I suspect the Zoom call is going to be crowded today.

Can't get near the crowded bar - someone pass me a cold one. Funny thing is that when I finished the grid, there seemed to be so many clues that I thought the meta would come

First chance I've had to take a good look. Nothing pinging. See you all on zoom!

Wish I could make the zoom this week, seeing I completed the grid before the call, for once. But I'll be driving. And I've heard you shouldn't meta and drive.

Do we need an invite to get into the Discord group? I am new to Discord and struggling to find it.

On shore with help - a lot of it. And for those of us who live in a cave (as my daughter would say) we have another candidate for the "Famous or Well Known Hall of Fame". The current enshrined members are Marie Kondo (September 13,2019), Yma Sumac (March 1, 2019), and N K Jemisin (July 30, 2021).

HA! On shore. But since whimsy got the art genes, I'll have to share my green beer with Mr. G.

On the ship for now. Hoping some of my ideas pan out!

Edit: On shore thanks to @ship4u. This was hard for me!

Walking the decks waiting for inspiration and seeing nothing in either clues or grid. So far the only thing I noticed is that all of the grid answers are composed of letters....sigh.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Got it thanks to a helpful hint in the Zoom Room. I'll have a big glass of ice water for now.

Would have gotten there eventually, but the zoom call accelerated it (pun intended).

I can say with confidence I never would've gotten that without some pretty clear hints from the trusty Zoom crew. Thanks for helping solve the mystery, friends! Looking forward to a sunny beach after two feet of snow this week..
