That was you? :D

I'd say there were more than 1000 by 10 mintues before the *official* start of the rally!

Yep.
Myself, my daughter Noelita and friend Ponz7 got sandwiched in against the rail. Noelita recited the Pledge of Allegiance and a great time was had by all.
We asked one of the cops how far down the rally entended and he said about a block on Broadway going south. It was hard to tell, but we heard other chanting going on and it sounded like it was in the distance.
