"Cover Band" - July 1, 2022

#1

Post by Wendy Walker »

Hello, Muggles!

I have the privilege of filling in for Cruise Director Bob, who is having some "i" problems (i.e., issues with his internet).

Please check out the Acapulco Lounge for details about the upcoming New England Muggle Meet-up on August 4 at @Dannyvee's restaurant - Vee Vee - in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, Mass.

Here's hoping everyone has a great Fourth of July holiday to celebrate the birth of America.

The answer to this week's contest crossword is a well-known singer.

EDIT: Solved, 4:18 p.m.
