Happy almost-Springtime, dear patrons.

This month's budget went towards the LEDs that we put onto the LOVE trikes for Portland Winter Light Festival! The first weekend of the festival was a wild success, and the second weekend of the festival was wild blizzard that forced us to cancel both of our rides. Still, we got some great photos from the first weekend.

This entire display only takes 40-60 watts- less energy than a single incandescent light bulb does!

We even made it into the Williamette Week's spread about the Winter Light Festival, and the LOVE tikes were in 5 out of the 10 photos.

Now that we know that they work, the next step is get them all running on solar power, and then carting around even more deployable infrastructure.

Thank you for your patronage!
