    wow, what an amazing specimen of woman in that picture at the top!!!!!!

    on a more serious note, this is one of the most germane and factually accurate news articles about cubing I've ever read. I imagine this is indicative of a higher level of journalism in general at the New York Times than at some local newspaper in Armpit, Minnesota.

    I'm a little hurt that Tyson read all of Thompson's trolls out loud, but refused to read the awesome stuff I wrote down for Andy...

    1. one week sooner please - I am going back to school on September 1 k thanks
    2. they weren't ads for hookers and blow; they were those baseball cards except with strippers instead of baseball players. I suppose those are basically the same thing, though.

    The seminars and the unofficial competition were both awesome. I look forward to more of that in future competitions. The only thing that bothered be about the unofficial competition was the "best of 1" and "mean of 3" formats. Best of 3 would have been a lot nicer for events like Team BLD and Team solving, and average of 5 would have been a lot nicer for skewb. There were obviously some issues with having enough time to hold everything, so hopefully if you decide to run an unofficial competition again there will be more time to hold all the anticipated events.

    Word of mouth. I heard it from someone who heard it from someone, etc. I don't know who's responsible for giving your room number away in the first place.

    15 I think. Much better than last year, which was probably 2 hours over 4 days.

    I guess I have a few DYKs

    Did you know. . . . .

    I was mistaken for Collin Burns at least twice?
    The pool area at the Riviera played surprisingly good music?
    Ernie Pulchny had me on his back for at least an hour throughout the competition?
    Slender?
    Mitches Please?
    Voice crack? (Worse than Zach Goldman's)

    I'll try to think of more later.
