Also, before I forget: I’ll be playing Alex Trebek for a little geek trivia contest next Friday night. (That’s September 3, a week from this Friday.) The gamer expo PAX is in town, and a local social media marketing company called Banyan Branch will be hosting an after-party at Neumos featuring all manner of music and awesomeness. Looks to me like interested parties can RSVP here.

And Wordplay Wednesday. I’m thinking of a common English word that, if you spell it backwards, becomes its own plural…in French! (Both French and English versions should be familiar to monolingual but mildly educated English speakers.) What’s the word?

Edited to add: le mot en question est ici.
