MEOW #104 Top Down Shout Out
First order of business is an announcement (or reminder if you've checked the calendar lately - Thanks, Peter) that there will be no MEOW puzzle next Wednesday, November 23rd. The cat will be too busy getting underfoot amid all the kitchen preparations to even think about crawling into a bag. But s/he'll pick up right where s/he left off on the 30th.
Now to this week's puzzle --Top Down Shout Out --
I'm never certain of the difficulty rating.
The grid probably comes in at a Persian, and the meta? Umm...one of those you either see quickly... or maybe not.
Thanks to the backup singers (aka testers) @Cap'n Rick, @MarkWoychick, and @DrTom.
And let's hear it for @Joe Ross on the drums (tech).
PMs and nudges as usual.

Sorry @Dplass -- It's smack in the middle -- I should probably include this each time since I too sometimes forget --

I've been alerted that there wasn't an option to submit on Crosshare.
I've gone back and I hope corrected that, but there may still be a lag while it updates.
We'll see if it worked!

A reverse nudge a la @Cap'n Rick, but not even camouflaged -- The theme here is not music!

I could watch that GIF for an unhealthy amount of time.

I kind of had to solve this one, what with having my name right there on the top row:)

If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

I struggled with this until I went to the spreadsheet. Thanks to Joe Ross I was able to 1A (clue).

Awaiting nudges in the fullness of time. (Ooh, that reminds me: I need to post the MOAT nudges!)
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

Thanks, David.
Yup, I'll send out some nudges tomorrow night -- just in time for Ben to see them as he's rising bright-eyed & etc.
And reveal will be posted Tuesday, just in time to clear the deck for the next MEOW on, uh.... Wednesday!
