You have a ranked list in your head. You have had it for years, and you have never once been allowed to read it out loud — not to your coworkers, not at dinner, not to the friend who says she likes that one song. Somewhere in a boba shop in West Covina there is a room full of people who will not only sit through your argument, they have prepared their own, and they have dressed for the occasion. That is the part that gets you: the dress code is business casual. Grown adults will put on a blazer to attend an awards ceremony for two men who will never know it happened, and nobody in the room will find that funny, because it isn't. It is a scripted award show with real categories, fan-voted, winners announced live, plus vendor tables and a gifting suite for people who came empty-handed and could not stand it. Entry is free. Saturday, October 3, noon to 4 PM, Guanyin Tea House on South Glendora Avenue. Whatever you had ranked first, someone in that room is about to argue you down, and you are going to enjoy losing.
