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.
