Other details: Efforts are being made to drum up some media
interest in this gathering, much like others have done at "viewing
parties" around the United States and abroad. The Associated Press
has been contacted, with print and broadcast media also planning to be
solicited. So call in late to work, take a personal day, make up some
excuse about the Boston-area traffic being a nightmare (you don't have to
make THAT up,) and show up to show your support.
