have it your way

Sometime in March, I dropped a little sitemeter on the bottom of this page. And sometime today, that little sitemeter will register 100,000 visits. Pretty exciting, right?

Well, now. How to celebrate? I could write something really meaningful. Or, I could post a picture.

We have until lunch time to decide.

but if i had to choose, it would be a story.

For those of us going to the Big Apple Blogger Bash and excited to meet the one and only Fish, we'd love to be able to know who you are so we can introduce ourselves on Friday.

Of course, since I come here for the meaningful writing every day at least once a day, the writing will also be excellently received.

i vote both, too!

I really like the picture idea. I just like to see what folks claim to look like. :)

I vote story and picture, since you asked. And why not do something nice for yourself? Specifically, 10,000 visitors a month ought to entitle you to at least a little ad revenue.

Post a picture, post a picture!

Posted by: Becka at January 21, 2004 10:30 AM

Both please.

Posted by: Dan at January 21, 2004 10:32 AM

I vote picture... dying of curiosity here!

Posted by: Charlene at January 21, 2004 11:25 AM

I agree about the ad revenue.

Posted by: belle at January 21, 2004 11:30 AM

I vote for picture. If you are taking donations to post a picture just let me know and I will pay pal you!

Congrats on 100,000 visits.

What if everyone just left $1.

Toutes mes félicitations! Very well done Fish! Always a pleasure to read your entries.

If it's a pic of you, I vote for the pic, I'm curious too! If it's a random pic, I vote story. ;)

Gotta be the dissenting vote on the pic. I like not knowing what you look like (as with most of my favorite bloggers). Your voice and your experience are absolutely distinct, but somehow more universal when I can imagine you being any of a number of faces I might have seen on the T.... Not knowing who you are gives a little bit of mystery to strangers -- who knows what stories each person I pass is holding on to.

Personally I think offering champagne to everyone who stops by would be a nice touch.

Fish, I would like to know who I'll be looking forward to meeting on Friday at the blogger bash. However, we all come here for your fantastic writing, so if the choice is either/or (not both), I choose the story.

Congrats on hitting 100,000. I was excited to notice today that I went over 4,000... I guess I have a ways to go...

Posted by: Daniella at January 21, 2004 12:54 PM

oooh, post a picture! :)

I was visitor 99,974!

Posted by: Jenn at January 21, 2004 01:14 PM

oooh, can i see a photo of fish? oh wait, i'm in possession of about a million of them.

Posted by: dahl at January 21, 2004 01:27 PM

ooooh! A picture. That would be so exciting! I have always wanted to see one.

Posted by: Erin at January 21, 2004 01:28 PM

10001.

Nicely symmetrical, eh?

I meant to say 100001.
