March 26, 2007 - After 57 days and countless posts (actually its more like 142), reaching 47 states and 41 countries, The Weight attracts it's 1,000th unique visitor.
We can honestly say that we had no expectation of reaching such a milestone, not just this quickly, but ever. To the rest of the WeightStaff, I feel that I can best sum up my appreciation for your hard work thus far by relaying my feelings about your contributions in a song:
Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
Cause you know
I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see
you tonight
---Vanessa Carlton
Cheers mates.

"What a long, strange trip it's been" -- well, not quite that long or that strange, but looking forward to the next 1000 visits...
Cheers!
