Friday night tacoma?

nickajshelden · July 7th, 2018, 12:35 AM

So I was in San Francisco for the last week (huge shout out to the skating community there), and they inspired me to look into starting a Friday night skate in Tacoma (Seattle might be considered). I do have time on Friday nights, and have some ideas as to a route for Tacoma.
Just starting this discussion:
Why is this a good idea?
Why a bad idea?
Are you interested?
Route suggestions (either city)
Is there more interest in Seattle or tacoma? Can we make two groups?

I came back here to make a post about this, and then realized I already had. Well, still very much interested in this, and I have even started making a list of places to advertise it. I feel like advertising/getting the word out is going to be the most difficult bit.
I will probably wanna talk to the police at some time to alert them to the sheer number (I hope) of skaters on a friday night, but I might put that off until it is actually an issue.
What else do I need to be considering?
Any ideas of where/who for advertising this event (recurring)?
Also, if you are AT ALL interested, please reply or PM me so I can add you to my list. I'll keep the list private, but I have enough names so far to maybe actually make this happen.
Big decision to make: Seattle or Tacoma?
secondary decision: where in afore-decided city?
