Keep It Up! (with Dan Schwartz)
Today I'm very excited to post a collab with ACPT star, Twitch cryptic solver, and adorable cat owner Dan Schwartz. You may know him from his Twitch channel danandbabka, where he solves puzzles with his cat Babka. After seeing his Tabula Rasa clues and meeting him at ACPT, I knew I had to make a puzzle with Dan, and this experience did not disappoint! He came up with both of our 15s in the theme, and I think there's a ton of good stuff from both of us in this puzzle. (And a secret shout out to this Robyn Weintraub puzzle from 2014, which we more or less stole the grid shape from after a great deal of struggling to find a grid that worked.)
From Dan:
"I met Rose at ACPT and she said she'd like to collaborate on a puzzle if I had any ideas. I sent her something extremely dumb and she turned it into something great because Rose is a genius. This puzzle was really fun to make and I hope everyone enjoys it! Thank you again to Rose!!"
On a logistical note, if you can use the Crosshare applet (or print/download from the applet) instead of using the puz file, please do--we're including the puz for the sake of the bots, but we had to change a few clues that puz couldn't support. And thanks to Kate for test solving! Her blog just hit its one year anniversary, so if you inexplicably haven't done her puzzles, 1. how are you even here, and 2. please do them immediately.
