Bob-I have to help you out—eliminate Seriema. First, it is not the answer, and second it sounds like a urological disease (or Venus’ sister).

OTC as well. I’m proud of myself for actually knowing one. Just one.
Nice job, Brian!

Unconfirmed OTC. Excellent puzzle.
I needed google at times, which is my answer to 24A.
I wasn't around for Pageant, but anyone have flashbacks?

Got it! I will be impressed if anyone solved this without heavy surfing.

My son helped me solve the grid. We were cracking up at the clues. He ditched me when the grid was finished, but I’m 🛋.

OTC. Well done.
Thanks for the free puzzle.
(And I agree, it'd be very impressive for someone to get this without heavy surfing.)

The clue for 12-Down seems to have been cut off the bottom of the PDF. I think the answer is still pretty inferrable from the cut-off clue, "Janis Joplin's second," but the full clue should actually read: "Janis Joplin's second and final studio album."

Of the couch!
Not much google needed for the grid, but couldn't get the answer without it.
Amused by some of the cluing, fun puzzle!

Thanks. I got it because she did not have a second of anything else (and the cross words).

Hard to believe it's been 50 years since she died. I went to bed with "I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama" album on the turntable, and woke up to a radio DJ reporting the awful news.Bob cruise director wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:19 amThanks.

Busy day yesterday, and solved this morning without much insight. Reading all the "you must Google" comments gave me the nudge I needed. Great meta, flawless fill and cluing.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

That was a fun - and educational - solve. Thanks, Brian!
