The monthly recaps continue. My first one was two months ago, the second one was one month ago.

I’ve been online for 90 days. I’ve had about 265,000 visitors. I’ve posted 185 stories. There have been 770,000 requests for pages, and a staggering 18,100,000 requests for all files (these are mostly people hotlinking to images and comics that I’ve hosted and posting them on other forums around the net). I’ve transferred 375 gigabytes of data (slowly approaching a terrabyte!). The most popular day of the week is Friday. The most popular hour of the day is between 1pm and 2pm.

I’ve gotten seven free t-shirts, one free hat and one free button (more please). A fan started petition requesting I be allowed to attend the premiere is currently standing at nearly 600 signatures (more please). There are currently 31 translations of “Snakes on a Plane” into foreign languages (more please). I’ve been interviewed by two TV crews. According to Google, SnakesOnABlog.com has appeared in 34 newspaper stories, been linked to by 521 blogs, and over 6,500 other webpages.

But my goal was not to build stats. My goal was not to get free t-shirts or high hit-counts. My goal was to attend the Hollywood premiere of Snakes on a Plane. If that doesn’t come to pass, then all the rest of this work was for nothing. Read my first, second and third pleas to hear more.

My goals are looking pretty good at this point. David Ellis, the director, has said that I’d be coming to the premiere in several interviews… but the quest doesn’t end until I’m standing on the red carpet.

Things are looking good, though. Thanks for everyone’s support.

Godspeed Brian. Hopefully, they’ll buy you a Ferrari to drive to the premiere too.

One of his early wishes was to attend the premiere, and he has 500 signatures on the Web site in support of his goal. “I have never been to a Hollywood premiere,” says F. Ellis says he should stop worrying. His tickets are ready. “We talked about Brian in the marketing meeting, and we have got to fly him out,” says Ellis.

STILL GLAD 2 SEE THE ENTHUSIASUM IS ALIVE AND WELL. I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A BIG FAN OF AIRPORT DISASTER FLICKS AND A LONGTIME SNAKE BREEDER. SO THIS MOVIE ENABLES ME 2 ENJOY THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. CAN’T WAIT. DID I MENTION THAT SAMUEL L. JACKSON IS ONE HELL OF AN ACTOR, THE 21ST CENTURY’S ANSWER TO RICHARD ROUNDTREE. NO WONDER THEY CASTED HIM IN THE SHAFT REMAKE.

[...] Is there any possible chance that Snakes on A Plane will even come close to living up to its hype? Does it even matter at this point? No and No. I don’t know how all the hype started for this movie, but if it was Brian F. from Snakes on a Blog, he is an absolute marketing genius. Check out some of the statistics from the blogosphere for this movie, thanks to customer evangelists for this. And now Tara Hunt is organizing a flashgroup to share SMS messages on the release date of the movie. [...]
