Dear friends,
Tomorrow and Sunday are the 34th annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament at the Brooklyn Bridge Marriott, in Brooklyn, NY. This will be my 8th year of competition, along with my father (who missed last year because of a broken leg, so this is his 7th time, and now he's able to compete in the over-70 division, so he's very excited) and my sister (it's her rookie season).
In past years, I have emailed and/or blogged updates after each puzzle (there are 7 of them), with commentary on the more interesting clues/answers and the OCD-like behavior of my fellow cruciverbalists. Based on feedback from the reader (thanks, Mom!), emails seem to be preferred, since they are easily accessed from Blackberries. But the blog allows me to post photos of other competitors and crossword glitterati (including the elusive Will Shortz). So I'm going to do both.
If you want to receive the updates, do nothing. If you don't, just reply with the message "unsubscribe" in the subject line. Or you could reply with "odjaviti," which is Croatian for "unsubscribe"--that'll work too! Or you could just mark them as spam.
Fans of the blog (at dansingercrosswords.blogspot.com) know of last year's surreal, occasionally harrowing, tournament experience--if you still haven't unsubscribed, take a look at last year's blog and that will clinch it for you.
Dan
