Post Warhol Syndrome

Of course, any big spike in trafffic has to die down eventually, at which point Post Warhol Syndrome (my 15 minutes are up) sets in and you get a bit cranky because you're no longer getting 300 hits an hour. Sigh… still, the response to the Great Bowl O' Fire has been really gratifying. It got picked up on a number of my favorite blogs and also introduced me to some new blogs that I quite like. I guess the thing to do now is quit checking my stats and referrers all day and get back in the studio to make something else that will grab people's attention!

Here's a democratically alphabetical list of the places I've found so far that featured or linked to the Great Bowl O' Fire [Updated 6:8:05]

  read the comments for this entry. Fun, erudite people!

There were also a lot of incoming links from discussion lists, but I wasn't able to read most of those. Anyway, I figured I post the list partly for the curious to follow and partly because a good number of the sites didn't have comments or trackbacks turned on. Anyone who likes a good blazing pointy fire pit can't be all bad! I'll definitely be checking out a couple of the new (to me) blogs again in the future.

All in all, it looks like the Great Bowl O' Fire managed to generate about 3371 hits over the past two days, spread over both blogs. That's quite a bit more than the 100 or so I might have expected normally. Not bad, not bad at all.
