1. Considering the first announcement was late Monday, that's pretty good!

And no, I still don't know why the whole thing was put together so last minute. I haven't had time to ask. But hey, we learned some lessons and we'll be much better prepared next time. Also, CNN apparently did record some footage of the LA event today, supposedly to air tonight (doubtful due to the tragic events in TX) or tomorrow.

We'll see. At any rate, a big thank you to everyone who came out, phoned in or tweeted!

EDIT: Cenk will be recapping everything at 7pm EST/4pm PST at www.theyoungturks.com. Also, if you came to one of the three events and have an interesting story to share, .

6. Next time...

1) Contact the OFA (Obama for America) groups to let them know so they can show up too and they can also help to spread the word.

2) Check on MeetUp.com for pro-Healthcare groups in whatever towns the protest and let them know so they can show up too and they can also help spread the word.

3) Flood Twitter and Facebook early with the announcement of the protests.

4) Remind the protesters that when they jerk the signs up and down to the rhythm of the chant that it is harder to read when on camera.

Can't think of anything else at the moment :)

Journalism at its finest. ? Wait; isn't that a news event? Isn't CNN supposed to be covering the news? Erica Hill where are you?
