I may be removing a few sheets due to lack of practice myself.

Anyone got any lube for sale?

 

[JediJupiter]

messaged you Greg, and yeah, food is my #1 priority.

 

[newtonbase]

Do I need change for parking?

 

[~Adam~]

No. Parking is free next to the venue.

If the parking is full and you need to park in the hotel car park there should be a few people with rooms and not cars so could add your number plate to their room.

 

[newtonbase]

Thanks

 

[Tyler Comfy Hat]

Goals? Ehhh...

• Go
• Average around 50 secs on 3x3
• Meet some cool people
• Come to terms w/ the fact that I'll probably come in last place in all the events I do, and face it with dignity
• Try not to get lost when I walk back to the hotel*
• Try not to get mugged when I walk back to the hotel*
• Have a good time
• Keep spaghetti leakage to a minimum
• Don't lose my hat anywhere

*I'm one of those unscrupulous snoozers who didn't book at the Premier inn next door in time, so I'll have to walk a considerable distance to reach a different hotel. Just in case you were wondering.

 

[~Adam~]

I was wondering.

Ooo, I didn't think there'd be any beyond a minute. Good to know, I guess. Thanks for pointing that out.

I have last place fear too. That 43.31 looks a bit dodgy but there seems to be quite a few first timers.

Goals
3x3 - not last
2x2 and pyraminx - relearn algs and don't bore the judge
3BLD - get a solve*
4x4 - beat hard cut off
Skewb - hand in sheet
Other - don't be the oldest competitor
Lists - learn to format

*This is my main goal and the only thing I've practiced but confidence is low.

^Might wanna delete one of those posts, bud.

Anyway, aaaaah, the weekend is almost upon us, and I'm nervous and panicing because I've been solving a little bit slower than usual today, and ohcrapwhatdoIdowhatdoIdo!?
Possibly unwarrented anxiety aside, my things are packed, and I'm real excited to meet everyone. I may have already told you that, but a little emphasis never hurt anyone.

See you all tomorrow, and best of luck!
