I noticed that noone has posted an update. Or maybe they did and started a new thread? Anyway, I was there Saturday.

I brought my daughters, husband, and Dad along. I figure it's good to have men out there doing breastfeeding advocacy.
There were quite a few people who ended up showing up. I wish I had an accurate count, but there was so much coming and going that I don't really have a hard fast number. I'm sure someone else could correct me. I'd guess there were 30 - 50 people there. Between the kids, husbands, and extended family it was quite the crowd.
The store had asked for a representative from the DPD to be there. He was really friendly and just asked us to please hold our signs and not prop them on public property. Apparently the store owners had told him that it was fine for us to come and go inside the store all we wanted. I know at least one mother nursed her baby inside.
The store is sort of a strip-mall type of building, so there wasn't anywhere where a nursing mother could have gone to nurse her child without being in direct Texas sun. That in and of itself lends to the whole rediculousness (real word?) of the situation. Where did that store owner expect Amy to go to nurse her child? The street and sidewalk? A hot car? It just blows my mind.
We stayed for an hour, and then had to leave. Mainly because it was so hot. I have a couple pictures loaded at flickr if you wanted to see some shots of the day.
LMK if the link doesn't work and I'll change it.

Because they were worried about those mad breastfeeders becoming violent?

I'm sorry I missed it. Looks like it was a good turnout! I hope they change the way they deal with this in the future.
