🇺🇸 Kansas, USA

Is it weird that I actually clicked the link to see if it would go anywhere? I guess we can't do the 9th since nobody can come, my parents said that they'd already planned to go out to breakfast with my cousins that morning anyway.
 
I live literally 27 seconds from your house. And Lamars is another 2.2 minutes from there. I am pretty sure that we could make something work Rocky.

And yes it is very very very weird that you clicked the link.

Yeah, to be honest a weekday next week would work best if that works with you.

dang that's pretty close. When did you time it? I hope I can come sometime. I still think we should set up a time to do a Google hangout or something

Yup, he's less than half a mile away. He didn't actually time the 27 seconds (at least I don't think so) haha, but that's pretty accurate. Yeah, we could try a google hangout.

I'm looking into the JCCC as a possible venue. I will be sending them an email to get some general info on how much it would cost etc.

I didn't think about that, that would be a pretty good venue, thanks for checking it out!
 
I got a automated reply basically giving the application process (for hosting events) and the rules to consider. It doesn't talk about price or anything. I asked about any STEM/engineering groups but as it was a copy and pasted/automated message there was no response to that. If we can contact such a group maybe we can have them host it. I can't find anything by searching JCCC STEM club or similar searches but maybe some of you can have some more luck
 
Sorry I haven't kept up with cubing at all...just too darn busy. But the summer is about to start, and the practice continues.

We'll be meeting this Saturday for cubing practice, same time, same place at 10AM at Lamar's in Overland Park. See you all there.

Hey Dan how is the comp planning coming along? Is there any way I can help?

Nothing so far...Phi got distracted by basketball. Hopefully, it's only a fad. If this weekend practice brings him back into cubing then I will push onward; otherwise, there's no point for me to setup one. That 10-sec barrier is hard to get to, and he's starting to loose interest.

I can definitely understand shifting interests. Basketball is a good one though one wonders why you can't do both. At his current level for cubing he may not see the same gains by splitting time but he can keep a cube with him and at least do an ao100 every day or two and keep up on it until he gets interested again.
 
Yeah, I hope Phi gets back into it. I have a lot of hobbies, you just have to find time for all of them. If it's not his thing any more I understand as well.

Edit: I just saw Richard Quatch walk by me in lunch as I was typing haha

So I think I just found basically the prefect venue. At the end of the sports year the team my bro and sister run on holds an end of season banquet and the First Raytown Baptist church. One of the parents just happens to be on the board at the church. That's how the team gets to use it. I talked to the guy (Mr. Morrison) and he was totally on board. I told him I would expect probably around 100 based on Lawrence. He said that was fine. He said that the fee would be $200 and if we charge $6 dollars a competitor and 40 people show up just solving the 3x3 that's that expense covered. I have his email and he says send him a few dates and he will let me know of the availability. The actual room is really good too. It's like a multipurpose room that they will do different events in including potlucks and stuff like that so food is good in there too. I don't have the exact dimensions but it's about the size probably a bit bigger than the cafeteria at Lawrence high. They have a little stage at the front where we could have scramblers and maybe one or two competing tables for finals or what ever. For people to sit at they have a lot of circular tables and plenty of chairs we can use so that's not a problem. Plus I have a connection to a guy on the board! The dates I am looking at right now would be July 25th, August 1st and August 8th. It looks like they might have something there on the July date though. What do you guys think?
