Two weeks ago, Blue Roo started preparing for this day. If you remember, Roo carefully selected dozen red roses with the help of Nikki at FluidBloom Designs, one of SLO’s most popular floral shops.
Since that day, Roo has been working up the nerve to ask out one very special hen. Maltida is a pretty little thing with black speckles, and she lives at Farm Supply Company. Roo met her last year when he had a photo shoot at Farm Supply. Roo hopes the roses, his dashingly good looks and his charm will win over his hopeful sweet heart.

Earlier this morning, Roo visited Farm Supply to ask out the hen of his dreams. Matilda was happy to see Roo, but one of her coopmates, Bernard, may have felt a little threatened by the presence of another male. But once Bernard realized that Roo is a cool bird, he started to warm up to him.
Roo began his extravagant invitation by reciting a poem:
Roses are red,
Roosters are blue,
Corn is sweet
And so are you!
Then, he mustered up all his courage, and invited Matilda to dinner and a movie- popcorn and Chicken Run. Matilda clucked “Yes!”, and explained that Chicken Run is her favorite movie. Looks like the two lovebirds will have a fun-filled Valentine’s Day.
Reciting his poem to Matilda. Bernard looks on.
Blue Roo wishes all YOU lovebirds out there a fun & goofy Valentine’s Day!

As we all know, Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, and Blue Roo has already started to prepare for the big day. The question on everyone’s mind is: Does Blue Roo have a sweatheart?! If he does, he’s keeping it a secret. Maybe he’ll let us know after February 14th.
This morning, Roo visited his good friend Nikki Caldwell at FluidBloom Designs in the Laguna Shopping Center. The flower shop has been at that location for 25 years, and Nikki came into ownership several months ago. FluidBloom is also located downtown, on the corner of Pismo & Chorro. Blue Roo was on a mission to order a romantic bouquet for Valentine’s Day, and Nikki was there to help him pick out the perfect flowers.
What a romantic rooster!
Nikki is a customer of Blue Rooster Telecom, and while they were hunting for flowers, she thanked Blue Roo for the friendly and personal customer service she receives every time she calls with a question or needs help with her phones. Blue Roo was so flattered, he dove , beak first, into a huge arrangement of flowers to hide his blushing blue cheeks.

After a short search, Blue Roo decided on a bouquet of vibrant red roses- one of Nikki’s most popular requests. Roo pre-ordered his flowers, which made Nikki very happy. Pre-ordering flowers ensures that the shop will have the roses fresh and ready for him on the 14th. Blue Roo’s going to tell ALL his friends to pre-order their Valentine’s Day flowers from FluidBloom online or by phone (805-784-0415).
Now we just have to wait and see what lucky chick is going to receive those flowers!

Today is an exciting day; a milestone for Blue Roo. As of now, Blue Rooster’s Facebook page has 199 “Likes”. He has been waiting by his laptop for hours, waiting for that last “Like” to push his page up to……
Roo is excited that his company, Blue Rooster Telecom is getting great exposure and recognition as one of the most fun and customer friendly telecom companies in SLO. Blue Roo, however, is more excited for the attention he’s getting on his Facebook page. He’s so happy that more people are looking at his pictures, his statuses, and his funny posts. Now, people are getting to see who the real Ruler of the Roost is: Blue Roo.
Once he gets to taste the power of 200 “Likes”, he’ll want to keep on going. Maybe 300 “Likes” by June? Perhaps 100 followers on Twitter? (Yes, Blue Roo does have a Twitter.) The possibilities are endless.
Whatever the case may be, Blue Roo is working towards being the most popular rooster of 2012…. and beyond! Blue Roo would love for you, his friends, to cheer for him as pass the 200 “Likes” mark on Facebook! Go Blue Roo!!

During these chilly winter months, everyone on the Blue Rooster Team drives to work- including Blue Roo. Well…. he doesn’t exactly drive (roosters can’t drive, silly). He carpools.
Buckled up and ready to roll.
In order to go on all of his wild and crazy adventures around San Luis Obispo County, Blue Roo has to be driven by one of his Blue Rooster coworkers. Driving Roo to work is always an adventure in itself. He is quite the backseat driver- he always squawks directions, even though he has no idea how to drive . (He can’t even put the key in the ignition.) He always calls ‘shotgun’, and sings at the top of his lungs as he rides across town, perched up and safely secured by his seatbelt.
Sometimes, when he’s not too wild, his coworkers let him sit in the driver’s seat and imagine what fun it would be to drive a car.
Dream on, Blue Roo!
Even if he were allowed to operate a motor vehicle, Blue Roo would still choose to carpool to work- it saves money that he would be spending on gas; it causes less damage to our beautiful, SLO atmosphere; and it gives him quality time with his coworkers.
Plus, he gets so much more attention dancing in the car on the freeway than he does dancing in the Blue Rooster office. And we all know Blue Roo will do ANYTHING to get more attention!

It’s that time of year again! The San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce will host its 107th annual dinner this Saturday, and Blue Roo couldn’t be more excited. The Chamber’s annual dinner is the longest running annual event in SLO; it might also be the most glamorous! This year, it’s a red bow-tie affair, and Roo cannot wait to get dressed to the nines. He’s excited to see the glitzy side of SLO, because he spends most of his time looking at the side of his chicken coop.
He's what we like to call a chick magnet.
There are sooo many things about this event Blue Roo is looking forward to, including the roasted corn risotto, which is offered as part of the entree. (He’s also very happy that chicken is not on the menu this year!) But above all, Roo is looking forward to the giving out of the Citizen of the Year Award. Maybe, just maybe, he will hear his name called this year. Roo was an upright citizen last year: he’s helping to build a local business (he’s the poster-chick), most of his pranks have been tasteful and harmless, AND he was kidnapped for goodness sake! Doesn’t he deserve to be citizen of the year? Roo certainly thinks so! He’s so humble too.
But, if the award must go to another, Roo hopes it will be his new friend Sparky the Squirrel, who works at Verdin. Sparky is a breakout businessquirrel , has an incredible work ethic, and is a great friend to everyone on the Blue Rooster Team, especially Blue Roo. If he or Sparky wins the award, Roo will be happy.

New Year, New Roo
With 2012 underway, Blue Roo has decided to make some changes in his life. And this time, he’s going to stick to them. In fact, in sharing his list of resolutions, it will help keep him accountable throughout the year.
Goal #1: Exercise Regularly
Roo wants to keep up his stunning physique in 2012, and his old fitness regime just isn’t cutting it anymore. It’s no longer fun or challenging. He’s looking into circuit training, cardio pilates and Bikrahm Yoga. Whatever he decides on, Roo is going to exercise on a daily basis!
Goal # 2: Visit the Vet Frequently
Health is important to Roo, and to ensure that he stays healthy and happy this year, he’s going to have tri-monthly visits to his veterinarian added to his busy schedule. He’s also going to take all the vitamin supplements his vet suggests.
Goal # 3: Read Consistently
Roo has been crazy-busy for the past several months, and he hasn’t had a chance to catch up on his reading. He’s going to re-subscribe to the Farmers’ Almanac to get going on reading again.
Goal # 4: Keep a Clean Nest
Roo’s used to jumping out of his nest at the crack of dawn and heading out before tidying his nest or his coop. He’s decided that things have been piling up for too long, and he’s going to start cleaning up his messy abode every morning when he wakes up,
Goal # 5: Pull More Pranks!
Blue Roo is a prankster – no doubt about it! But he’s been recycling pranks for a while now, and he needs to brainstorm for new and better pranks. He wants to be more innovative and original. Maybe he should read more Mark Twain.

Celebrating the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
The Blue Rooster Team having a blast on our holiday float.
How did the Blue Rooster Team spend the holiday season? Celebrating and goofing off with friends and family, of course! On December 2nd, San Luis Obispo’s annual Holiday Parade, hosted by San Luis Obispo Downtown Association, kicked off the city’s official Christmas celebration. The theme for this year’s parade was “A Beary Merry Christmas”. Blue Roo and the Blue Rooster Team created a float festooned with a gigantic, stuffed and cardboard bears. At first, Blue Roo was upset that another animal was stealing his spotlight, but was happy once one of the bears decided to carry him at the front of the float.

The parade was a huge success- San Luis Obispo residents flooded the streets and cheered on over 100 passing floats. The Blue Rooster Team (including customers and family members) all wore matching Blue Rooster sweatshirts and zany rooster hats. Everybody loved the hats. Jeff tried to give a hat to a boy in the crowd, and twenty more kids dove to grab it! Too bad there weren’t enough chicken hats for everyone! The Blue Rooster team had the time of their lives dancing around with Blue Roo and wishing everyone a happy holiday season.

One of Blue Roo’s colorful relatives has made a trip to San Luis Obispo for the holidays. Of course there is always excitement when family is coming to visit but sometimes it can be a bit too much especially when the relative is a bit colorful. This may be the case with Blue Roo’s colorful cousin “Polychromatic Roo”. Poly, as he is commonly known, says he loves the temperate climate, beautiful scenery, great feed and an abundant supply of his favorite wines while visiting his cousin Blue Roo.
Poly’s behavior can be a bit abrasive as he likes to crow very early and particularly shrill even after a late night strutting around the coop. There will be no sleeping late during the holidays for Blue Roo with cousin Poly around. Poly tends to like to overindulge a bit during the holidays, too. He can get a bit obnoxious and launch into belligerent discussions on sensitive matters, inappropriate comments around the hens and even wear an occasional lamp shade. Otherwise, Blue Roo is excited to have his cousin visiting and looks forward to a Happy Holiday season with his friends and family. He wishes all of his followers a great Holiday season, too. Cheers from Blue Roo!

Jeff and Blue Roo presenting Dave his reward
As you may recall, when Blue Roo was missing, we asked for concerned citizens to “like” Blue Roo’s missing poster on Facebook to help raise awareness of Blue Roo’s missing status. As a reward for expressing concern for Blue Roo’s whereabouts, these friends were entered in a raffle to win an IPOD Nano. Well we have a winner and a hero as far as Blue Roo is concerned. His name is: Dave Mulvey of American Perspective Bank. Congratulations to Dave and thank you to all who participated in our contest!

Sharon, Craig and Lisa~ MB Chamber Team
Blue Roo felt right at home at the Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber Team accompanied by Bell, an enthusiastic chihuahua, and Walter, a charismatic tortoise greeted Blue Roo with gusto. They all enjoyed a beautiful day hanging out on the deck overlooking Morro Bay, the Sand Spit and the Rock. While Blue Roo perched and basked in the Morro Bay afternoon sun with his new friends, he thought, life is good on the Central Coast. He was also very thankful to be a chicken and a telecom mascot on the day before Thanksgiving.
