1. In LA, I saw CBS and I think NBC vans at the vigil.

Which was beautiful by the way. Tons of honking and tons of people, and tons of candles.

Very cool***

2. Network coverage
I was 'host' in Chapel Hill NC where we had over 200 in attendance.
Durham had over 300 and got top of the 11 pm news coverage on the local ABC affiliate.
Although I had a pre-vigil call from a local Sinclair station reporter, they never showed. We did have print and radio coverage at our event.

5. All channels here
Albany, NY. Pretty good coverage too. The only complaint is they said there were about 300 people and it was closer to 400. Top of the news and they spent time on it and interviews.

6. I heard it said at Pasadena (CA) that the Star News
interviewed somebody.

uh...I don't see much help there.

Aside from that there were about 150 people or maybe more and many, many honking horns.
Quite inspiring.:applause:

7. Local news here
WNEP-TV in Northeastern & Central PA had the nationwide and Wilkes-Barre Public Square vigil as it's top story on the 11PM News. They also broadcast a report from ABC News.

Camp Casey has indeed gone national. I hope chickenhawk asses are twitching tonight.

10. I saw it this morning at the top of CNN's show.
They gave it maybe a minute and later in the show they did a long segment with Vera Gibbons about how we should invest in oil stocks.

At least they're covering, though.
