About the crowd estimate: On May 11, I counted 143 people in the hall at the start of the program, with a few people outside. May 10's estimate of 250 was based on a very rough estimate of 200 in the hall plus a bunch of people outside the hall. With the more accurate count of May 11, I would revise the May 10 estimate to be in the range 150-175. Estimates of others I spoke with ranged from 60 to 150 on May 10.
