Puzzle Notes

Dear subscribers: 

"Get Back in There," the latest from Francis Heaney, is attached. It is 4/5 in difficulty. Francis has a couple of great year-end lists on his blog. They're music-related, so they won't help with the crossword, but they won't *not* help, either.

Meanwhile, an archive of all the 2013 AVCX puzzles (excluding the bonuses) is now available for purchase. Click here if you subscribed to the AVCX recently and need to catch up on all of last year's famous crosswords.

Finally, this is a quick plug for Deb Amlen's newest gig. Deb has contributed many puzzles to the AV Club, and is a wonderful humorist/critic of internet things in addition to being a noted constructor. She was recently named a senior columnist for Yahoo, where she now writes a weekly column called Buzzology: http://www.yahoo.com/tech/tagged/buzzology Check it out, and big ups to our friend Deb. 

Yours,

-Ben and the AVCX crew [avxwords.com]
