Austin Fall 2009

NOOO!!
ITS THE SAME DAY AS THE MIT COMP!
I think i'd rather go to Texas though.

So, I'll post my goals.

3x3: sub 15 (Maybe sub 14 with a nice sub 12 single)
3x3 OH: Beat Anthony
2x2: Beat Anthony
Pyraminx: Lose to anthony
3x3 bld: sub 2:30
4x4: sub 70
5x5: Phail
3x3 multibld: 1/2 because I only plan to solve one.
Square 1: sub 30
Just read this...ok, if Weston is going, I gotta go.

lol. Weston probably isn't going to be able to make it. He was at our last Texas competition though, and he'll be back in the future.
 
I wish i could go to this, it sounds cool but Austin is like a five hour drive and i have school the day before. And i really don't want to take a 300 mile trip, get there close to midnight, wake up the next morning compete in only 3x3x3, and not get past the first round. lol

Dude, I remember reading in another thread that you're from South Texas. What city? I'm from Rancho Viejo (in between Brownsville and Harlingen, near Los Fresnos). I'm going to be leaving on Friday right after school, and will probably get there between 10-11. If you really live in the "deep south texas" like you posted in another thread, I could totally give you a ride.

If you're interested, pm me.

And btw, our Texas competitions aren't exactly the most competitive yet. Our cutoff times have always been between 35-40 for the first round and probably won't change significantly this competition. You have a chance of advancing. Just make sure you're top 16. :p

Hey! You said you were sub-15 with 4lll!:confused::confused::confused:

sub 15 with 4?
what do you mean by that?

4lll = 4 look last layer.
And no, I don't think Weston is sub 15 using two look OLL and two look PLL. But who knows. :p

Nope I'm not sub 15 with 4LLLL, but I can do sub 15 with 3LLL.
 
Just letting people know:
I'll be driving from Pensacola, FL to Austin the Friday before, November 13th.
If anyone wants/needs a ride along the way, I should have some seats open for passengers.
 
It looks like I'm going to be going to this competition instead of the MIT one!!!
I get to see all the Texas people again!

And i realized yesterday that I might be able to do sub 2min BLD. I hope there is more than one round for BLD.

Hell yeah. Let's hang out more this time instead of just being rivals maybe?
Let's just chill, and pwn when the time comes. :p

Btw, I'm not making any promises (and it's more up to Sapan than me), but if we get enough people, we could try and have a quick best of 1/2 bld final. I doubt it, but maybe. At the very least, you'll get 3 attempts. xD

See you there! :)

(Shoot, now I need to practice even after the WC.)

yeah dude my parents are going to let me go to Austin with a guy i met on a forum.lol plus my best 3x3x3 just broke and it took like 3 months to get it that way. now my main speed cube is the shiny one you get at dollar tree lol which strangly isn't that bad i actually got a sub 30 which is good for me.but still that's off topic lol.idk
 
I got one from dollar tree coincidentally before learning to solve one (it was a coincidence because I wasn't planning on learning) and it broke the same day.
It was trash!
It came with a keychain one too, which did not break so easily. The actual change this break off, though...

Why not go buy a real Rubik's cube from Wal-Mart?
 
yeah dude my parents are going to let me go to Austin with a guy i met on a forum.lol

I went to Canada and stayed with Limeback before I knew him. Cubers generally aren't bad people. ;)

Anyway, if you want to meet up some time to cube, let me know. I'm pretty much your only option. Afaik, no one else down here is an active cuber.
 
I didn't get the cube myself. I'd been looking for some for experimentation purposes and my mom found some so she got me one.But anyway i wasn't around when she got it and i'm pretty sure i'm getting a diy soon so yeah.Another thing is the last cube was like the fourth cube this year so I really don't want to buy a cube that would break in 2 months.The only one that didn't break and was probably the best all around was stolen at school.
