Puzzle Notes
Dear Friends:
Laura Braunstein is up with a 3/5 puzzle called "Agency Reform." Laura is donating her payment from this puzzle -- more details to come with next week's puzzle. (Don't want to spoil anything).
It was great seeing those who I saw at Lollapuzzoola this past weekend. For those who didn't make it, you can still get the puzzles here. Thanks to Brian Cimmet and Patrick Blindauer, who always put on an amazing tournament.
Oh, and speaking of Laura Braunstein! She is one of a number of editors, constructors, and supportive humans in the new wave of crosswords profiled by Peter Rubin in an article in this month's Wired magazine. The article is here.
See ya soon,
Ben and the AVCX crew
