US Nationals 2010

Aww, it's over now. I got up this morning and thought, "Yay, time to go cube—oh right."

Thanks for a great competition everyone.
 
This is directed to the finalists who were in the auditorium downstairs while we were waiting to be called... I picked up a Stackmat timer from the end of the southernmost table that people were practicing at. No name, no particular distinguishing marks except for some dents in the screen, probably from having cubes dropped on it. PM me or something if it's yours.

If Phillip Espinoza sees this, I also picked up his FII (the one with two caps switched) from the downstairs auditorium but couldn't find him outside afterwards so I think we gave it to Adam Zamora, not sure if Adam got it to him yet.

You actually gave it to me, who gave it to Phillip, but I'm sure he'll take antother...

I lie all the time.

Oh well, that works too. Thanks!
 
Warm Fuzzies (and a team BLD plug)

Ditto to everything Stachu said. This community is filled with amazing people and I'm so glad that I get a chance to hang out with you all once in a while.

Kind of unrelated team BLD note: I spent so much time this weekend doing team blindfold solves and I had a blast. Within 20 minutes of learning a few codes, Casey Pernsteiner and I were beating Bob and Tim at team BLD. In Bob's "defense", he sucks as a caller.

On Sunday, Jason Baum and I had a string of 7 consecutive solves with an average (of the middle 5) of about 29 (Jason has the times) and a full step single of 22.xx. We would have done an average of 12 but Tyson interrupted with some nonsense about doing official solves now or never. Is it bad that I care less about my official 3x3 times than my team BLD times? :)

Meanwhile, I taught Macky HIJK and we almost beat your and Casey's PB my second time calling. :p
On a related note, Casey also showed me the your codes, and we can get sub-1 if I don't do silly things during F2L. I should try with you some time; where were you hiding last night?
