Community Building Tip: Crawl

For my current set of tips, I'm using the list "101 Small Ways You Can Improve Your City.

57. Organize a bar crawl. Phoenix’s Meet Me Downtown functions as a weekly after-work mixer as well as a fitness event that gets people out on the streets and into local bars and restaurants. A variety of routes send participants into new neighborhoods and participating businesses offer deals for those who walk or run.

Well, that sounds like a terrible idea. 0_o

Let's just substitute something less likely to cause alcohol poisoning.  Restaurants are okay, though.  Other ideas: crawl the local parks, bookstores, or coffee shops.  Walk/bike discounts are also an attraction, so consider making a loop of businesses that do that.  Just don't focus on  the ones that serve alcohol.

General Fund Poll

The general fund currently contains $35. Everyone is eligible to vote in this poll. I will keep it open until at least Sunday midday. If there's a clear answer then, I'll close it. Otherwise I may keep it open a little longer.

There are three open epics at present.

"Wanting a Little of Everything" belongs to Polychrome Heroics: Shiv. Bennett talks with Shiv and Luci about kink. It needs $31.50 to be complete, so this could be finished now.

"A Celebration and a Consolation" belongs to Polychrome Heroics. Keira's father dumps her mother on Yule. It needs $113 to be complete.

"The Best Understanding of Their Differences" belongs to Polychrome Heroics: Calliope. Calliope and Vagary get into a playful bubble fight.  It needs $54.50 to be complete.

February Goal: Wok Study

I'm most of the way through my short-term goals. While I can't sustain maximum effort all the time, I do want to find some other things that are shorter than the year-long goals.
