KPFK keeps insisting there were 20,000 people at Silverlake last Saturday.
Mainstream media insisted it was 5,000.
Guess what my own personal estimate was, without even knowing it would be right in between. That's right, 10,000 was my guestimate from being there.
That's a lot. It was impressive. I hope there's more downtown on Saturday ... and frankly, I NEED the huge turnout to encourage me. This has to stay active in some form for 6 months or so, till the Surpreme Court decides the issue. So it's important for me to see high energy and interest now, because it will obviously slough off over time.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to sharing the day with all you cool folks who will be there, and for trading stories later at the Tiki Party ... where we're going to have a big send-off for the grand old gay activist of our group.
