PORTLAND, OR – Satirical news site The Pith Report (www.pithreport.com) is celebrating one year and 142 published stories on Tuesday. “What a long, bumpy ride it’s been,” Head Writer Joel Wayne told a chuckling crowd of employees, donors, and fans. “You might say we ‘faked it ’til we made it.’ And I’m sure some of you would say we’re still faking it! Hey-o!” Wayne invited anyone interested to join them today at their world headquarters in Portland on the corner of 23rd and Lovejoy from 10 – 8 for complimentary cake, balloons, and commemorative t-shirts to celebrate TPR’s one-year milestone. The first thousands attendees will also receive a coupon for one free game of laser tag at Laserport in Beaverton. “I’d really like to lift my glass and thank all of you – staff writers, editors, our webmasters, Bryan, Logan, and Eli, and especially our readers and our fans. You are our support and truly our inspiration for continuing this little adventure. Cheers.” Continued Wayne: “Everyone stick around and get something to eat and drink. El Gaucho is catering. And there will be dancing a little later in the afternoon.”
