I did say hi, that is how I found out about the event actually! Lucky for me it was the last day to register (even though I would be content to just come by and watch).

Must not have been paying attention, then xD

You'll probably learn that I'm the most active of our group ^_^"

Yeah when I stopped by, there were a bunch of you filming away from the main table. Was only there for a minute. Just registered!

No need to be nervous! Just cube in front of people, it helps your confidence

Did you see my 6x6 pop? Half of the entire cube exploded xD

That was NOT a pop the core was broken so the cube fell apart

I SUCK under pressure, for example today at the meet i had an 80% blindsolve success rate at about 1:00 but then Cory started filming and it suddenly dropped to 10% at about 58 secs

Well, you've just got to expose yourself to the public. Nothing like having 10-15 people staring at you, pressuring you. Got an 11.98 avg5 then, too xD

yea I've been working on my BLD solves right now I average 56 seconds with a 75% success rate my memo times are around 20 seconds but they should drop with a lot of practice.

So true.
I cube at my karate studio, so I was pretty used to the people at my first comp. I was still really nervous but got a fine average for what I was avging at that time. After the comp I could record my solves without feeling any pressure at all, and I got faster (less pressured) doing it at karate too. Just think of it as practice time, not Impress other people time.
