  • Bike Smut: thoughts on drinks; safe space/glow worms
    • There is an organization we know that has an abundance of beer. Fundraising opportunity exists here.
      • A permit is needed in order to sell alcohol. Our landlord is flexible, but will almost certainly require a permit if we want to sell beer.
      • A non-permit option is to give free beer and ask for donations.
    • Ray has produced aphrodisiac ice cream in the past. Would be able to make it.
    • Glow Worms: Concept from co-ops. People designated at event who wear glow in the dark wrist/headbands for easy identification. The glow worms act as ambassadors who help participants at large events with any q's (where bathrooms are, etc.) and help if anyone has any problems with safety, happiness, etc.
  • Subiir: Next meeting
    • Beer is being made every three weeks. Meet at 10/11AM to brew and ferment beer. Then we come to sudo, drink the beer from three weeks, bottle the beer from three weeks ago. Next Wed. is the next cycle. 80 bottles of beer. This will be donation based!
