getting close to a connection

you said double D's.... sorry silly mood today

(Hope I got the spoiler bar right this time) Yay! you got it right...the spoiler that is the answers were not quite what i am looking for

got some new stuff that is sort of POWish but not quite, hopefully will get some time to finish it up and post this week....

it's my fault for being lazy .... my original plan had the riddle broken down letter by letter in the grid so it would look like a word search also it would have taken someone an hour or two to actually break the riddle out of the grid if i had done it that way, and i didn't want people to give up because it was too complicated

eh maybe not... time to put this one to bed To Use after a Private Mailbox - Two Us after P.O. box --> POW anyway, tying into the rest of Celebration Conflagration the second part was a cryptogram that said the key to the third was at the end of the first.... and if you take the ENDs of the PoW answers you get ERATOSTHENES and then using a little thing we math geeks like to call the Sieve of Eratosthenes (which is used to find prime numbers), you substitute numbers for words and sieve out all the non-prime to leave you with a clue that basically tells you that you just wasted your time and to go back and do it again but this time take out the primes and leave the rest.... which would have led to the final riddle to which the answer was: ABLIGURITION, or excessive spending on food and drink, going along with the celebration theme..... however, EDM decided to tackle the last parts first and found the last riddle before the PoWs ever had a chance to take off, so i decided to split them off into their own little world so they would be easier to keep track of with all the other guesses flying around for the final riddle....and there were a lot of those to clean up which brings us here, solving the first part of the party after the last three have been dead for weeks , will plan better next time i have a multiple part riddle

the title

Was just looking back at this one and wondering why i didn't post it solved... remembered there is one more left , there is a thirteenth if anyone cares to look for it will post solutions and solved poll later today hopefully

that's exactly what you were supposed to think about the first stanza, but not quite what i had in mind... it will make sense after this one is solved though

Some old friends return New faces arrive and leave Me I still remain Portrayed in motion Always on the defensive Where the heck's Danny? Hopefully not too obscure

Ooo very close... Think about band names and what goes into coming up with one and that band is on the radio all the time here, didn't think it would be all that obscure

I missed this feeling baffled as usual

Hiya MrsP!! Welcome back, hope you're here to stay... Very nice guess, but not quite what I'm looking for...

And the final would ba an 'A' nice work guys
