Man, I went down a rabbit hole for the ages on this one. Finally took the blinders off and saw the path. Beam me up!

Gosh I thought I was going to be early on this one, given that it just came out at 1:00, should have known better. BUT, I believe I have solved it and feel good about my answer. If that is the case then I got both the WSJCC and MGWCC. I'm positively giddy.
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!

After a couple of false starts (like FrankieHeck, I tried to turn this into a week 3+), I think I have it. Liked the unusual grid dimensions!

Got it.
I was able to text a picture of 92A to my coworker who endlessly discussed its release while we were still in school. It was a great early birthday present for her to know she helped me solve a big clue to my puzzle!

Done. Perfect Week 2-level. Don't overthink this one.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

If you’re talking about your MGWCC streak, you can e-mail Matt. Once I put the meta answer in the name box. How embarrassing. It took a few days, but he fixed it.tonyrobots wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 6:32 pm Ughhhhhhh, accidentally submitted the WSJ answer to the MGWCC form. Hope it doesn’t cost me my streak!

One good thing is that since Matt wrote the Wsj this week, you didn’t just spoil it for himtonyrobots wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 6:32 pm Ughhhhhhh, accidentally submitted the WSJ answer to the MGWCC form. Hope it doesn’t cost me my streak!

Yes, I emailed Matt. I’m hoping he’ll take pity on me. Now I’ve done the grid and have a step 1 here, just need to tie it together....

Got it, and Matt emailed to say all will be forgiven. Now to submit the WSJ (to the right place this time) before I forget. Happy weekend, puzzlers!

Believe it or not, I worried that I'd done the same thing when I submitted. I checked and I hadn't, but I was worried for a moment.tonyrobots wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 6:32 pm Ughhhhhhh, accidentally submitted the WSJ answer to the MGWCC form. Hope it doesn’t cost me my streak!

Got it!! After struggling far too long and hard. I think my brain is starting to overheat, so I'll save Brian Mac's latest puzzle for tomorrow.
