Billi Pod will start this posting on a foggy and kinda gloomy day in The Big Apple with his entertainment stats for the month of November 2011.
If you loyal and faithful readers will take the time to stay with me during this rather long posting I think you will agree that November was another AWESOME entertainment month for Billi Pod ...
But ... it is up to you ... because ... I report - you decide.
In checking my daily log (log, not diary - real guys don’t keep diaries) I find that during the month of November 2011 Billi Pod attended/saw/did the following:
6 Broadway shows (Godspell; Lysistrata Jones; Seminar; Bonnie & Clyde; Hugh Jackman, Back On Broadway; and, An Evening With Patti Lupone and Mandy Pitinkin); 22 Off Broadway shows; 5 Classical music concerts (3 by the New York Philharmonic); and, 1 movie (Moneyball).
There were 8 entertainment doubleheaders during the month.
Billi Pod had a great dinner with his dear friends David Huddleston and Sarah Koeppe, and their friend Judy Haskell, at Sardi’s, the legendary theater district restaurant.
During the month Billi Pod was extremely fortunate to have several events where he was part of Dian Crystal’s posse, which also includes Vera and Marty. Thank you My Lady.
He was also able to spend some quality time with several of his AA buddies (you know who you are), including a terrific Thanksgiving dinner party.
Unfortunately, during the month there was no face time with --
Worker Bee #1 - whose name rhymes with Peed; or
Worker Bee #2 - whose name rhymes with Beers; or
Worker Bee #3 - whose name rhymes with Cipher.
Billi Pod was out of town for 2 days/nights, down in Florida.
There were 1,613 blog page views and Billi Pod posted 30 times to this blog. This is, of course, in addition to daily postings on FaceBook.
During the month there was only 1, repeat, 1 day/night that Billi Pod stayed in without attending some entertainment event, and this stat alone typifies why Billi Pod loves living in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.
So, there you have it ... pretty AWESOME in my humble opinion ... but ... as I said ... it is up to you loyal and faithful readers ... because ...
I report - you decide.
Today, being a Monday, will be my usual errands and stuff day. It was really nasty looking at 8:00am - foggy and overcast. At 11:30 it has cleared up a bit but it is still hazy.
Now ... Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s THE DOOR, about two men waiting in a room with only each other and a banging door for company==>A-<==extremely well acted with a very provocative story line.
This is part of the Brit’s Off Broadway series at the 59th Street Theatre complex.
It clocks in at 50 minutes and has several plot twists that keep you focused. I had no problem with the accents. See it.
Well, to all of those NFL neigh-sayers==>Timmy Tebow and The Broncos did it again, didn’t they? Yes they did.
Oh, the last time I checked, the final score does not include your “sacred” style-points, does it? No, it doesn’t. What counts is winning ... and ... Timmy is a WINNER. BELIEVE BUTT-HOLES BELIEVE!!
Tonight’s entertainment event is ...
8:00==>RENT - “Rent tells the story of struggling young artists living on the edge and reaching for glory in New York's East Village.” (Off Broadway - discounted TDF ticket)
In 1996 the original Broadway production of Jonathan Larson’s rock musical won the Tony for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Yes, I saw it way back then and loved it so I am really looking forward to seeing this Off-Broadway production which has received generally favorable reviews.
The Gators playing Ohio State in The Gator Bowl==>how ironic is that?
BREAKING NEWS==>just got off the phone with a Yankee representative who called to assure me that I will be able to have a seat under an overhang, the exact location to be determined in about 3 weeks. That works fine because the payment deadline is now January 9th. Nice!!
GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
