Changing of the Guard
DO NOT MISS THIS AMAZING CEREMONY!
Pomp, circumstance, pageantry, honor, dignity, nostalgia, roasting and the four-way test.
At Redhook: Thursday, 12:15. Bid President Diane adieu. Bid President Tony welcome.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss....we WON'T get fooled again! (Roger Daltrey).
