My dad chastised me last night for not posting my monthly recap.  I had forgotten about it.  Whoops.  My first one was three months ago, the second one was two months ago and the third one was last month.

I’ve been online for 121 days. I’ve had about 487,000 visitors. I’ve posted 257 stories which received 1,614 comments (and 792 blocked comment spams) as well as one contest. There have been 1,530,000 requests for pages, and a staggering 31,200,000 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 772 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 eight free t-shirts, one free hat, one free button and one free mug. A fan started petition requesting I be allowed to attend the premiere is over 1100 signatures. There are currently 49 translations of “Snakes on a Plane” into foreign languages (including ASL). I’ve been interviewed by two TV crews. According to Google, SnakesOnABlog.com has appeared in 151 newspaper stories, been linked to by 829 blogs, and over 5,500 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.
