Good morning to all of my loyal and faithful readers and followers. I hope your weekend has been awesome and that today will be a lot of fun for everyone.
Speaking of a lot of fun ... Billi Pod has a doubleheader plus scheduled for today ... starting with ...
2:00==>EVITA - “The revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 1979 pop operetta about Argentine icon Eva Peron.” (Broadway - complimentary ticket).
Ricky Martin usually plays the key role of Che but he is out for this performance. He has missed most of the past week. His replacement is Max von Essen, who has generated very good buzz. I am really looking forward to this even though I am confident my comp. seat will be in the upper nose bleed section and a couple of my theater-nut friends have hated the show.
Billi Pod will just have to see it and then make his own call.
After the show, at 4:45, I will meet up with My Lady, Dian Crystal, and Marty Kosarik at the Fallopian restaurant Meskerem, located on 47th Street in my Hell’s Kitchen ‘hood.
Really looking forward to seeing them and having some Fallopian food again and ... oooooooooooops ... have just been rather forcefully reminded that it is an Ethiopian restaurant and the food is, of course, Ethiopian, not Fallopian. Sorry Marty ... my bad.
Anyway ... after our whatever meal we will then walk down to Chelsea via The High Line for the next entertainment event, which is ...
7:30==>MONSTER - “This chilling stage adaptation of Shelley's 'Frankenstein,' takes an eerily disturbing yet poignant look at one man's obsession with creating life and the relentless and destructive consequences of abandoning his creation.” (Off Broadway -complimentary ticket)
This sounds very interesting, doesn’t it?
So, there you have it ... a Broadway show, early dinner with friends, a walk on The High Line and then an Off Broadway show. Yes, it is indeed a doubleheader plus day, isn’t it?
I know that you loyal and faithful readers and followers are breathlessly awaiting my report on Saturday ...
Well ... bottom line ... Billi Pod was indeed in a couch potato modality for the entire afternoon and evening ... so here is his summary ...
Yesterday’s baseball doubleheader was a split, with the Yankees winning the first game of the day/night doubleheader against the Boston F**kSox by a score of 6-1 with an excellent outing from Freddy Garcia and 2 homers from Andruw Jones.
In the second game The Wankies got the s**t kicked out of them, losing 9-5, with our pitching staff giving up 16 hits and the defense imploding with 5, yes, that’s right, 5 errors. It was a very difficult game to watch, trust me on this ... it was.
Yes, Saturday was basically a baseball overload experience for Billi Pod. I don’t expect to have this option recur during the rest of the season - Thank God!!
Tonight at 8:00 on ESPN will be the final game of the 4-game F**kSox series with Ivan Nova (9-3) on the mound for The Yankees vs. John Lester (5-5) for the F**kSox.
The All-Star Game break is next week and our next game isn’t until Friday the 13th against The LA Angels @ Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed And Ego Built.
I will close this posting with a HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out to GINA LYN FALLETTA, of Elgin, SC. Love ya Gina!!
Please give our darling Saylor a hug and kiss from her great-granddaddy and, I guess, a hug and kiss to Army Guy too. God, it’s hard to believe that this time last year it was just you ... now you have Army Guy and the little one with you to celebrate your birthday. Doesn't get much better than this, does it==>AWESOME!!
Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>3.14 miles
GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
