Marc comments "The event was a great success, several hundred people showed up, and the money left over is going to the EFF." Marc, in addition to being a great guy, also has lots of reports from other shows.

    Why are there several photos of just a few people at a time in a huge empty field?

    I must admit, I agree with you. My girlfriend and I were there from 10:45am to about 3pm. We estimated about 100 people, possibly 200. The parking lot was about half full. That being said, there are probably a few factors: people were encouraged to take public transportation; the park was huge and they didn't keep us in cages, so people roamed about. They definetly planned on having a massive amount of people show up after the big headlines, however it seems to me that most people bloew it off. It was a good time though and I consider my donation well spent.
