have no f**king clue.”
KILLING JOHN GRISHAM==>G<==funny and well acted.
FLACCID PENIS SEEKS VAGINAL DRYNESS==>G<==funny and very profane.
The first show was over a little after 4:00. What was Billi Pod to do with the time until his 8:30 show? Head back to PHC, take in a movie, or just walk-and-wander in The Lower Eastside?
Well, my loyal and faithful readers, he opted to just walk-and-wander largely because the weather was nice and he felt in the mood to just ... do it ... so ...
Yes, the ensuing 4 1/2 hours was spent walking around the East Village and The Lower Eastside while listening to the YANKEES/TAMPA BAY game on his trusty Walkman.
As you know, The Yankees kicked butt, winning 9-2 behind 6 strong innings from Phil Hughes and 6 RBIs from Jorge Posada, including a grand slam. Way to go Phil and Jorge.
Anyway ... I hadn’t spent any time down in The Lower Eastside since John Scott Reed left that ‘hood 2 years ago to take up residence in Chelsea.
As you know, JSR now lives somewhere in the vast wilderness known as Brooklyn, or so he claims.
Billi Pod was surprised how easily and quickly the time went by. The LES looks and feels miles and miles away from Midtown, that is for certain. Did make two so-called pit stops, one for a slice of pizza and the other for coffee and something sweet.
It was 10:30pm when I got back to PHC following my show and I have to admit that I felt just a bit tired. I am going to estimate the total mileage on this walk-and-wander adventure was at least 5+ miles, probably more. It was an outstandingly awesome day/evening, that is for certain.
God, I love living here!!
Today is yet another entertainment doubleheader for Billi Pod ...
1:05==>YANKEES/TAMPA BAY @ Yankee Stadium with who else but ... tada ... AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi on the mound.
Why me God? Why? Why does Loser Boi always pitch when Billi Pod is in the Stadium? Why? OMFG!! Why??
Oh, I need to correct a stat mistake in yesterday’s posting ... Friday’s game was Billi Pod’s 30th game and their record is: 15 wins and 15 losses.
Tonight is ...
8:00==>ONE, TWO, WHATEVER YOU DO ... “With her son off to preschool, it's time for Angela to get a job. But things spin out of control after one teensy fib makes the news. Will she ever fess up? Can she keep her mother away? And what's wrong with Owen? A fast paced comedy about a public face and the cost of keeping it well made up.” (Fringe Festival - $9.00 TDF ticket)
Well, it is now 11:00am and the rain has stopped but it still looks nasty out there. Will they get the game in? Probably. Will Billi Pod head out to the stadium, even though his seat is in an unprotected area? Of course, you already knew the answer to that ... so ...
GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
