FOURTEEN FLIGHTS==>Excellent!!

Last night’s FOURTEEN FLIGHTS was an excellent theater evening, with a thought-provoking story line and brilliant, and I mean brilliant, acting.


Two airline pilots have a near-death flight experience (for themselves; thirteen passengers will die) . How they deal with it involves the questions of survival and fate.


As I had posted yesterday, I had some serious misgivings about the show, including the running time at 2:30 with an intermission. Well, I was wrong. It has 3 more performances: September 15, 16 and 18 and I highly recommend it.


Thank goodness the Yankees were playing in Seattle last night. The game started at 10:05pm EST, so Billi Pod was able to watch most of it.


The Yankees won 9-3 behind an excellent outing from Phil Hughes. The Bronx Bomber bats finally came alive. We now lead the AL East by 4 games.


Tonight AJ Barnett aka Loser Boi will be on the mound==>barf!!


Billi Pod’s entertainment event for tonight is ...

8:00==>DREAMS OF FLYING DREAMS OF FALLING - The world premiere of Adam Rapp’s visceral drama. “Dr. Bertram and Sandra Cabot invite long time friends Dirk and Celeste Von Stofenberg to their beautiful Connecticut Gold Coast home in honor of James, the Von Stofenberg’s only son, who has recently been released from an esteemed private psychiatric hospital.


The feast promises to be delicious, but soon the sky turns a strange color, Canadian geese start crashing into the bay window, and the fate of the evening tilts.” (Off Broadway - discounted TDF ticket)


Yeah, I know.


In the past most of Adam Rapp’s plays have made me want to slit my wrists or the like. It will be a love-it or hate-it evening, without a doubt.


Just got back from a useless trip out to the Stadium to exchange a ticket. I won’t bore you with the details other than to say that it was another one of those “please read the fine print” experiences.


In closing==>Billi Pod’s entertainment schedule for the upcoming 13 days is basically full. He has only 1 totally open date at the moment ... September 22nd. Wow!!


GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
