[Deptheads] Preliminary attendance numbers

[Eric M. Aldrich I]

No, calling it a 10 percent increase is pushing it. We can say that  
"turnstyle" attendance is up 10 percent, as the attendees certainly  
were also there more than last year as well. We always have a few  
uncounted folks -- we always round up to the nearest 10 (this is safe  
as it means that we at most add 10 to the count we can verify with a  
paper trail, and no one would argue that this isn't conservative)
