| 2. 150K of us protested in San Francisco (but we were overshadowed by our |
|
brothers and sisters in DC.) I can't imagine what would have to occur to get those numbers protesting anything in this country now.

| 5. April 24 - Yup I was there |
|
There were so many people you couldn't get near enough to hear most of the speeches. I don't mean that you couldn't get near the speaker's platform, I mean you couldn't even get within a block or two.
The major message for the day was "Out Now". I liked the slogan so much I still use it today.

| 6. I was there and heard it may have had a lot more people |
|
than estimated. A hundred thousand people yelling 'Fuck Hoover' was impressive. Regardless many times more than the beck-a-thon.
