Independant of my efforts, a loyal reader has put together a petition requesting that I be invited/allowed to attend the premiere. Here’s the text of the appeal:
To: New Line Cinema
It has become apparent that the amount of work and effort put into the website www.snakesonablog.com has resulted in the soon to be released film “Snakes on Plane” receiving massive amounts of publicity months before its actual premiere.
The owner webmaster of the site www.snakesonablog.com, without asking for any financial contributions and of his own free will, has turned the film ‘Snakes on a Plane’ not just an Internet meme, but indeed into a worldwide cultural awakening. This movement has united people of different faiths, colors, creeds, sexuality, nationality and so forth, into ONE united goal: The magnificence that is ‘Snakes on a Plane’
Therefore, we, the undersigned, respectfully petition:
* Hannah Rachel Production Services Ltd.
* Mutual Film Corporation
* New Line Cinema
* Patchwork Productionsand director David R Ellis, to invite the owner/webmaster (same person) of www.snakesonablog.com to attend the Hollywood Premiere of the motion picture ‘Snakes on a Plane’ as a reward for all his tireless effort to transform what could have been a fun B movie into a world wide cultural movement.
Thank you
Sincerely,
You can sign the petition here, if you’re interested. I’m not sure that more signatures necessarily equals more chances of attending the premiere, but it certainly doesn’t hurt.
Again, I just want to say that I didn’t put it together so address any questions about the petition itself to reader Snakes in Europe.
UPDATE 8/7/06: Petition successful!

As music composer and singer of “Best Fan Song” I urge Mr. Ellis to give the snakes on a blog owner the royal treatment.
Cheers,
