I couldn't find any other Dean Meetup thread, so I started a new one for the 80,000! http://dean2004.meetup.comhttp://www.blogforamerica.com

From Bloomington/Normal, Illinois (pop. about 100,000 - typically votes about 60% Rep.)
Last night's meetup was the second here - 6 showed up in July and 12 showed up last night. We're a college town (2 universities) so are expecting significantly more in September.
Demographics:
1 of the hosts is a registered Republican At least 2 independents A local union officer A poli. sci. university professor Age range from 18 to 50's Pretty evenly balanced gender-wise
Accomplishments:
Setup a letter-to-the-editor letter writing plan for our region - including Peoria, Champaign/Urbana
Plan for Dean supporters attending the annual local Democratic Party fundraiser with plenty of Dean material to share
Plan for carpooling to Dean appearance in Chicago
Logistics for next meetup - location, name tags, camera, etc.
Lots of enthusiasm! We're here and it's only August! That is truly what is still amazing me.

We had somewhere around 150 people...that's my guess.
