St Louis Speedcubers - Are there any?

[JustinTimeCuber]

Any cubers near St. Louis, MO?

I never have very many chances to hang out with other cubers, because compared to other sort of nearby areas such as Kansas City and Chicago there are hardly any competitions or cubers near here. I want to meet up with some cubers to... well... do cubing stuff. If there is anyone interested I might even end up organizing a competition but definitely not until late winter 2016. If you are interested then PM me or post on the thread.

Kevin Hay's is in STL. But he's "retiring" soon.

There's also Matthew Tritschler, he's about my age, he's almost sub-25, and he's gone to 2 competitions with me. (the Lawrence competitions)

Yeah I have like 3 friends who are sub 25 and one who is sub 20 at my school. Two of them have been to competitions with me.

We need a meet-up before the school year starts. Do any of you have a good location for one? I was thinking something like a park.

no good places that I know of
park = outside
outside + summer = hot
hot = bad

Please excuse my ignorance considering I have only been to St. Louis twice (and one of those times I was about 4), but surely considering how large the city is, wouldn't there be a park with a few buildings or someplace where you could go indoors?

Yeah I guess but I was really tired when I posted that and I wasn't really thinking.

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

We seriously need to meet up but I have no idea where/when. 8/8 might work for me.

Also I am desperate to see another fastish cuber. I've only seen like 2-3 cubers since March and they aren't all that into it. WE NEED TO MEET UP SOMETIME LIKE EVEN IF IT IS ONLY WITH 1 AND A HALF PEOPLE IT WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH!!!

Greater St. Loius Area cubers

This thread is for anybody who lives within a 1 1/2 hour radius of downtown St. Louis, this would include: Lake St. Louis, Wildwood, Manchester, Clayton, South county, Festus, Arnold, High Ridge, Hillsboro, St. Peters, St. Charles, St. Clair, Eureka, Chesterfield, Defiance, Columbia, etc. If you live in near St. Louis, JOIN THIS THREAD! We do not have nearly enough competitions near us per year! In fact the only competition within reasonable distance this year is still 4 1/2 - 5 hours away! So with this thread we could organize competitions near us! Think of it, no more little mini-comps with 2 or 3 of your friends, and no more dreaming about one day going to a comp! But, this thread isn't just for organizing comps, it's also for getting familiar with other cubers in our area. And talking about cubing things in general. But again, if you live within reasonable driving distance of downtown St. Louis, Please Join this Thread!

Awesome! Me, JustinTimeCuber, and Biscuit are currently putting together a competition for mid-late August We will definitely be having; 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, Skewb, BLD, 90% Pyra, 75% OH. Tentative events include: 5x5, sq-1, and OH round 2. Hope to see you there!!!!

 

[Tycubing]

Cool. Probably be there

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

The comp will be on August 20, and will probably be held at Washington University.

 

[Knut]

This is confusing with two threads.
I should be able to come, and I know a couple other people in my area who might want to come as well.

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

OK yeah the august 20 date didn't work (obviously) because of Nats being too close. I'm hoping to get one in by the end of the year (December 3???). I haven't found a delegate or reserved the venue, but I do have some information:

The competitor limit will be 50.
The events will be:
3x3x3 Speedsolve, 3 rounds
2x2x2 Speedsolve, 3 rounds
4x4x4 Speedsolve, 1 round
Pyraminx, 2 rounds
Skewb, 1 round
6x6x6 Speedsolve, 1 round
3x3x3 Blindfolded, 1 attempt (lolz)
