Readers? Any reports from the field?

UPDATE Alert reader Phillip comments from New York :

i believe [there were] something like 30 sales in the city total.

i really think the value of the sales was in having people on the streets talking to their neighbors, passersby, the curious, kids, grandmas, everyone. i really think move on should do this every month from now until november. so should kerry.

What Phillip said.

MORE UPDATES: From alert reader "BudMan," this moving eye witness account from Colorado:

Dateline Colorado Springs - From deep in the heart of enemy territory (1 elected Dem in the whole county) we had a great turnout. Plenty of goods, supporters, and money raised. Lots of thumbs up and honks of support. The most heartening, and heartbreaking, thing was the military support: 2 MP's just back from Iraq pledged to continue to support Kerry and helped staff the sale; 1 soldier just back with his wife and 3 young kids - the wife was beside herself with nerves. They hung around the event all day; And one more soldier who is waiting to ship out, and knows it's a "clusterfuck of major proportions."
(his quote)

And this is something the polls can't pick up: the determination of all of us to make a difference, the large number of military and conservatives who are slowly changing their minds, and the weakness of support for Bush. We had 1 person come to our booth claiming to be Republican, and criticizing our effort. HA, I LAUGH IN THEIR FACES!

Thanks to all the readers who left reports in comments; any reader who attended any sale and hasn't yet left a description, again we invite you to.
Thanks BudMan.
