YANKEE WIVES==>B

Friday==>A huge TGIF shout out to all of my Worker Bee friends out there in the hinterlands, wastelands and boondocks. 

Your favorite blogger up here in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World, hopes each and everyone has a great weekend, extended, of course, by Labor Day.

Billi Pod has entertainment events already scheduled for most of the upcoming 10 days and will share the details with you loyal and faithful readers and followers later in this blog.

So ... let’s get started with Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s entertainment event ...

YANKEE WIVES, about six women thrown together because their husbands play for The Yankees==>B

Decent acting saves the kinda unbelievable story line. There is way too much yelling and screaming, that ultimately ends in gratuitous physical violence. Despite this ... 

Billi Pod says==>worth seeing.

The show is playing at the Hudson Guild Theater on West 26th Street, has a running time of 1:45, with intermission, and runs through September 15th.

Before the show I walked down to the theater. The weather was really nice. When the show was over it was still nice out, so I walked back to the apartment. It felt great.

Tonight’s entertainment event is an Off Broadway comedy ...

7:00==>MATT & BEN - “When the screenplay for ‘Good Will Hunting’ drops mysteriously from the heavens, the boys realize they're being tested by a Higher Power.” (Off Broadway - $9.00 TDF ticket)

The roles of Matt & Ben are played by female actors.

I saw this show about 2 years ago in a workshop version and remember liking it.

It is playing at The Network on West 36th Street and has a running time of 70 minutes, without intermission.

Moving on to a bit of sports for my theater-buddy Marty Kosarik aka Whatever ...

The Bronx Bombers had yesterday off.

Tonight at 7:05pm, out at Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed And Ego Built, The Yankees play game 1 of a crucial 3-game series against The Orioles.

On the mound for The Bombers will be the struggling CC Sabathia (11-11) vs. Miguel Gonzalez (8-6) for the Orioles.

Hooray==>the college football season has finally arrived.

As most of you loyal and faithful readers and followers know, Billi Pod is a H U G E college football fan but not-so-much a pro-football fan. I like watching college football, regardless of who the teams are and/or where they rank.

Tomorrow at noon the tenth ranked Florida Gators will play Lake Howell High School and ... what? Oooooops ... sorry ... the team is the University of Toledo, at The Swamp. We are favored by 24 points.

Moving on ...
