I watched NBC26 at 6pm and our event was the top story.
There's no link yet.
I think the interviews with Hubert and myself went quite nicely.

The reporter from another TV channel seemed more intrested in leaving than asking good questions.

The reporter with the Press Gazette asked some good questions and was intrested in doing a follow up interview later next week.

I think the event was a great success.

We drummed up media coverage before and after the event and the Press-Gazette seems intrested in doing a large piece later this week.

The TV26 report last night was VERY positive. Hubert and I made some great points and were not portrayed as extremists.

The Starbucks staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpful.

We had a flowing group of between 15 and 20 people there at all times.

No police interaction :)

We even recieved kudos from a Packer :)
