I have a funny feeling I might have found the Pageant. If so, I think maybe I'll enjoy it more than the actual answer.

I have left the pageant. This was a fun one. I’d say the cluing is Fireball-worthy. Excellent grid.

The couch is free!
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Just back from a vacation that involved widely varied activities -- and what a pleasure to find an Abide-authored MMM!

Thanks for the meta. Full disclosure: I got a nudge from another Muggle (and wouldn't have gotten the meta without the nudge.)

Off the couch (according to crosshare.org) and on to the beach.
