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! :D

It’s here: viewtopic.php?t=1975&start=20#p115573
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.)

Stuck on the couch watching an endless list of themed movies.
I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.

I was sure I had the answer but it got rejected by crosshare. Back to the drawing board with lots of ideas. Fun puzzle.

Off the couch, but I had a hard time letting go of an idea I knew was wrong. I needed a kick to remind of what i should have known all along. Solid puzzle.

Thought this was going to be another; "oh crap everyone sees it but me" and if I had kept going with my initial concept it would have been. Luckily I got an idea of something that might be afoot and it was off the couch with a chuckle seconds after.

I guess Peter considers this the Morning After meta so I can forget the mistakes I made on my deplorable date with Matt Gaffney.

Off the couch - YAY!

All my years studying trigonometry paid off! Thanks, @Abide! (Sorry for the tangent.)

Oh, yeah, there's a meta. Off I go!

Edit: Lovely and kind of what I was thinking, haha. Great minds think alike, Peter! (And so do ours.)

I was hoping to view the grid of the whole puzzle so I could verify all of my answers. Any help, anyone?

I used the Crosshare link and then revealed the puzzle. (Other muggles please note that this is last week's puzzle!) The completed grid looks like this:

See KayW grid in original thread

Puz files and Crosshare files have reveal options, by the way.
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! :D

Couldn't look until this morning. But, I am off the couch now. Enjoyed it, Peter.
I especially liked the clue for 24A.
