Roost #44 Poop
· Dates to Remember:
· Tonight – Ravens Rap @ the Blue Ox. Ravens Room open up to customers at 6pm, every show. We will now not be taking a real break after the “6 minute segments”; we will close out with clapping & start back up after about 10-15 seconds. We will now just take breaks after the 15 minute full segments. You may whisper amongst each other, there doesn’t have to be total silence. We can’t have any cursing. But you can also cheer or jeer (a little) based on the guys comments. This is a show w/ an audience, so there is expected to be some interaction. We seem to get feedback that the last 30 minutes, the part only on radio where you are supposed to be asking questions, is a “waste”. You all don’t have any questions, really, because they’ve covered everything. We need to know this, we may consider dropping it. Every Show you attend, you get two Free Raffle Tickets (1 Red, 1 Blue) EVERY Show two of the Red Prize tickets are pulled for prizes that night: about 30 minutes into show, for Ravens Merchandise or an Original Greene Turtle Gift Certificate. At the end of the show, another drawing; this one will always be Ravens Merchandise. The Red tickets, after each, show are discarded. The Blue Tickets are for the Grand Prize of a Ravens Trip for 2 to San Diego. The Drawing is Wednesday, November 30th & you must be present to win! You get a blue ticket for the Trip for every show you come to, so the more shows, the more chances. Note: No Worries, these tickets will be kept in a separate bucket, from the Red tickets that get discarded weekly. For this drawing on 11/30/11, there will be a runner up prize of a Turtle Gift Certificate PLUS a Real Nice Ravens Piece. Show starts @ 7pm, ending time may vary slightly. Show is usually Wednesdays, except for Thanksgiving & possibly Monday or Thursday games.

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go
And put that ball across the line
So fly with talons spread wide
Go in and strike with Ravens pride
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Ravens dark wings take flight
Dive in and show them your might
For Baltimore and Maryland
You will fly on to victory
