It better not be the V2. That would be stupid.

Well, we could always cut the number of events in half so people can just sit around.
anyway, it took me almost 3 hours to get home, so scores will be validated tomorrow.

Mr. Verdes is a nice guy...
New V cube will be for sure "before christmas" (note: read in a greek accent for full effect)
Mr. Verdes wouldn't sign my Foot Cube (understandable, but it made me baww a little inside).....
I hit two 17.xxs today ...
i didn't buy much of anything ....

I was probably the last person there because I was talking a lot to KV and a few other people about business. By the time I was trying to leave around 7:30pm I found out that the shuttle bus to my hotel from the mall got stranded in the snow... Soon afterwards no more vehicles were able to pick anyone up. A lot of people got stuck at the mall and decided to spend the night there.
I decided to walk back 2 miles to my hotel... It's a good thing you guys helped buy puzzles to lighten my luggage, because it was a real ***** walking back. About 15 inches of snow had fallen around the mall area.

Just a quick tip for Bryan... next time practice pronunciation before hand. Mainly Erik's last name.

....Cyrus is tall?
...We're currently searching for a venue for the Events Christopher Hates Open? Events include FMC, 7x7x7, and Feet.
...Driving home has not been fun? It has taken us 6 hours to get to Mason City and we still have quite a ways to go.
...Ortega is fast?
...John couldn't fix my V6 pop? Only six or seven pieces came out.
I'm sure I'll think of more on the road.

I didn't get to complete my 6x6 mean becaue the timer stopped at .02 and I didn't realize it until after the first 2 centers. So I just quit.
More to come.

Donchaknow?
...when doing my pre-competition equipment check earlier in the week, 7 out of 8 Stackmat timers needed new batteries?
...4 displays also needed new batteries?
...I bought a 6th display so that the stage would look "balanced"?
...I went up Saturday to make sure I was there before the storm?
...the drive up took about an hour?
...the drive back took almost three?
...the Mall of America has no heating system?
...they equipped me with a headset mike and taped it to my face?
...people miss my family when they can't come?
...people who can't be bothered to sign after each solve kind don't get much sympathy when I'm verifying scores?
...scores are verified and sent off?
...when I offered to add OH if some people would help judge so we could stay on track, someone replied, "I might judge.....like 70% sure."?
...We finished about 45 minutes early, but many people wanted to take off because of the storm, so we didn't add anything else?
A funny story. This girl comes up and says:
Girl: I think I registered for 3x3 BLD accidentally?
Me: <Check sheet> Nope, you're in the 3x3 regular.
Girl: OK, there's a problem with that because I don't know how to solve it.
Me: You don't know how to solve, or you can't solve fast?
Girl: I don't think I can solve it at all.
Me: Then why did you register?
Girl: My professor made me do this. He gave me the assignment 3 days ago.
Me: What class is this?
Girl: Writing
Me: What did he make others do?
Girl: Other stuff, but I think mine's the only one that involves public humiliation.
Me: OK, well, I suppose we'll put you on one of the end timers without a display.
So she sits and her cube gets scrambled, and she get seated right in the middle of the stage, with a display. Everyone is solving around her and her display is ticking into the minutes. I think around the 6 minute mark she has a green cross.
Judge: So, why do you start with green?
Girl: It's my favorite color.
Judge: I figured that was the reason.
The timer hits 10 minutes and shuts off. We ask her if she wants a second try, and she says no. OK. So 1 DNF on the scoresheet and then she goes and sits down. So then I decide that hshe should complete her assignment, so I have her come back on stage to do a team solve with Chris. She'll be turning, and Chris will tell her what to do. But this way she can say that she solved the cube. Of course, I turn on my microphone and explain this to the entire audience watching.
6 minutes later, I announce that she has finished solving and the whole audience breaks into applause.
