Off to Brooklyn!
So Dan and I are set to roll out to Brooklyn, to the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament (http://www.crosswordtournament.com/), hosted by Will Shortz of the NYTimes Puzzle & NPR, and featured in the delightful 2006 film "Wordplay" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0492506/). I'm nervous, but pretty psyched to hang out with people who share my somewhat fanatical devotion to the NYTimes crossword puzzle -- people who know what orts, efts, and the Villa d'Este are (if you have to ask...). I'll try to update as we go along, and if nothing else, the puzzle has already sucked me into the blogosphere, so I suppose that's progress. Or is it the Borg? Hmmm....more to come!

You are going to have so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteHelp!, please. I am in town rarely visiting Tom & Judy and since Dan isn't around ... need help with a complicated crossword myself. Please ask Dan the following:
ReplyDelete46 Across. Clue: Reprobate who skips drinking, dancing & cavorting at live musical event in favor of insipid quest for crossword nirvana. Three letters, starts with "D", ends with "N".
56 Down. Clue: Panty waist. Starts with "N" and read downward is "N","A","N""C""Y""B""O" and the last letter is what I need.
Thanks Dan!
xxoo Bill Fogarty!
