I'm thrilled to report that in Richmond Virginia , we had the most Transgender crowd since I was a part of the first five years ago. Yep, we had nearly 160 people .

Now I'll admit , not all in the pictures were actually transgendered . Still, for a city of this size and so close to DC , this was an amazing feat !
Let me say this to anyone involved with any of the political activist groups in Virginia , THANK YOU for volunteering you money, time products , efforts or whatever you found to be worth sharing .

I'll take a rough guess and say the Boston event had about the same. I urge everybody to at least stop by next year. Hugs, Devlyn
We had a great event in Albuquerque. I don't know how many people-- I'm guessing around 150 or so.
It was outside around a pond with luminarias (candles inside paper bags) all around the pond. It wasn't strictly a memorial as they also talked about celebrating transgender lives. I thought it was awesome.
It was sponsored by a GBLT group and not sure how many trans people there were. I probably at least met 1/4 of the people who were there.
