Sinreich (nom de avatar: Ruby Glitter) expected about 80 avatars to show up — 40 more than Second Life usually recommends, due to massive slowdown issues — but in the end 126 residents showed up to dance, wave signs, yell slogans, and show their support.

I exchanged my cool sign that wasn’t able to be raised for one with an arm-pumping gesture, and then I teleported from Progressive Island to the Capitol steps with 3-5 dozen avatars from several countries.
