The Shadow Box Was Excellent - Happy Birthday David Huddleston!!

Good morning everyone out there in the vastness of cyberspace. Well, it was only 51º @ 8:30am in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World - I guess summer is officially gone.


Let’s begin with Billi Pod’s report card on ...


THE SHADOW BOX==>A<==Fine acting and staging even though in a very small space with only about 50 seats.


The role of The Interviewer was played by a woman with a Mideast accent. She was on stage but always in the shadows.


The final scene is one of the most difficult I was ever involved with because all of the characters are on stage, speaking rapidly in no discernible order. You screw up and the whole scene comes crashing down around you.


Yes, the story line still packs a punch and I highly recommend this show, so catch it if you can.

Last night the Yankees lost 5-4 in the bottom of the 9th. CC had only a so-so outing but he didn’t get the loss, the bullpen did. The FuckSox broke their slide by beating The Rays. Damn!!


I listened to the final inning while walking back to PHC after my show.


This afternoon Bartolo Colon will be on the mound for The Bronx Bombers. A-Rod is still out of the lineup as a result of a thumb injury.


What else about today you are no doubt breathlessly asking? Well ... here goes ...


This afternoon @ 3:30pm==>GATORS/VOLS at The Swamp, carried on CBS.


Yes ... it is now time to finally see what kind of team our new coach has built. Our first two wins were over Palm Beach High School and Arcadia High School, so that has given only a slight hint on what we can expect for the rest of the schedule.


We are favored by 9 1/2 points but my gut tell me it will be a much closer game than that. We have basically owned The Vols over the past several years and Billi Pod thinks that the “revenge-factor” might come into play.


HELP!!==>Billi Pod is in a quandary over the ‘Noles/Sooners game at 8:00pm because his Inner Gator wants both teams to get their lousy asses beaten. I mean, he doesn’t like Oklahoma and yet, how can a true Gator ever ... ever ... pull for the Semi-holes, regardless of who they are playing? How??


Anyway ... moving on ...


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


8:00==>THE LEMON SKY - “Keith Nobbs leads the cast in the late Lanford Wilson’s autobiographical inspired 1970s drama about a gay teenager who goes to live with his estranged father’s second family.” (Off Broadway - discounted TDF ticket).


I really like Keith Nobbs. He is coming off a stellar performance in the Broadway production of “Lombardi.”


This is playing at a theater on my block.


I will close with a big shout-out to my dear friend DAVID HUDDLESTON, the actor, who turns 81 today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!!!


Please give Miss Sarah a hug from Billi Pod.


GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
