CATCH 3 and Coachella

Sunday morning.....

CATCH Episode 3 (on Youtube) has been attracting an unusually high amount of hits/views over the past few days. I can't quite figure out why. CATCH 3 was viewed 75 times on Friday, April 17 and 300 + times yesterday, Saturday, April 18th.

300+ views is a huge spike compared to the 10 or so daily average to this point. 300+ views that came on a SATURDAY no less... hits are usually less frequent on the weekend.

Youtube's traffic reports leave much to be desired... but I WAS able to determine that about 85% of the hits were coming from an external link. I traced that external link back to a message board site caled Runboard.com.

Thats about as far as I got. I havent been able to locate the specific post or link... but I'd love to know where all the traffic is coming from.

Nobody is rating the episode or leaving comments, and the spike in views isnt translating into more trafiic to any of my other sites... still... 300+ on a Saturday... interesting....

Going to Coachella today with a couple of my new bestest buddies out here in LA. Its gonna be a scorcher. It's been really comfortable in LA for the past few weeks... few months actually.... but today and for the next couple of days, Its sunny, clear and in the high 80's, whihc means its gonna be HOT in the desert...
