people here simply didn't know about it

This isn't directed only to you, but freeper dbwz posted info about it on the New Jersey board the day before: 12/20/2004 5:36:37 PM EST.

Folks need to set their locale and set their preferences so new posts to their state board show up on when they view the main news and other boards.

True, there are a lot of local announcements made on the state boards, so having yourself dialed in there is probably a good idea if you want to know what kinds of activism opportunities are out there. If you're not sure how to go about doing that, let any of us know and we'll gladly help you out.

I was there for a little while but had to take an important phone call, so I had to leave earlier than I wanted to. It was a nice crowd though, and while I missed seeing the TV coverage at home there sure didn't seem to be any lacking. Looking into all those bright lights made it darn near impossible to pick out any familiar faces, so I'm sorry if I missed anyone!

I think the point that MC was making was that the event wasn't publicized locally in Maplewood and surrounding communities.
