Who else likes Cypress Grove Midnight Moon? What might be a good progression with it on a cheese plate? I could see maybe goat gouda before it and manchego after.

How specific an answer are you looking for, because I can probably go into a fair amount of detail.

I would say pretty general. I'm limited to Whole Foods (which I only ever step foot inside for the cheese counter) and DiBruno Bros in Philly.

First off, whatever you want to put on your plate is good as long as you like it. That's the most important thing--eat what you like and don't get too precious about any of it. With that in mind, the advice I'm going to give you is based on what a cheese plate a fine-dining restaurant might resemble. Generally, you want to have a variety of styles, textures and milks. Since Midnight Moon is a goat gouda in all but name I wouldn't pair with another goat gouda unless you were doing an all gouda (or gouda style) plate. Which, by the way, can be really fun.
If you're doing three cheeses, I would start with a bloomy rind cow's milk cheese, move on to the Manchego and end with the Midnight Moon. Personally, I like to have at least four cheeses on a plate and also end with a blue. If you end up wanting to do that, you could try the Rogue Caveman blue or Jasper Hill Baily Hazen blue to finish. Those are both outstanding examples of American blue cheese and both pretty widely available. (Rogue also makes Rogue River Blue, arguably the best American blue cheese and a top 5 blue in the world but it's currently out of season. But if you ever see it, grab it.)

Interesting! I'll try that, or as close as I can get to it. I've heard of Rogue but not tried anything of theirs.

I'd love to see/start a tribute band, somewhat similar to the Beatallica concept, but would work two-ways:
Play the songs of classic Black Sabbath in the style of 80s/90s Depeche Mode
Play the songs of Depeche Mode in the style of classic Black Sabbath
I think it could work. Finding a singer that could do Ozzy AND Gahan might be a bit tricky though...

My favorite contribution to the PRF Tribute series was when I did a couple ZZ Top songs in the style of Hüsker Dü and a Hüsker Dü song in the style of ZZ Top.

Oh man. If you assembled the right combination of people to do either of those, they could probably get about 6-8 songs deep into either catalog and unlock a formula to just start writing originals.
I find that those kind of mashup stews lead to some of the best new songs. They never even turn out as an obvious sum of parts, it's just harnassing some of the coolest shit unrelated musicians do and figuring out how closely related they are.
