I suck at just about every one of the traditional bar sports: darts, pool, Golden Tee, you name it. Depending on the amount of booze consumption, I'm either "white hot" or "white not" at pub quizzes. About the only time I don't lose all my superpowers when I step into a bar is when I'm playing a show in one. Go figure.</p>
<p>Speaking of booze and rock, my latest anthology is dropping shortly. In case you've forgotten, it's titled: "Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll Crosswords." There's plans for a book & body part signing slash crossword contest in the greater Boston area in the Spring. (Details to come shortly, so watch this space.) Plus, I'll be giving away some copies through this very site. But in the meantime, if you can't wait, you can pre-order it <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1402772130/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=brenemmequig-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1402772130" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

It's one of those gift-wrapped beauties that it seems almost impossible that that wasn't the seed entry just to showcase that factoid. Alas, it was not. As is the case with grids shaped like these, the seed entries were the long entries at 19-, 31-, 43-, and 55-Across with 20-Down holding them in place. Before I stray too far from the topic of cluing, three cheers for 60-Down, eh? Gotta love thoroughly modern clues for tired answers.</p>
<p>In the odd chance you missed it, I co-wrote Saturday's New York Times puzzle with Caleb Madison. Do it here: [<a href="http://www.brendanemmettquigley.com/files/Feb0412.pdf" target="_blank">PDF</a>] [<a href="http://www.brendanemmettquigley.com/files/Feb0412.puz">Across Lite</a>]</p>
