That was 4 times the number they expected. There were 5 in various towns and villages near me, and ours was the latest at 4 pm. Apparently the earlier ones were mobbed. 
Hope all is well with you. It was a good day.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
