What were some of the bigger challenges you faced with getting folks to participate? Did they come to one demonstration but not others?

Finding no indication of anyone else, I have decided to cancel my plans this afternoon rather than spend another hour in transit for nothing. Last month only Doug, David, (James and I with no signs) showed up, so I decided not to make the trip to Champaign this afternoon. I sincerely hope Doug has been notified. It was a noble effort if futile, since 2003.
