For my 200th Green Felt Journal, I took a look back at the first 199 columns:
My first GFJ came in the first issue of Vegas Seven, released February 4, 2010. The column itself (and its name) was the brainchild of then-editor Phil Hagen; it’s a take on Ed Reid and Ovid Demaris’ anti-Vegas potboiler, The Green Felt Jungle (see “The Book That Tried to End Las Vegas” for the whole story on that volume).
My first thought was, “that’s a lot of columns.” It was a bit humbling to browse the archives and see some of what I’ve written.
