SKIN TIGHT==>B+


Good morning everyone out there in the morass known as cyberspace. 

Let’s get right to the important things because Billi Pod has a doubleheader today so he needs to post this and then head downtown for his first show, which is in the very West of the West Village.

So ... let’s start with Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s show ...

 SKIN TIGHT, about a couple who express their love with fierce poetry and potent physicality==>B+

I found this show to be immensely engaging yet also troubling with its underlying Sado/Masochistic theme.

The acting is excellent. The small theater was full. The one-hour running time flies by. 

Billi Pod says==>see it!!

The show is playing at the 59th Street Theater Complex in the Upper Eastside. I left the apartment a bit early so I could have some extra walking time. I actually got off the subway at 57th Street @ 7th Avenue and walked around the station there and then did the same thing at the 59th Street @ 5th Avenue station. Hey ... anything to get in the mileage on a cold and windy day/night.

Today is an entertainment doubleheader ...

2:00==>RADIANCE - “Inspired by true events, and laced with mystery and romance, Radiance delves into the emotional fallout of an unwitting hero, forever caught in the cross-hairs of history.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)

This show involves the story of Captain Robert Lewis who was the co-pilot of the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress bomber that dropped the atomic bomb Little Boy on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.

It has generated very favorable advance buzz.

Then for the evening is ...

8:00==>ALONE - “A portrait of Swedish playwright August Strindberg’s metaphysical quest for inspiration.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket).

Yeah, I know my loyal and faithful readers and followers, this looks like a pretty heavy doubleheader, doesn’t it?

As I had earlier posted the GATOR/ST. THOMAS HIGH SCHOOL game @ 1:00pm at The Swamp in not being carried locally. And ... oh, sorry ... I meant GATOR/JACKSONVILLE STATE game, I guess ... whatever ...

I will have to depend on my iPhone ESPN app to keep me up-to-date.

OK, gotta post this and get ready to head downtown to the West Village for my show. It is bright and chilly, 45º @ 11:00am.

HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A GREAT WEEKEND.

Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>6.04 miles (or, 13,198 steps)

Total mileage since 7/1/12==>747.03

Mileage remaining until 4/23/13==>331.97

GO GATORS!!
