Win Tickets To Our Tenth Anniversary Party
We told you enough about the party yesterday to whet your collective appetite, but now we want to make sure that you join our celebration. We're giving away ten pairs of tickets to the readers who impress us most with the answer to a very simple question.
And that question is ...
What is the best thing that came out in 2001 that is still around?
It can be a book, a film, a song, a person ... or something else altogether. The only limit is that it had to have come out in 2001. (We will be checking.)

GTA III, released in October 2001, is one of the most influential, and successful, games ever made.
It changed the way games are both made and played, and really opened the doors to 'mature' gaming and the idea that video gaming wasn't just for kids, more than any other game before it.
Clearly The Beijinger, but if we were going to go with something else it would be the San Diego Chargers drafting future Hall of Famer and All Time Single Season Scoring Leader, LaDainian Tomlinson. And yes, I realize I am in Beijing referencing American Football.
GO BOLTZ!
I've got mine already, but for the record - best 2001 release:
