Crowds at the Central New York State Fair edged toward the 2025 milestone even as storms flooded Restaurant Row, with Third Eye Blind drawing about 49,000 fans for a strong showing amid the weather.
David Karp, a civil servant from British Columbia, created a Sunday crossword puzzle for The New York Times, featuring the band Third Eye Blind. The puzzle's theme involves removing the third "I" from common phrases to create punny answers. The title of the puzzle, "I Do, I Do ... Do," is a reference to a line from the band's hit song "Semi-Charmed Life." Tricky clues include "GSPOT" and "EARGASM," while new entries include "EGIRL." Overall, the wordplay is witty and fun, even for those unfamiliar with the band.
