May Day actually would be a better day to demonstrate in Columbus
than March 19-20.  The weather was bad on March 20, 2004, and it was
worse yesterday, in Columbus.  Besides, the Ohio State University
still operates on the quarter (rather than semester) system, so most
students are out of town for the spring break during March 19-20.

Do sects ever sign up new members at rallies?  I'm just wondering.
