The Big Turkey

By jelewis8 ⋅ November 23, 2006 ⋅ 2 comments

It’s been one of those holidays. It started two months ago, when I planned out a strategic, secretive visit to New York to visit my girlfriend Emily–a secret which was to have been a surprise, but due to my historically bad executive qualities, became quite a well-known thing in the Emily circle of knowledge. I [...]

If you haven’t heard our latest Fringecast offering, or you refuse to download the 30mb file and have resigned yourself to a life without colour, then today is your lucky day, because for the first time ever Fringe is offering one of our favourite portions of the Fringecast as a solo download.

Now, that only measures from January 2 on (I’ve been blogging since February 2003). 6,000 in one month nearly matches my August 2004 high of 6,515 visitors, which was helped by hosting both a Christian Carnival and the 100th Carnival of the Vanities.
