Forge Puzzle Meet-up!
September 21, 2009 - 8:41pm
OK, looks like we have us a meeting place!
Anyone working on the Saturday puzzle and wanting to help or be helped, we'll be at the Lovin Cup Cafe near RIT on Saturday at 2 PM with our newspapers! Map link is here - http://tinyurl.com/l8kszx .
Then on Sunday, we'll have an online meet via Facebook for Crossword collaboration.
Same time, virtual place - friend me or Angel for details.
Forge members preferred, of course, since it looks like the other teams don't need much help at all! :)

On the crossword don't bother with the whole thing, just the parts that give you the key letters ... and once you get most you might be able to figure out the code. If you're stuck on a particular clue, let me know and I can help. And when in doubt, google!
Main thing to worry about in the Grill puzzle is those *(^*&* hot dogs. I'd make a bigger grid and use checkers or something that are easier to move around than little paper dogs.
Once I got two of the grills I used highlighters to find most of the answer and then extrapolated. :)

Non-FB users and others interested - I'll try to be in the online chat room http://tinyurl.com/l6mhef during at least the Online meetup time, possibly during the Lovin Cup time as well.

On Sunday, I will be online on FB/Twitter from 2-4 to help with the crossword. We can coordinate with any questions coming up in the Forge Forum as well. Micci

I propose...
...that if the puzzle is not in the Saturday paper (like last week) that the face-to-face meeting gets moved to Sunday and held concurrently with the online meetup (I'll bring my laptop and they DO have WiFi).
Otherwise, no change in plans, I'll be ready both days!

Somewhere - in another post - I saw that this weekend's puzzles will be in Saturday and Sunday. That should make it easier this week.

Shilfiell,
I tried twice to get into the online chat and couldn't connect. I hope you are watching this. There is a new post on the 'watchman' site. Love to hear your feedback. You can find me on Facebook.

Hi Tara - sorry you missed us! I was on Facebook but I don't know your facebook ID and didn't see any chat windows pop up, so I didn't even TRY to get into the Java chat! At least today's points get awarded to us automatically anyway :(
We WILL be around tomorrow, online only, until we have to leave for Scvngr at 5!
I need help on the crossword and puzzle. Any suggestions??
