100,000+
Actually, no more than 20,000. There are less than 200,000 Pakistanis total in all of the US. Also, once again, I find it absolutely retarded and fazool that there will be two indpendence day celebrations (at the exact same location, one day apart--what a waste!) It would have been nice to see some unity. They could've pooled their resources to do it in the coliseum like they did a few years back.
Still, I'm looking forward to the Saturday mela...

I find it Ironic.
Faith, UNITY, discipline.
Sounds familiar to you and me. Not to the organizers apparently.

Re: Pak Day LA 2007
The best way to celebrate 14th august would be to spend the day making duas for the country be it at home or mosque, pray for the long and better life of Pakistan instead of doing all the forbidden stuff like singing and dancing, mixing of men and women.

UFPID Arranges Historic Independence Day Celebrations
**
Los Angeles, CA: **The 60th Pakistan Independence Day celebrations at the Los Angeles Exhibition Park on August 11 furnished a truly soul-lifting spectacle. The surging crowd continued to multiply by the minute. The heavy traffic choked the nearby Kings Blvd as spirited Pakistanis sped to the park, which caused the parking lots to overflow, and forced the organizers to permit parking on nearby lawns.
Each individual in the **crowd , which according to some estimates exceeded 18,000**, appeared visibly charged, yet no rowdy behavior was in evidence. Instead, a rare patriotic fervor marked the proceedings.
The event generated a great deal of jollity and disciplined merriment. There were vivid manifestations of the spirit of Unity, Faith and Discipline, thanks to the splendid arrangements made by the organizers - United for Pakistan Independence Day (UFPID). Most members of the community described the celebrations as “historic” and the “best” organized in the history of Los Angeles. Accolades for UFPID followed, and deservedly so.

Re: Pak Day LA 2007
Wow! 5abi the pics are fab! Thanks for sharing...looks like the entire event was a roaring success...well done!
Plus, I love the fact there appears to have been no notable trouble...even local melas here attract morons looking for a fight...so an event estimated at having up approx 18k attendees with little or no trouble is to be applauded!!
:D
