Dear Pirate making some LJ rounds

It looks like the first appearance of Monkey Pirate is quite the hit on the Live Journal circuit, giving the ol' site a healthy boost of hits. Right now I've surpassed the number of hits related to the number of fliers handed out at Wizard World Philly. Heck, I think I hit that number within the first two weeks.
Right now, the site is showing steady growth and that's great, because really the "official" launch of the site - where it starts to really explode on my grand plan - is still a couple of weeks away.
The first landmark is Thursday, July 20. It's the first official day of Comic Con in San Diego. That's where I'll be going into HEAVY promotion, and things should start picking up. If all goes well, we'll be rolling heavy in hits on July 23 (though hopefully not crashing the site - I have contingency plans for that, and honestly doubt that anything short of a penny arcade link, a USA Today article and a mention on all three free news networks could harm that plan).
Now, the strips for July 6 and July 13 are on schedule. There shouldn't even be a hint of a problem there. But the strip for the 20th? That one will be tricky, as I'm pretty sure I'll be without internet on July 14 to about July 25. Hopefully I'll get something up there before the con, giving readers a whole eight strips to peruse. The secondary Dear Pirate project will start some time after the convention, too.
The other major milestone is set for August 3, for so so many reasons. It'll be the 10th week of the strip and again I'll be promoting it at a convention at that week. That week will also be when it gets submitted to some of the bigger webcomic lists, and when the first Dear Pirate shirts and tank tops are printed. Joy Times!
Well, back to a super-secret project that I'm building up for San Diego. More on that later if it becomes less than super-secret (though it does already have its own webpage. No, not that super-secret project. And not that one, either, but I'll be on that later. Yeah, that one.).
Later
