Puzzle Notes
Hello, friends -- we're psyched to introduce you to another AVCX Cryptic newcomer, Brad LeBeau! Brad is an avid puzzle solver who works in film and TV post-production and is based in Los Angeles. He has been an amateur constructor for a little while, but earlier this year he had his first professionally published (non-cryptic) crossword in USA Today. When he's not watching movies for his job, he's probably watching them for fun, or binge watching the British quiz show "Only Connect" (which he may or may not have made people play at his birthday party this year). He would like to give a huge thanks to Francis and the test-solvers for getting his AVCX debut into shape, and he hopes you enjoy it!
I hope you enjoy it, too, whether you solve on paper, in your favorite solving app, or
online (with your AVCX login)! In other news, I recently had the pleasure of appearing on Tom Scott's "Lateral" podcast (available at all your standard podcast locations). Tom graciously allowed me to plug AVCX's membership drive, so I thought it only fair to return the favor and plug him back. If you like British panel shows, you'll love his podcast (and probably the new book based on it as well). Oh, and speaking of our
membership drive, we're always appreciative of anyone who subscribes at any level, or just helps to spread the word! Thanks for being a supporter of our weird little thing.
Power to the puzzlers --
-- Francis (and the AVCX Cryptic crew)
