The 03-08-11 International Women's Day was a flop here.

Suppose lefties had an event and no one showed up?  That happened locally yesterday, Tuesday 03-08-11.  The Google banner for the day was customized and clicking on it linked to the 100th anniversary of "International Woman's Day.  They had what looked like a Java webpage that said that the location of local events.  One was a "hands across rivers" events.  Locally, it was the Twin Cities, MN  at the LakeStreet/Marshall Av "peace Bride" which have admittedly peaceful demonstrations that started the day of the local Kathleen Ann Soliah/Sara Jane Olson arrest in June 1999.

Read the Star Tribune story on the event and the comment I posted below.  (hint: If you are having an event, state the date, don't assume people know this.)

My posted comment:

Google had a banner today on the event and a link to a page on the gathering here and elsewhere. Nowhere on this page did it say what date these events were supposed to happen. I had to Google a bit to determine that it was for March 08, 2011. ...... One site listed for a gathering on Tuesday afternoon was the Lake Street/Marshall "Peace Bridge". ...... At 4PM Tuesday two people with a homemade sign on the "event". After shopping and seeing the "snow mountain" by the State Capital I headed across the bridge at five minutes to five PM. Two more people with a professionally made banner. Four people is not enough to form a "human chain" across the river. ... (hint: It helps to list the date of an event on a webpage announce an event!)
