Puzzle Notes

Dear Friends:

Please welcome to crossword puzzledom, Mira Martin-Gray and Niamh Girling, whose co-authored debut puzzle is called "Use Your Illusion," and is 2.5/5 difficulty! Hooray!

Mira and Niamh love crosswords and each other. They began constructing together as a way to liven up a holiday card for family and friends (sample: Sonic the Hedgehog's holiday booty? FIVE GOLDEN RINGS). They are both active in the local experimental music scene in Toronto.

AND Mira has a new album which is "a rebuke against transphobia, evoking the quotidian to the utopian with domestic appliances, abstract electronics, and alien kissy noises." You can (and should) hear it here! I bought my own advance copy already, and if you're into experimental music it's highly recc'ed.

Be well,

Ben and the AVCX crew
