When Falls the Coliseum launched exactly one year ago, with our first post appearing on June 3rd, 2008, at 1:32 p.m. We have published more than 700 posts since then, and now have more than 40 contributors. This sort of hard data should impress you.

Since it’s our birthday, we expect that you’ll buy us something sparkly. And get us an ice cream cake. Don’t disappoint us. Oh, your budget is stretched as it is? Lucky for you, what we really want for our birthday doesn’t cost any money. What we really want is more readers. Thousands more. How about you e-mail a dozen friends and invite them to the party, announce us on Facebook and Twitter, maybe wear one of those sandwich boards with our URL in large print and find a good spot in a crowded intersection. You know, tell lots of people how much fun it is over here. Lie if you must and tell them we’ve got a keg and no cover charge.

Thanks to all our contributors and readers in year one, it’s been great fun so far. Here’s to year two having even more excellent posts and to the many new readers who’ll discover us.
