On July 28th my subscriber count doubled. At first I couldn’t account for the sudden spike in readership. Then I remembered something (barely) about that night I got stoned with my lawyer.
Before we got high we went to a bar in San Francisco and saw an 80s cover band play. The band finished their set and everyone started chanting “one more song! one more song!” Someone grabbed the microphone and handed it to me. I yelled “one more song!” a few times. Then I yelled “IF IT FEELS GOOD DO IT DOT COM!” as loud as I could. Just kidding, I didn’t yell it as loud as I could but I yelled it loud.
It’s funny to think that half of the people that subscribe to this blog are people that heard me yell the name of a random website in a bar, remembered the name of the website even though they were drunk, and then went home and looked it up. Then after all that, they subscribed.
If you are one of those people, clearly you are in the Ian Bowman demographic. Thank you for that.
Incidentally, if you are into this blog in addition to subscribing you can
- Comment - Comments are good.
- Correspond Privately - Some people I know never comment but correspond with me privately regarding what I write on this blog. They tell me what they like and what they don’t like. I take what they say heavily into consideration when choosing what kinds of stuff I write about. If you want to discuss something my email address is listed in the contact page.
Any feedback is important because I write this blog for the people that read it. People like you.
However you found it, thank you for being a person who reads ifitfeelsgooddoit.com.

The IfItFeelsGoodDoIt-mobile will be running from neighborhood to neighborhood throughout the world. It has a big sign on it with the domain name and giant speakers playing live broadcasts of the Raider games and screaming “if it feels good do it dot com” every 5 seconds.

Wow. So friendly sounding. These days I’d expect Ian 2008 to say something more like:
“Any feedback is, at minimum, entertaining to me. If you are offended by what I write here, then clearly you are either, celibate, Canadian, or a Patriots fan and can fuck off because I write this blog for me myself and I.”

Ally - Just hand me your bra. Or throw it at me. I might get Lost In Love inside of it, though.
Allen - Dude, that is an awesome idea! I was thinking of merely putting an “ifitfeelsgooddoit.com” sticker on my truck. Clearly I need to invest in a mobile PA system.
Mr. Levy - Hahaha. Well, that’s true. Or a Chargers fan.

Ally:
Just make sure if you throw it his way, don’t take it back. Otherwise there might be Tears In Heaven.

alden - Hahaha. Man, someone listens to too much KOIT.
But yeah, we definitely don’t want that.

How many subscribers do you have now ian? I started reading this after you spilled the address at lunch…I remember you said something like.. “MY WEBSITE IS IFITFEELSGOODDOIT DOT COM. IT’S ALL ONE WORD. ” Then a muslim said something like “if it feels good?” and you repeated “YES IFITFEELSGOODDOIT DOT COM”

oh yeah want to go to lunch again sometime?

thebaglady - I remember it as follows. You asked me about my blog. I said the url was “ifitfeelsgooddoit.com.” Then you said in your typical definitive and somewhat annoying manner “that’s too long.” Then “a muslim” said “no wonder you don’t have any readers.” Then I told you both to shut the fuck up.
Later, Jim who was also at that lunch sent me an email and said “Your blog is pretty damn funny, man.” And you began secretly reading my blog to match the secret crush you had on me. And the rest, is history. Now you and Jim are one of around 40 subscribers.
Sure, lunch again sometime sounds good

Sure Ian, I’ll get it to you asap…just don’t go trying to use it for your monkey hut—it’s not THAT big!

Alden: more like if he gave it back I’d have to burn it b/c it’d probably be infested with a dose of the clap (or syph).
I read your blog Ian, I know that you’re indulging in that Rock’n Roll lifestyle. =)

Ally - I love it when a girl has cute nicknames for common STDs. Just my type.
