Best. April. Fools’. Day. Ever.

I had nancies.org change its focus from Dave Matthews Band to John Mayer for the day. It took me about six hours this weekend to set up, but it was totally worth it. I mean, how often do you get to play a hugely-intricate prank on ~75,000 people? We got nearly 1,000 pieces of e-mail. It was insane. My favorite e-mail was the sort from people that had actually fallen out of their chair laughing, waking up their entire house with the commotion. Some people, though, were really angry. I mean, threats, statements about my sexual preference, sanitary habits, the whole nine yards. I can see being upset, even angry, but threats? I mean, come on, it’s just a band fan site.

Anyhow, a good time was had by all. See the run-down for the full story.
