-Joel's LanLan kept having inner pops?
-Joel's skewb?

-Shane has a wicked cube tattoo?
-I failed 3x3 first round, barely making finals?
-Tristan is awesome?

-I don't know how to fix a Magic with one string loose?
-A tip falling off a Pyra = DNF?
- Shaden = -1 "penalty"?

I remember you now! I think I judged you a couple times (I judged the entire 3x3 round).

Thanks! Marie was third in MM too - they were happy to get medals.
We managed to get some pretty cool spin medals - everyone wanted them, so Marie and Rebecca were really happy to each win one.
And yes, I did become the third person in the club. My feet were trembling the whole time - I was so afraid I'd hit the reset button again!
And yay - I'm ranked higher than Dene now! Dene, you gotta start practicing again.
It was such a great competition - I'm so happy with how it went. And it was really really weird missing everything in BLD except a 5x5x5. And it was also weird getting a successful 5x5x5 BLD solve and yet moving down in the world rankings.
My first 5x5x5 BLD (which is the one Chester won with) was off by just a few pieces, and was 15:32.

My "Did you know" list isn't very long, BUT:
-My girlfriend was actually 1337 (WR for average) for a short time for Magic (when I checked today, but now she's 1354 or something)
-I broke my 2x2 right before the event
-My 3x3 average was 30 and I worked hard the past 2 weeks to get it down to 25ish (should have been in the finals! I ended up with a +2 on the first solve and only 2 sub 30 solves, averaged 30.35 or something)
-Dan Cohen barely took 3rd place for magic from me by 0.05 seconds AND he had a 6 second solve! I was frustrated
-The event I practiced least I actually did "somewhat good" in? (the magic)
-I was so frustrated by my turnout of the 3x3 I'm pretty anxious for the next comp around the area
-And the one positive: I actually got a sub20 for once at the comp, too bad it was just in practice solving (and after the first round at that)

:dan was quite mad when he missed a 4x4 bld solve by what looked like a single center piece
:i am in 7 of the pictures that carson took
:i didn't get judged by chester
:i did get judges by carson and thrawst
:thrawst shares my hate of the far back tip in pyra
:this was my first comp
:dan gets sub 10 whenever shaden isn't looking, but fails when he is
: only sub 10 people got into the 2x2 final
:chester's 2x2 final times were worse than his 3x3 times
:chester fails at 2x2 for some reason
:blindfold events are no fun to watch unless someone DNF's by like 1 piece
:i think the most people scrambling at once was 3
: this comp did not have very many very good people
: i got 4th in 2x2, using Fridrich LBL, my friend got 5th failing at guimond
:my friend got a medal in clock, even though his average was over 20

I used fridrich for 2x2 as well and ate dirt pretty hard with that. And yeah Dan DNF'd that 4x4 by one piece (actually two if you count the fact it was one spot but two pieces have to be swapped). I was sitting right there, was pretty disappointing.
Another disappointment: I didn't get one 30.xx or higher solve the whole time I practiced before the first round. Then I failed miserably. Nervous much?

geeze, iSpinz. you were a little late(only a few hours). But, nevertheless, I got 2 great lanlan 2x2s, a new main speedcube as a type C, but the qj's were sold out right before i got to her.

heh, i was sitting right by him too. like 10-15 feet away
also
did you know?
:i spent 2 hours walking around looking for ispinz, then and hour after i give up. he sits down 5 feet from me
:my friend bought the last taiyan
:right after he did, i went up and got the one i reserved
:youtube noobs actually know what they are talking about when it comes to the taiyan, it makes my type c feel as slow as a new storebought
:turns out i dont get nervous in comps. whatsoever, at all, my average was the same as at home, for all events, except OH
:i DNFed an OH solve after messing up a J perm that i didn't actually mess up.
: the next solve was 3 mins long, i messed up PLL twice, and the judge (an 8 or so year old girl) kept sighing like she was going to die if the solve lasted any longer, so essentially i had 3 sub 1:40 solves and my avg was over 2 mins

Man if I had known he was selling 2x2's I prob. would have bought one since I ended up breaking mine. James Hildreth told me I couldn't stiffen it, and I don't like being told things aren't possible. So what do I do? I pop it and look for some way of tightening it up, and I failed...hard. Karl Rabaya had this Jason guy look at it and he eventually gave up on it, he apparently was the cube fixer there.
Thrawst gave it a shot at fixing it, he also pretty much said "f this" lol.
Another did you know:
-Karl Rabaya (or however you spell it) placed 3rd in first round but I don't think he even got top 10 in final round. Was very weird, he did so well then I'm not sure if he just didn't care during the finals or what.
Edit: cincy, I prefer my cubes to not be crazy fast. Karl's cube was pretty loose, but I think that's too loose for me (I have to force myself to slow down during F2L or I do horrible). My 2x2, I could just tap it and it'd do like 10 complete revolutions or more, hence why I tried to stiffen it!

did you know?
: I had 19 in 2x2 on the first cut for the final round, and then they made a 2nd cut at 15, so i didnt make it?
: I suck at 4x4 so i didnt make the cut off?
: My friend's qj 4x4 was really stiff, then it became broken in really quickly, but created a lot of plastic dust?
: I made the sweetest pattern on the fisher cube?
: I would have gotten a qj, but I didnt make it before they sold out?
: Dan Cohen let me use his jig-a-loo? Which was amazing!!!!
: Dan Cohen touched my 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4, so they are now blessed?
: I got to judge Dan Cohen, but not Thrawst?
: iSpinz gave me the sweetest cubes? 2 lanlans, and 1 type c, which are both new main speedcubes?
: Dan Cohen's name is actually Dan Cohen?
: Joel is awesome?
: Dan Cohen's feet smell like $#!+?
