Come for the drinks, stay for the food.

Who’s that knocking at my door? Don’t cha wanna know? Don’t cha?

I’m not surprised that when I’m fortunate enough to have LA Observed link to me, (and Defamer, through LAO), I get many new visitors, but hundreds more? A friend and I were discussing this, and when I told her that I got even more visits than when Editor & Publisher mentioned me, she said, “Well, that makes sense. Kevin is the conduit to the West for everyone on the East Coast. Who else are they going to call?”

LA Observed’s latest mention of me was the unfortunate and violent draining of Silver Lake. Of course, everyone likes to see a nice snapshot, so maybe the juicy photos made the difference in visitor numbers. In any case, they came. Unfortunately I don’t have the best tracker, which is frustrating for a curious person like me, but I make do. (Don’t be alarmed. Normal people are just a series of boring numbers. And only a few IPs have corporate names attached…)

• Hey there, LA Times! Good to see you guys again! We had a great thing going…

• Channel 2 , moi?

• KCET, I’m honored.

• New York Times? Call me, man.

• Disney, I’m not really your type, but thanks anyway.

Then there were the more serious types.

• My intended audience, LA City and the Department of Water and Power: touchdown!

• The US Department of Justice: uh oh.
• Many college professors.

• The FAA.
• Reed business publications.
• A few law firms, mostly in Washington DC, one specializing in intellectual property (yes!), and one in utility lawsuits (GULP.).

But my personal favorite was the National Gallery of Art. FINALLY! Cartoons will get their rightful place in the art world! Can’t wait to hear from you, and yes, I’m available! [/arm waving]
