ATTENDANCE NUMBERS - Need info for EN

Dear All:

If you ran or attended an event last year and you know the approximate amount of people who were there...

OR

If you are planning on hosting an event this year and have a thought on how many...

Could you pretty please weigh in here and give me you attendance numbers?

Equality Now would like to know so they can make up some shiny for everyone's screenings this year. Best guesses are welcome.

Thanks!

Toronto had about 275 people. Each year we get more people and since our "new" theatre holds 800, we are hoping to get LOTS more!

Shiny stuff from EN? Nice! The bracelets were much appreciated - we got those for 2 years but probably don't need them again.

Yes, Amanda and EN are thinking up some more goodies for us.

And posting for Memphis, we ended up with about 80 people in attendance. We handed out about 20 more from people who donated.

600 for Austin.

That will grow to about 900 for 2009.

We're expecting around 300 for San Antonio.

Hoping for ~150 for Daytona Beach, FL

Arlington, VA had a total of 550 for '08 (two nights) but are scaling back to one night so 300 is the estimate for this year.

Adelaide had 80 for the screening and almost 150 for the quiz night last year.

wouldn't expect many more than that this year

Our attendence numbers for last year were approximately 500 people.

Oh gosh...let's see. For Pittsburgh:

2006: 100
2007: 85
2008: 55

Our numbers don't look so impressed next to other cities'...but...we've always finished in the black, which is what counts.

Last year Charlotte had about 130 adults. For 2009 we are shooting for 200.

Denver did one screening in 2008 and had 174 people.

I don't have exact numbers for some years, but here is my best remembering/guess

2006
LA - 335
SD - Unknown since I wasn't involved, but about 100 I think

2007
LA - 319

2008
LA - 241
OC - 133
SD - 156

We expect to do about the same for all cities. It all depends on the size of the theater we get in LA.

The 2008 North Texas event sold out at 320.
It's possible for us to have 500 this year.

Shinys from EN? Yay!!
We had pamphlets for everyone last year.
They really helped spread the signal.
Thank you Amanda.
