First Draft just had it’s 3 millionth visitor…someone from Mars, Pennsylvania.
Congrats to Athenae, Holden and Tena. I’m the newbie here and very grateful to be a part of the FD family.
And to all our family of readers a big Mwah and Thank You for visiting and supporting us.
maybe if i began an obsession, my blog wouldn’t be so pitiful.
but but but obsessions require work…
Congrats! When I was in college at Allegheny, we used to hitchhike down I-79 to Pittsburgh. At that time the road didn’t go all the way there but ended in Mars.
This was in the mid 70’s and the Dead had just released Mars Hotel. So your karma must be good – since that is a truly incredible album. It includes the second Phil Lesh masterpiece (first one is Box of Rain) Unbroken Chain. If you’re not familiar with it – celebrate your 3 zillionth visitor with a listen. It’s stunning.
As a more-or-less-daily reader of First Draft and resident of Mars, PA–though I doubt I’m your 3Mth visitor, as I’m usually dropping by from work, not home–congrats to the proprietors for the milestone, and my thanks for all the hard work that makes this place worth the ‘trip’ from Mars.
FYI, the school team name is the Mars Planets, not the Mars Bitches.

I can’t believe there’s only been one “Mars, bitches!” joke so far. Congratulations to the team. Thank you for having the energy, vision and resilience to keep this very fine blog going, and for your contribution to the political dialogue in this country. Starting a blog is easy. Maintaining it, building a following, hanging in through all the technical problems and the occasional troll infestation is NOT easy. You give this old lady some hope, kiddos. And that is a commodity in very short supply these days.
Peace, V.
Congrats! Keep up the good work, kids!
Wow. Congratulations, and thanks.
We’ll be together
underneath the stars
Not talkin’ bout Venus, child
Talkin’ bout, talkin’ bout
Mars! Mars!
Da-da-dah, da-da-dah
Mars! Mars!
Da-da-dah, da-da-dah
The Farmers, ‘Mars’ (A great Chicago band from teh ’80s-90s.)
I’m from the real mars. Bitches.
Congratulations! You all certainly deserve it. And the new site design and architecture is a huge improvement.
Damn! Boo-yah!
This site does so much to help keep the NOLA recovery saga in circulation. Thanks for being there and keep up the good work.
Congratulations from the proprietor of a measly (and sucky) 55,000-hit blog. 3 mil ain’t bad when you have a fluffit with frilly clothes on your team. 🙂
See you in NOLA!
First Draft: Over Three Million Served. Bravo!
Mars, PA…
Just North of Moon, PA, East of Indiana, PA and not too far from California, PA. (I have a bad arm and could hit Mars from my desk, I know it well.)
Oh, and on topic, congratulations on millions and millions. You are my favorite obsession blog. Keep up the obsessivness. You put the ‘o’ in ocd!
.
wow, that’s a lotta millions!
Mwahhh back at all a’youse guys
Yay and congrats.
I still have major slowness problems on this site. Sometimes. Seems to have something to do with photos or videos on the home page.
Had the same crud when FDL first went dot com. But they fixed it. I like the work done here, but I don’t enjoy browsing this site much these days. It’s a DRAG. Well known drag, I imagine.
missed it by -that- much
congratulations, now that’s 30 laps around the blog.
Darn! I was just here about an hour ago!
Congrats. You guys do an excellent job.
