- Roost Apparel: An order will be going
to Red Sun for the 3 Raven's Head Flag Logo shirts. These have been extremely popular and I
know I get people asking me wherever I go, "Where did you get that
shirt? Can I buy one?" Don't get left out and don't assume that
there will be extras in your favorite color and size. The sweatshirt jackets can be ordered in
black and grey and are $25. The
long sleeved T's can be ordered in grey, black and purple and are
$20. The short sleeved T's are $15
and can be ordered in just about every color imaginable, but black and
purple are the ordered favorites so far.
I've done some in pink (ladies but hey we aren't judging), red
(Terps fan) and orange (Orioles fan) and they turned out really cute. I can also order children's sizes and of
course they are less (but it depends on what size you are ordering). This is the second order of these and
not sure there will be enough interest for a third, so if you want one (or
more), are thinking about one for a gift for your family and friends,
don't sit on this! You can place
your order by emailing Maggie at millermaggie@mchsi.com. Don't
be left out, get on the list for the order!
Football season will be upon us soon! Did your favorite player leave the team and
now you don't have a jersey and spending another $100 bucks just isn't in the
plan? How about a Roost 44 jersey? They cost $35 and you'll never be
traded! Email Maggie at millermaggie@mchsi.com. Various
sizes still available. Show your Roost
pride at the stadium!
New to the Roost?
Do you have a Turtle, Ox and Raven logo short sleeved T? We have a few left. Purple and grey available - cute logo $15.
Last but not least:
new Roost members might like a purple Hawaiian shirt for $40! Taking orders for those and hope to place the
order. And those of your whose shirt has
been "shrunken in the dryer"...you'll need a new one too so order
one! Also Roost 44 golf shirts - yes the
purple ones with the "slimming white side stripes" can be ordered
anytime. They are $35 and come in both
men's style and ladies v-neck collar style with a Roost logo on the left
chest. An order for these will also be
going in to Red Sun.
Here's to being the best dressed Roost in
Maryland! Go Ravens!

- Friday - Heart at Freeman Stage, Freeman
Stage. Rock & Roll Hall of
Fame inductees Ann and Nancy Wilson first showed the world that women can
rock when their band, Heart, stormed the charts in the ‘70’s with hits
like “Crazy on You,” “Magic Man,” “Barracuda,” “Straight On,” and so many
more. Not only did the Wilson sisters lead the band, they wrote the songs
and played the instruments too, making them the first women in rock to do
so. Heart continued topping the charts through the ‘80’s and ‘90’s with
huge hits like “These Dreams,” “Alone,” “What About Love,” “If Looks Could
Kill,” “Never,” and a string of other hits that showcased the sisters’
enormous talents as musicians, singers and songwriters. $35 – $125. Assigned seating or standing room only
tickets offered.

show. You will be amazed by his Juggling skills, while he teaches you how
to juggle. His talent to motivate you through juggling will help you build
your self-esteem, confidence and focus.

- Saturday (evening) – Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Freeman Stage. 2015 marks the 22nd Anniversary of Big
Bad Voodoo Daddy’s remarkable arrival onto the music scene. In it’s first
years, having secured their legendary residency at the Derby nightclub in
Los Angeles, they reminded the world—in the middle of the grunge era, no
less—that it was still cool to swing, big band style. Today the
high-energy nine-piece ensemble continues the party and takes things to
the next level with the release of RATTLE THEM BONES. The follow-up to the
much lauded 2009 release, How Big Can You Get?: The Music of Cab Calloway,
Rattle Them Bones still urges their millions of fans worldwide to shake
and move to their inimitable grooves while also expanding their horizons
with new musical inspiration and influence. In it’s first years, having
secured their legendary residency at the Derby nightclub in Los Angeles,
they reminded the world—in the middle of the grunge era, no less—that it
was still cool to swing, big band style. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy hit pop
music superstardom with their appearance in front of millions during the
halftime show of the 1999 Super Bowl, while their 2003 New Orleans
inspired album, Save My Soul, shifted focus to playing theaters,
performing arts centers, and large outdoor venues to selling out shows at
the Hollywood Bowl, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Lincoln Center, Chastain
Park and Constitution Hall, to name just a few. The band often plays more
than 150 shows a year and has appeared as special guests with many of the
great American symphony orchestras.

A guy goes to the Post Office to apply for a job.
The interviewer asks him, ‘Are you allergic to
anything?’
He says ‘Yes – just caffeine’
‘Have you ever been in the service?’
‘Yes,’ he says. ‘I was in Iraq for two years.’
The interviewer says, ‘That will give you 5 extra
points toward employment,’ and then asks, ‘Are you disabled in any way?
The guy says, ‘Yes 100%…an IED exploded near
me and blew my testicles off.’
The interviewer tells the guy, ‘O.K. In that case, I
can hire you right now. Normal hours are from 8 AM to 4 PM. You can start
tomorrow at 10:00 – And plan on starting at 10 AM every day.’
The guy is puzzled and says, ‘If the hours are from
8 AM to 4 PM, why don’t you want me to be here before 10 AM?’
‘This is a government job,’ the interviewer says.
‘For the first two hours we just stand around drinking coffee
and scratching our balls. No point in you coming in for that.’
