Yesterday’s Doubleheader Was 50:50

Yesterday’s Fringe Festival doubleheader was a break-even entertainment day/evening for Billi Pod as revealed by his report cards (remember the grading system: G for Good; B for Bad: and ? for “I have no f**king clue”) ...


THE STAR DEBATE: TREK VS. WARS==>B<==acting at High School level, at best. One of the lead characters kept butchering his lines. Worse than that, however, was the fact that it was just boring and not funny.


THE MORE LOVING ONE==>G<==outstanding cast. Funny but also very thought-provoking. What does “love” really mean? The full-house was very much into the show.


Billi Pod had a bit more time between shows than originally reported. He spent some of it just chilling in Washington Square Park and then at a nice coffee shop where he had ... tada .. coffee and something sweet.

After the second show he came back to PHC and settled in to watch the YANKEES/KANSAS CITY game, which the Yankees lost 5-4. The umps blew a call on a drive that should have been ruled a double, rather than a home run. But, despite the botched call, the Yankees blew multiple chances to score runs with men on base.


Kinda bad news==>A-Rod not yet ready to return to the lineup. Damn!!


Tonight will be the first of a four game series in Minnesota against the Twins. CC Sabathia will be on the mound, hopefully leaving behind his two recent lackluster performances.


Billi Pod has another Fringe Festival doubleheader scheduled for today ...


3:45==>THE MISS TEEN JESUS PAGEANT - “Two gay fathers stage and rig a church-sponsored beauty contest to ensure that their daughter will be crowned the first Miss Teen Jesus. Mayhem ensues as additional contestants enter.” (Fringe Festival - $9.00 TDF ticket)


When this show is over Billi Pod will have about an hour to make it to his second show ...

7:00==>BOOKS ON TAPE - “A comedy about an avid books-on-tape listener, a voice over artist, a self-help guru and a minister of a new religion, each seeking meaning in the coincidences of New York City.” (Fringe Festival - $9.00 TDF ticket).


GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
