Kristinn started an excellent thread titled "Tea Party Total Head Count Thread (Post Your Attendance Numbers Here). I've popped the attendance numbers reported by everybody through post #300 into a Google Docs spreadsheet which you can view here.
Please post notices of corrections to this thread and I will keep the sheet updated. Right now we are at about 370,000 attendance.
I need to work my way through to the end of Kristinn's thread to finish off the sheet.
Great work, thanks.
There was a Tea Party in Manhattan, KS. Estimated attendance 3,000-4,000.
Woodland Park, CO was estimated (by the press) at 300. I think the Colorado Springs number was closer to 2000 but I am not a pro at this stuff.
Thanks! Added Manhattan to list.
Big attendance for a college town!

Estimate per KMBC 10,000 people

Not an official result but it looked to me like there were between 500 and 750 tonight at the Van Nuys Ca Tea Party. This was put on by a group from the San Fernando Valley and Santa Clarita Valley.
I got there about 6:45 pm and the crowd grew until around 8:00 pm. I left at 8:00 and they were still going strong.
I went to Mizzou in Columbia. Saw the Jayhawks play quite a few times!
Fresno Ca signing in. When I left around 5:30 we had surpassed 5,000 people that had offically signed in. I am sure that we passed 6000, if not 7,000 since there was still 1 1/2 hours left.
The event was held in the parking lot of the Savemart Center on the Fresno State campus. It was cool, and windy. One of the sponsors was our local talk radio KMJ with host Chris Daniels as one of the many organizers.
Jim Rob and the Fresno Freepers was present.
According to the CNBC Larry Kudlow report, there were 700 tea parties nationwide and they think the largest one was in Atlanta with 5000 great Americans attending, including Sean Hannity.
I saw Neil Cavuto from the FBC at the Sacramento, CA party. He reported at least 5000 attended.
And add 1500 from Charleston. More numbers at link.

Anderson, and Spartanburg will hold Tea Parties Thursday and Greenville will hold one Friday.
For more information on South Carolina Tea Parties, visit www.SCTeaParty.com.
Colombia, South Carolina and Charlseton, South Carolina had Tea Parties today. Governor Sanford gave a conservative estimate on Greta of over a “certainly over 1,000 at at each place.”
Police estimate at evening event in Van Nuys, CA (part of L.A.) was close to 3,000.
Fabulous event and we need to do more!
Well, I’m sure we have something in common then. BOO KU!
Added all. thanks!
Spreadsheet is quite impressive. I think that the head count is going to double at the very least. CNBC reported 700 tea parties, but I am sure there were far more.
Added Van Nuys. Thanks.
Please put me on the ping list for the completed spreadsheet!
I drove to the Sacto event from Silicon Valley. Neil is way off on his estimate. Had to be at least 10,000, more likely 15,000.
There were at least 400 in Beaverton, Oregon. I have heard the number 3,500 reported for Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland, Oregon but I can’t confirm that.
Thanks. Added Beaverton & Portland.
Atlanta Tea Party - attendance 20,000 to 30,000!!!
Prescott, AZ - 2000 - A really impressive crowd for a small community.
L.A. sucks
Add Albuquerque, NM with est. 3000.

I speaker mentioned Pelosi and the crowd roared with cat calls, boos and hisses!!
In your images page link, that should read Congressman Doug Lamborn, Colorado 5TH district. Cong Dan Lungren is from the California 3rd district.
Add Fairbanks, AK with several hundred. (I will low ball it as 600)
http://newsminer.com/news/2009/apr/15/hundreds-fairbanksans-take-part-tax-protest-tea-pa/
450 at Laguna Beach, CA.
One of the most amazing things about the Tea Party today is that there wasn’t a centralized mechanism to count the participants. It just bubbled up! The real kind.
Winston-Salem is not listed under NC. WSJS radio reports upwards of 3000 according to link.

>>Doug Lamborn
Doh, I knew that!
Thanks for the catching that paste-typo.
The liberal Oregonian says 3,000 in Portland so I’ll take it.
Wasn’t there one in Seattle?
No problem.
Doug’s a good guy and a great conservative.
There was one in Olympia (capitol) with I heard 5,500. In Bellevue one with 1,000. The one in Seattle was at 7:30 this evening - haven’t heard anything.
110 in attendance at the Greenview CA TEA party.
Wow! Great work, Freeper!
