Big thanks to everyone who was able to chip in this mid-summer drive. If you haven’t received the bonus puzzles for some reason, let me know and I’ll rectify that problem right away. And as promised, our randomly selected winner of “Drunk Crosswords” is Michael Savett. Cheers.
Couple other announcements now that I’m thinking about it. Boswords approacheth. Boston has been without a crossword tournament for a while now, but no more. Boswords is on August 6th, so that’s a little more than a month away. It’s curated by John Lieb and Andrew Kingsley, and they managed to convince me and my friends Joon Pahk, Laura Braunstein, and David Quarfoot to make puzzles for it. Hot damn. Better still, first prize is a free boat to next year’s American Crossword Puzzle Tournament. So what are you waiting for? It’s cheap and it’s in my back yard. Sign up at the link above.
And if there’s not enough puzzles for you out there, may I recommend my pal Andrew Ries’s lovely “Stagger Sessions?” Andrew (Aries to the players) put together a 20-puzzle EP of sorts, which probably means he’s a fan or Guided By Voices (who regularly put out EPs of 10 or more songs) or Fiery Furnaces (whose one stellar “EP” is longer than many many albums). But I digress. Music and puzzles? That’s a win-win in chez BEQ. So if you don’t mind, head over there and pick up a copy will ya? Cheers.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
Out of my wheelhouse, but a puzzle that mentions any member of the attention-seeking whores of the 39A clan owes the solver a debt that can never be repaid.
28A typo. Should be “Monthly bill.” Fun puzzle!
