As a spinoff of the “lesser books” meme on Twitter (taking a classic book title and making it mundane, trivial, or otherwise lesser), someone started in on “lesser plays.”

I came up with a few:

  • Less Miserable (admittedly this one’s a gimme)
  • Spring Just-a-few-more-minutes-before-I-wake-up.
  • The Importance of being Ernie.
  • Eleven Mildly-Annoyed Guys
  • The Prince and I
  • The Rose Temporary Tattoo

The latest seasonal beer at Oggi’s* is The Schwartz, a Belgian IPA. And just in case the “May the Schwartz Be With You” tagline wasn’t clear enough…well, check out the poster:

Sorry about the image quality. I wasn’t sampling the brew, it’s just the phone camera in low lighting.

*Oggi’s (pronounced OH-jeez) is a chain of pizza & brewery restaurants in Southern California, mostly in San Diego and Orange County.

Stopped for coffee on the way to Anaheim Comic Con. Yes, actually, I am wearing a Flash T-shirt. Why do you ask?

Me in a Flash T-shirt posing with Flash and Black Flash cosplayers.

Even better, the rest of the convention center was taken up by a coffee convention! (For the uninitiated: There’s a running gag in the current Flash relaunch about how much coffee people drink in Central City…especially Iris Allen.)

Follow-up: read my full convention report and check out my photos.
