Is it permissible to for you to mention this availability in one of your e-mails to 44 members? Our roost is small in number at the present time so interest in my tickets is limited.  If this is permissible, please provide my e-mail address of jflennon1@verizon.net.  Thanks!  John

Local Poop 
  • Today - Yin Therapeutic Stretch on the Beach, 49th Street on the Beach.  A yoga technique w/similar effects of acupressure, emphasizing quiet, relaxed stillness. One of the most effective practices you will ever do in releasing more deeply held tension in the joints and deeper tissue, inspiring a renewed energy, comfort, and mobility throughout body and mind. This class is acceptable for beginners, but open to all levels.  $16/person or $30/couple.  Mats & water are provided at no extra cost.  To reserve a spot/payment instructions/all other details, please send me an email to kquinn@ecyoga.com or, if within 24 hrs please text 443-504-5135. Class size is limited, please make reservation early.  
  • Tonight David Nail at the Freeman Stage, Freeman Stage, 8 pm.  Since his debut in 2009, David Nail has made a career of singing songs that few artists dare touch in contemporary country music: sad songs. He has had hits with singles about cheating (“Let It Rain”), breakups (“Red Light”) and failed dreams (“Turning Home”) and he has owned every one, singing as if from personal experience.  Now, David has taken a refreshed mindset and used it to shape his trail-blazing third album. If 2009’s I’m About to Come Alive was a snapshot of David grasping for the stars and The Sound of a Million Dreams captured him struggling with success, then this new album, I’m a Fire, reflects an artist in control of his craft, a man fulfilled.  It’s very much a guitar record with, naturally for David, an emphasis on vocals. The ACM Award-nominated singer’s voice is without peer.  $20 all ages.  BYOC (Bring Your Own Chair).

Funny Poop 
  • A woman is walking on the road and a voice shouts out, "Don't take a step further." She obeys and suddenly a ton of bricks fall on the place where she would have otherwise been. She thinks she imagined it and keeps walking until suddenly the voice calls out again. "Don't take a step further." She stops and a car skids past. Then suddenly she hears the voice saying "I am your guardian angel, and I will warn you before something bad happens to you. Now do you have any questions to ask me?" Yes! Shouts the woman, "Just where were you on my wedding day!"  
Etcetera

Frank 

 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
