The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think. Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:04:43 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 By: Linda https://norunnyeggs.com/2009/04/very-quick-appleton-tea-party-thoughts-and-the-rest-of-the-state/comment-page-1/#comment-37277 Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:04:43 +0000 https://norunnyeggs.com/?p=5496#comment-37277 so what was it like , besides the number of people? Was it held outdoors? I drove to another appointment, by that area about 5:10 but went west from Oneida, north of the bridge, south of College, and didn’t know it was to the east.
What did people’s signs say? Were there any police taking down license numbers? What happened onstage? Are there photos anywhere of the event?

The crowd looked to be 40 people wide by 80 people deep (which, if there are no gaps, would be 3,200).

Just heard on Belling’s show (WISN for those outside Milwaukee) there were at least 1,500 signatures on the banner they were sending to Congress, and I can assure you that not nearly everybody in attendance signed it.

I’m pegging it at 1,500? Agreed that 3k is high. Does someone have a Hiqh-resolution picture of the event?

Not even close. 1,000 at the most. I was there. And I wasn\’t accosted either. That was cool.

Not a problem. Live-blogging does seem to be my specialty :-)

The twitter updates were beneficial for doing highlight posts.
