I guess we've reached some level of legitimacy, eh? ;) Anyway, Nicole was trying to set up and interview with me yesterday, but it was late in the day and we weren't able to connect. I didn't think the article was going to be published so quickly. Oh well. The mention is great though.

Right on Greg!

I the news last night they said that Boston has already exceeded it's total snow fall for the full year. You know people have to be thinking about skiing when there is a foot of snow on the ground in the city.

No...we want almost everyone to think about vacations to Florida and the Caribbean.

Good stuff...looks like AZ is moving up in the world.



(OK, we want enough people to think about skiing so that the ski areas do well.)

Greg better watch out or else before he knows it he'll have the paparazzi following him around the slopes :)

Congrats on the good press!

Too bad though that Steeze didn't get the love. Maybe the press will just save that for when the New York Times put AZ on it's front page!

That's awesome! I wonder how many people will venture over here after they read the article??

Very cool.

It would be interesting to see a graph of the daily web traffic for this site after a week or two... just to see if there was an uncharacteristically high jump.

There was a thread back I believe in October about hits/month (I can't quite get the correct search parameters to dig it back up), so the data can be had.

It will be curious to see what event caused a bigger jump, the mention in the Globe, or Grilled Steeze Sandwich joining ;) My bets are on GSS!

Amazing, this kind of recognition for a website full of people who "seem like rejected Jeopardy contestants."

GSS is probably glad he didn't get a mention, why would he want public association with a forum so full of gapers?
