Second annual Thank Your First Commenter Day

shut down

Neil Kramer knows that we are nothing without our commenters. And I know I am nothing without Neil Kramer, who is not only one of my more loyal commenters, but one of my most famous, if you count blogging as some kind of fame. And I do. Oh, boy, do I ever.

And so, on the eve of this year’s Thanksgiving holiday, I am participating in Neil’s second annual Thank Your First Commenter Day.

My great thanks this year go out to my pal, Heseon Park, journalist extraordinaire and fellow student in Sewing for Total Idiots at LACC, who commented almost exactly two years ago on my post about one of the last shows I was to act in, the 2004 iteration of Ken Roht’s annual “99ยข show.”

My great thanks almost went out to Mari, who left a comment on an earlier post about listmaking. But Mari didn’t leave her comment on my November 10th post until May of the following year. And in the blogosphere, timeliness is everything.

So I’ll trot off to Neil’s now, to leave my own timely comment on his timely post, lest what happened to Mari happen to me…

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving!

  1. Since we are thanking bloggers, I should admit that I discovered you long before I actually commented on YOUR blog. In one of my first posts, I used you as my muse “Dinah,” and talked about our shared love for Eric Rohmer’s Summer on YMDB.

    Happy Thanksgiving.

  2. Nice.. unfortunately, Blogger doesn’t require email addys for commenting, so I’m not able to do this.

    A great idea, though.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you both.

  3. Happy ‘Thanks’ to you lady. And thanks for always writing.

  4. Hope you had the best Thanksgiving ever!

    Neil – I am touched! We just watched another favorite Rohmer (Full Moon in Paris) last night. Not as sweetly perfect as Rayon Vert, but oh-so satisfying.

    Peggy – I didn’t actually email my person (although now you mention it, maybe I should). I think posting publicly is enough.

    annie – I hope you had a lovely day. I hope *every* day for you is lovely.

    Suzer – It wasn’t bad, until the UTI I woke up w/ yesterday. Bleh. Total holiday buzzkill.

  6. I assume this means “…First Commenter Not Known IRL Day.”
