About Last Night

Terry Teachout on the arts in New York City

TT: And the hits just keep on coming

November 5, 2003 by Terry Teachout

“About Last Night” set a record yesterday: Our Girl and I racked up 2,900 page views, most of them courtesy of Lileks
and The Corner, for which much thanks. We also picked up a link late last night from BuzzMachine which will doubtless keep our Site Meter bouncing (and which you should read–Jeff Jarvis has a very interesting take on my posting about The Reagans).


The bottom line is that Tuesday ended up being our biggest day yet–bigger even than the never-to-be-forgotten day that Instapundit linked to one of our postings. We’re still kind of dazed, but mostly just delighted.


To repeat what I said yesterday: if this is your first visit to “About Last Night,” click here to read a recent posting explaining what we’re all about.


If, on the other hand, you’re an old-timer, well, come on in, the blogging’s fine! I’m going to be tied up for most of today (I’ve got to finish a piece about The Looney Tunes Golden Collection for The Wall Street Journal, then it’s off to see a play), but OGIC tells me she has some stuff up her sleeve. In any case, we won’t let you go hungry.


Oh, yes–it’s still absolutely O.K. to tell all your friends about www.terryteachout.com. Why stop at 2,900? This could be the start of something…well, bigger.


P.S. Andrew Sullivan got into the act shortly after midnight. This joint is going to rock today….
