I’m writing this from the toilet. I had to switch rooms because several rooms next to me were full of extremely roudy guests. Now, the bathroom is the only spot in my hotel room with enough signal.
Rumor has it that 200,000 people are in town for The Call tomorrow. Since you don’t have to register there’s no way of knowing for sure, but every single hotel is sold out. The only way I was able to switch rooms was because IHOP accidentally booked 1 too many.

I took some, but the hotel’s free wi-fi is too slow to upload them. Updates coming late tonight when I get home.
However - the 200,000 rumor was way off. There were 50,000.

It was amazing. I didn’t get to your booth. Wasn’t sure where it was until late that night, and then I was too tired to walk over there.
Was 50,000 the official count?

@ Adam: 50,000 was our accountant, Vernon’s, count. Rumor has it he can get down to the person….

My dad, an intercessor who is also awesomely fun, (marcarius.wordpress.com) is desperate for the offical count of how many people were there… And he is also sad that he couldn’t get connected on the live feed. (nor could anyone I’ve talked to in Seattle) So post lots about Saturday, so my dad can get caught up!
