It’s a new year and the beginning of a new decade. It’s time to put the past behind and look forward to the new. ere’s much that we can celebrate in the rst decade of the 21st century, and events that will remain infamous forever. I celebrate 2010 and the coming decade, and look forward to years of doing what I love: publishing the Southern California Gaming GuideTM and now, our expanded awesome web site, the Gaming GuideTM.
