Kresge, eh?
Although ours is getting torn down.

Anyhow, this sounds exciting;I haven't been to MIT in way over 10 years, and it's nice to see the MIT club doing things. (I do feel a bit sorry for Berkeley, though.)

 

[Jake Gouldon]

YAY! I think I will be coming!

 

[andrewunz1]

[Cyrus C.]

No! I won't be attending, I have Boy Scout Jamboree.

 

[Crazycuber]

[TheMachanga]

I MIGHT go, and take a friend along with me. Idk, plane ticket might be too expensive and my parents don't think cubing is that serious. (i live in chicago). I play sports in the summer too so hopefully i won't have a game those days or practice =]

 

[ianini]

Yes! I really want to go!

 

[Tim Reynolds]

Pretty crap weekend for me, but I'll probably come anyway :/

 

[JTW2007]

I'd love to go. We'll see how the transportation and housing works out. Dates are fine for me as of now though, and I can't think of much that would get in the way of me going other than money.

I might show up.

I think you have to pay Bob royalties for usage of that line

Then organize one? These don't get organized on their own, it takes people who will find a venue and run them. The reason there's lots of competitions in California and the Northeast is that there's people around there willing to organize them. I personally wouldn't hold a competition in DC, since I don't live there.

Find a venue, and I'm sure some WCA delegate would help you run the competition. Mitchell Stern lives around there, get in touch with him. But if you're not willing to put in the time to run a competition, don't shout at other people and expect them to do it for you. If you're not going to put in the time, why should anyone else hold a competition just for you?

We around DC (including Mitchell Stern) are still working on our competition, but things are looking up for January 30, 2010 as the competition date. It will be very close to where it was last time. See this thread for more details. http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16912

I loved nationals last year. By far the best thing I did all summer. I'm going to work my butt off so I can try and place in 2x2 and OH.
