This could be going to my target (thanks again for the glass, @MacMalt).

Semi-hint, I see what you did there. Nice!
But excludes me!

 

Does it?

 

And now I am out. Michigan has 2

 

Not trying to be critical or anything, but you are not using a wall here... Still effective I imagine though.

 

HOLY SHIT... I go to Tampa Bay beer week and miss like 10 pages..... I am spending today catching up on work. then I will dive into hints and finding out who my sender is.

Oh.. I hope my Target likes Angry Chair Beers and Arkane Sours.

 

Some of us are better at Sudoku than Crosswords - just sayin'
But I will state that I am definitely *trying* to figure out what some of these hints mean, just for the mental exercise if nothing else.

 

Good luck with that.

 

What was the occasion? Opening something from 1973 had to mean something!

 

Said the man who has a rotating series of clues for different persons who may or may not be his target.

 

No special occasion. Just decided it was time.

 

I'll give kudos here without spoiling the hint lol but my goodness I love that particular musician right there. That video seems so weird and spur of the moment too. He is such an incredible acoustic player. Like a young Tommy Emmanuel
