Indiana Winter 2010

Im kinda excited. Im hoping this time my average doesnt reflect how it did last time. My average at the comp was 6 seconds higher than normal >.>

on the other hand now im at around 21-26 second average so a good 10 second drop in what, *counting* 3-4 months isnt that bad right xP

Sounds good. Did you hear that I'm starting Roux again? I'm at about those times too.

FII = amazing? Cool, I'm planning on ordering one from Popbuying (along with some other things).

Also, the vids may take a while, because they have to get to me from a different provence, and then I have to edit them and so on, but yea. Good luck at the comp.

Also! I just rememberd that I have this really cool fisherman hat that says KangaRoux on it with a cube, and I'll probably wear that to the next (first) comp I go to.

if you are doing BLD, do you have to bring your own blindfold?

if you are doing BLD at home, you should probably invest the $5 in a blindfold anyway. Its not required you bring your own, but the organizers probably won't have them, so you will have to borrow. In the next week, go to CVS/RiteAid/etc. and just pick up a blindfold.

ok, i'm pretty sure i have one in the house, i just have to find it, i was just confused because there was nothing in the regulations but it says here ( http://www.cubingusa.com/cguide4.php ) that the organizer should have them, but i'll dig mine out and bring it, is there a certain kind or something that is has to be?

As long as it's not transparent, it's pretty much whatever you want/have.

i'm glad i kept that little bag with all the stuff in it that you get on long flights in business class then, there was a little eye cover in there that would be perfect
 
Dollar store would probably be the cheapest place to find those :P I know Wal Mart also has them (but that's probably a given).

8 days to go and I'm still barely getting sub30 averages. I was hoping to be low 20s / possibly get a sub20 at the comp, guess I should have dedicated more time to this, but oh well. I can't complain too bad, it'll be my first comp. I'll probably screw up big time out of nervousness. But we'll see.

Anybody wanna meet up for breakfast before hand at Perkin's or Denny's? :P

well, i would, but i convinced my mom to drive me and 4 friends and i think stopping for brekkie would be a bit hectic, it'll be my first comp to, i'll be doing 6 events, 7 if i can learn blind in a week
EDIT:B4) During the solve
B4a) "After memorisation the competitor dons the blindfold (provided by judge). "
i am pretty sure this means the organizers provide blindfolds

KOII always has a few blindfolds available at their competitions, but it is still a good idea to have your own. It not only makes things run smoother at the competition, but you can practice solving while using a blindfold at home, so the blindfold won't distract you during a competition.

BYOB. Ha.
 
I'm only doing 3 of them. I should have signed up for 3x3 feet, that might be fun, but honestly I think my feet look gross and I don't want to subject anybody to that.

What events are you doing? I'm guessing all the 3x3 events (speed, OH, feet). I'm doing 2x2 speed, 3x3 speed, and magic. I tried convincing my girlfriend to do 3x3 speed, but she feels that since it takes her 2 minutes and something that it's not worth it since so many people will be sub20, much less sub1.

i am doing 3x3 speed, 3x3 OH, 2x2 speed, 4x4 speed, FMC, magic, and pyra, yeah, i know thats 7, i counted wrong before, i'll be doing 8 if i do blind
 
Where do you see pyra in there? I was wishing megaminx was in there, even though I'd have to do some serious practicing, it takes me upwards 10 minutes :/ Nevermind, I just found it in side events DOH!
