BETTER THAN FUUD: Thanks to you

By Catherine Toth Fox • September 17, 2010 • Musings, The Daily Dish

It’s hard to believe that in three short weeks, our site hit 1 million page views.

I joke that it’s my mom hitting the reload button. But really, we know that it’s because of you, our loyal, inquisitive, discerning readers who challenge us to get better every day.

And while we knew that there were thousands of people out there who are reading our content, perusing our photo galleries and complaining about our comments page — hey, we fixed it, right? — we were still floored by the turnout at last night’s official launch party at Ka Restaurant & Lounge.

Hundreds of you stood in line, took my abuse as you signed in and mingled with other like-minded folks — most of whom had Twitter names on their nametags — to support our site.

And honestly, we couldn’t have done it without you.

We are tickled, humbled and, most of all, grateful for your support.

And for those of you who couldn’t make it, here’s what last night looked like, at least from my perspective:

One of my favorite things about Japan is the ability to jump on a train and be somewhere refreshingly different in a matter of minutes.

    Hello Cat!
    I missed a great event. 🙁
    I had an obligation that I couldn’t miss.

    Lots of beautiful people in the pix! “Then you had to go and spoil it all…” by having one with OFP (Old, Fat, and Poor)!!! Guud chance to meet the rest of the NS crew and personally thank JG for fixing the log in stuff so that I can comment without going through doors Nos. 1 thru 5…and leap the 8 firewalls!!!???

    • Reply cat September 16, 2010 at 9:55 pm

      @Annoddah_Dave LOL! I’m glad you went to talk to JG about that. He worked SO hard to fix that problem! Thanks for coming down! Good to see you!

    And I though you coined the term “Fuud”. I stand corrected. Yeah, where are the fuud pics?

    • Reply cat September 16, 2010 at 9:54 pm

    Hey! You wore makeup! Well, I’ll be damned.

  • Reply WildeOscar September 17, 2010 at 8:10 pm

    The FUUD pics are always a great start to the weekend, but seeing pics of Cat having fun and wearing a little black dress in a crowd also having a blast makes me forget about FUUD.

  • Reply dbjack September 17, 2010 at 10:00 pm

    A million views??? That’s a lot of blog clicking going on. But seriously, until I can come home I suppose I will have to settle for NS. BTW, there is a Swedish candy called Nonstop, a dark chocolate slightly thicker shell M&M that is unbelievably good. Kind of how I feel about this site, unbelievably good. Congrats guys! You are filling a lot of homesick Kama’aina’s needs for knowing what is going on back home.

    Hey Cat, some chick that looks like you was at this party wearing make-up….

    • Reply cat September 18, 2010 at 5:01 am

      @dbjack I told my mom to stop hitting “refresh.” LOL

      Yeah, look at that makeup job! I could pass for a drag queen! 🙂

    • Reply dbjack September 18, 2010 at 5:15 am

      @Cat 🙂 Yep, my mom is on her computer for hours everyday chatting… nuts. As for the makeup… no ways you evah look like a drag queen. It was a surprise no doubt but nicely done. BTW: my favorite radio DJ here in Raleigh, NC is ‘Kitty’ Kinnin. And she is a Fuud nut like you… cool eh?

  • Reply MaxMaxMax September 18, 2010 at 7:19 am

    Hey, the Star-Advertiser kickin’ you guys off of their blogs was the best thing for you all… this site has waaaaaaay more of a community feeling than the other. Plus, once the commenting bugs were worked out, it facilitates following the comments much better than the old blogs did!

    Congrats on a million views so far! Hey, I only have a couple hundred K views on my Flickr site for three years of posting there. So your achievement of a mill in less than a month is most admirable!
