When I originally mentioned the Austin Tea Party, their website listed 2 times: a midday one and an evening one. Checking the Tea Party website, I now see it only talking about the evening event. So I emailed to ask what happened to the midday event.
It seems it is a separate (but obviously related) event, the Don’t Mess With Texas Tea Party.
The evening event is the National Tea Party.
