    Nice one!

      Fun themers! I think 6D is fair, while 16A does require some tricky thinking. Not sure I understand the clue for 10D - I've never heard of a SET TEA before.
      I just got the title, too - nice!

        It is STILL a tea set, the "with" doesn't quite work here. Originally the clue was just "see 9 down" bt I wanted to give an extra hint. I'll fix it.

            Very fun! Love the grid spanners - got a little stuck in the middle left. Had ERS for the longest time.

              Nice! At first I parsed 23A as Cruise's hips!

                  I sent an email to Mike about the contest but I can forward it to you, what's your address?
                  • Mike D 🤓4:39 · 2022-09-08T10:28:32.411Z
                    Hmm I don't think I got it - mike@crosshare.org ?
                    • SporcleMirror constructor · 2022-09-08T12:00:32.190Z
                      I just double-checked, the address is correct and it’s in my “sent” emails. Maybe you just didn’t receive it somehow? (The subject is “September midi contest theme”)
                      • Mike D 🤓4:39 · 2022-09-08T23:16:36.657Z
                        Ack! I got it - was in my spam folder.
