Wow.

Thanks to everyone who turned out for the performances - the event, the audience, the feeling in that space at that moment, the workers who spoke... everything exceeded our most positive expectations. We counted about 200 people on Friday night and about 100 on a chilly Sunday afternoon. So did the Oakland Tribune: http://www.insidebayarea.com/ci_11164601

A post-show update is coming soon, along with photos.

Some ways you can be involved in current struggles:
