People who went to Point Park Fireworks (Pitt)

[Musturd]

I went to the Point Park fireworks in Pittsburgh tonight.
I sat on the side of a really busy area with a hat on the ground (with a few dollars in it for show) and cubed. I sat there for around an hour solving the 3x3, 4x4, and 5x5 while my friend scrambled.

I made no money...
BUT
I met Jason Baum, who destroyed me in a 3x3 race.

I was just wondering whether anyone else on these forums went to this fireworks display because if you did, and got there from 7:45 - 8:45 you should have seen me cubing.

Did you know Jason Baum would be there or did he just happen to show up?

If it just happened randomly, that's pretty cool.

It was totally random.

I knew I would see at least one cuber there.
And I did.

That was pretty cool meeting you tonight Musturd! I hope I didn't creep you out too bad when I randomly approached you like that. Wish we could have cubed a bit more, but my sister wanted to get a spot up close before it got too crowded.

I doubt there were any other cubers there though, there aren't that many cubers in Pittsburgh.

Really?
I thought I saw a ton of users with Pittsburgh, PA as their locations.
And didn't you say there was a competition at CMU every semester?

It was nice to have met someone.
You were the first person to talk to me during the hour I was cubing other than children <5 years old who asked their parents if they could play with "the toys".

Well, there are a few. Dan Cohen goes to school here (Duquesne University). Then there's Ethan Rosen, Ilkyoo Choi, and kickinwing2112 on the forum. That's pretty much it as far as I know, though.

The CMU competitions are mainly people who go to school at CMU. Ilkyoo Choi actually teaches a class on cubing there, and the competition is like their final exam - they have to do a solve in competition to pass the class. The majority of them are pretty slow though.

Umm sorry but I don't live anywhere near Pittsburgh

 

[mcciff2112]

I'm here too! I wasn't in Pittsburgh tonight to see the fireworks though

LOL, I meant to say Edmund Rothfus. I don't know what I was thinking earlier (I mean your names are kinda similar but still). Sorry about that!

 

[Musturd]

Oh, I thought Dan Cohen lived in Pittsburgh.
...
He lives 3 minutes away from my roommate. Wow.

I only go to school in Pittsburgh. I'm back home during the summer though. Funny you should mention it, I was in Pittsburgh working on my apartment Thursday and Friday though.

I should of gone out to the fireworks would of been fun. I went to some country club's near Sewickley instead. But I should of gone to the city I guess.
