 +attendees: fool, amos, bonnie, drew;  added before 6:30 - aaron t, emilia woodside, alex reese, kirsten thom; daniel at 6:45
 +
 +===== WNBR suggestions: =====
 +
 +  * **Daniel** can we get portapotties or businesses to provide potties on the route? or maybe encourage people to use it before/after ride?  or at least mention to new riders on faq page and/or handout at gate.  might help cut back on riders using the city as their urinal.
 +
 +  * can we do two shorter loops?  some folks just don't want to ride that far.  practicality says probably not (Daniel points out we filled 2/3 of the route for the whole time this year) but maybe a cutoff for shorter route if we make the main route longer?  TBD w/ planning group
 +
 +  * need to solicit thankyou notes from shift for PPB+others - make at meetup! - fool to announce and solicit materials
 +
 +===== WNBR funds & fundraising =====
 +
 +  * spending shift money on PPKP - $400 is voted for stickers.  can come back for other funding needs.
 +
 +  * fundraising for next year needs to be addressed monthly, needs a leader who can start now (maybe steph?).
 +      * start with steph
 +        * maybe she'll work on commission?
 +      * mostly looking for $$ vs in kind, unless it was: mechanics, location, bike parking, portapotties, band, etc.
 +      * use kickstarter or other means to pre-solicit donations directly from the riders?
 +      * get notes from afterparties on how much they made, to increase sensibility of afterparties next year + make marketing easier.
 +      * set a goal ($5000?) and work towards it so we have some sense of progress.
 +
 +===== pedalpalooza post-mortem =====
 +
 +  * calendar kudos out the wazoo - thanks tall steve!
 +  * so many amazing rides w/amazing turnout
 +  * aaron wants to connect with the oregon tourism board or similar org to get the word out to promote (worldwide) tourism to portland for pedalpalooza
 +      * someone should contact business owners to get notes about increased $ from pp (pizza/tacos/socks/etc) - fool to solicit ride leaders on shift
 +  * pedalpalooza - should be longer! - 3 weeks?  could get one weekend apiece for parkways, WNBR, and MCBF that way!
 +  * encourage shifties + others to make their own favorite rides regular (you, too, can lead a taco ride!), outside of pedalpalooza - just choose one and do it.
 +  * MCBF vs sunday parkways = not on same days again. 
 +  * MCBF - praise for location, vast agreement that it should stay at end of PP
 +  * MCBF - heather to be reimbursed $10 for berries out of shift $ if MCBF won't/can't pay
 +
 +===== other =====
 +
 +  * MVP's from WNBR: halley and stephen - shift to pay dutch for an hour apiece for those two? ( $100 ).
 +  * fool pinged tall steve for his last meetup location idea for next meetup to post to shiftadmin
