Seems to me you did your part. While it was a great crowd, there are still going to be many that won't even drive by.
Thanks for doing your part and supporting this most important event.

Was right behind you. Loved the "dummies" sign! Nice effort! I saw a lot of great signs.
I came late but was there.
I was there.
Arrived a few minutes late due to disable trains on the green line, but I mad it by 1215 and stuck around until after 1400. It was sometimes hard to hear from across the street, but I'm glad I showed up. Huge props to the folks who started the ball rolling, and thanks to those who have been posting photos/video.
I was there also. I was going to Boston this Saturday and wanted to blow the trip off to attend the Hartford one in my home state. I found out about the Boston one and attended it 
glad I did I want to support Mass also since I also compete at the New Bedford sportsman's club at the steel challenge matchs and its very importen to me that the laws don't change in ether states. MA hosts a lot of great matches. I also took and posted up some pics on the Facebook page

Look at these threads today and see how many brand-new users are able to say "I was there.".
This is a beautiful thing. I'd be willing to bet a large portion of us there today were there because of this forum.
Thank you Derek, for your service and for what this site has become.
You can't deny this is an instrumental tool for our victory.

"I'm John Doe from Quincy. I live at 123 Side Street...Come and take it!"
I also really liked they guy who got up and spoke about the crash outside of his Somerville apartment.
I rode in with a group from Alewife. I got a few confused looks on the T because of my sign, but no issues. I saw a bunch of my NES and shooting friends, and made a few more. At Alewife on my way home, I ran into a coworker. We chatted for a few minutes and though not a gun owner, he gets it. Today's event, running into my coworker, and a few other recent events have helped me realize that we need to be more open about owning guns. I know there is a huge taboo about this in MA, but if we can show our friends and neighbors that we are good, hard working, stand-up people who also own guns, attitudes will start to change.
Thanks to Shawn for taking point on organizing this, to all of those who spoke, and most important, to all of you who showed up. This was my first rally/protest, and I was riding the high for several hours after.
Here are a couple of pictures of the front and back of my signs.

It was great meeting you today, ( i was the guy in the suit that rode in with you from alewife) your sign defiantly got some good and much needed attention.
