I was there brother, and it was great.  I would say that there was
at least a couple thousand people there at one time, although I
didn't move around too much.  I saw that dude w/ the laptop as
well.  It was good to see so many people there for Jerry.







: There was someone there video taping on 8mm and downloading it to a laptop.
: My wife talked with them and they said they were going to put it on 'the
: net'.  If you see anything or know anything about it, please let me know!
