Tea Party Total Head Count Thread (Post Your Attendance Numbers Here)

I'm hoping to be able to ascertain an overall national figure of attendance at the tea parties today by asking Freepers to post their crowd estimates on this thread.

I'm also asking that the thread be kept to just the numbers, no photos, etc., but if you want to link back to photos in your crowd estimate that's fine.

Please give the location and number of participants.

I'll go first:

Melbourne, FL - 1000.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for starting this, we are really wondering what the numbers will be as well.

Our tea party starts at 5:30 pm PST, so I will post a head count when we return.

Too bad the MSM isn’t in charge of estimating. The numbers would be in the millions already.

Denver, Co. police say 5-6000, so call it 5500.

I called it 5000, so close enuff.

Local radio here in San Antonio estimated the Alamo Plaza crowd at 15,000 . . . . . 45 minutes before the rally officially begins.

Huge turn out in San Antonio at the Alamo. News channels are ignoring all the tea parties so numbers are still out - Pics Here

Great idea.

While you're at it, please give us an estimate of the number of shop windows that Tea Party attendees smashed with rocks, how many attendees were arrested for disorderly conduct, how many cars were overturned and set on fire, approximately how much tear gas was needed to disperse the crowd, etc.

I was there and counted (guestimated) 700. The Stinky Inky reported 200 people with 20 signs.

Duluth Mn - Paper reports 700. I think more like 1000.

For one thing people were coming and going the whole time. If you counted the people who spent SOME time there I bet it was more like 1200

Ocala, FL - 1,000
