best quote: “There’s keeping Portland weird. And there’s making Portland creepy.” In regards to the often uninvited butt slapping that occurs during the WNBR
Jonathan, NOOOOOOOO! The WNBR starts at 10pm, not 9pm! Please fix it before there’s a separate naked contingent that takes downtown an hour early! 😉
The ride starts at 10pm. It is listed on the Shift Calendar as 9:00-11:30pm. Get there before 10 to meet up, stow your stuff and whatnot.
