UIndy Open 2011

Ethan: JT isn't sure if he can get off work yet because he didn't ask for it off until this week (talk about being lazy...he knew about this comp months before it was announced).

The cubers from the area are: Myself, Jt, Spencer Thompson, Allison Tharp, Drew McNutt, Sam Roach, Spencer Shively, Famous Deaf Rubik's, and I'm missing some. I would only count on (at most) myself, Jt, Spencer, possibly Allison if she's up for it (She lives about 25m from the campus area though).

Do you know which hotel you'll be staying at?

Nick, will your math teacher be coming again? He was a cool guy.
 
David: I put plenty of information about the hotels/motels in the area on the Travel page. There are close hotels to the campus, I suggest that you and Ethan stay in ones that are close, and you can be part of our Friday night meetup :P

What time is the meetup going to be at?
 
Holiday Inn is the closest hotel that I know of, and it's real easy to get to the campus from there (turn onto US31N, turn right onto Hanna Ave...takes you right to campus, then follow directions to get to Good Hall :P).

Ethan, do you know where you're staying at yet?

Notcuber: I'm guessing we'll just have the small meetup once people get in town.

Sadly, no he cannot make it this time. He was planning on coming but one of his kids needs help moving into a new apartment, so he's gotta do that. I'm sure that he'll make the next competition though.
 
I'd absolutely love to go to a meetup on friday. However, I have some family medical problems going on right now so I don't know if I'd be able to make it (however by probably Wednesday I could get a good feeling on if I would be able to make it).


Also, I go to school in Terre Haute and I *could* get out of class as late as 4:30 on friday (though, it hasn't happened yet *crosses fingers*). If the meetup is in indy I could possibly not make it until 6:30 or later (depending on how far away from Terre Haute it is). I'd absolutely love to go to a meetup friday, though. Just let me know!
 
I probably wont be able to make the meetup, I have a tennis meet Fri. So we wont get there till around 11:00.
 
I am almost 100% sure I won't have to meet for my last class friday.. so I'll get out at 12:40 (which means I can be there by 3 or so, again depending on how far away from Terre Haute you guys want to meet).

I'll probably get there at around 9 because my dad needs to make a stop in colombus ohio (I'm in DC right now). I will most likely be staying at the holiday inn on keystone ave, so unless it's there and at that time, I'll won't be there.
 
David: You should probably stay at the Holiday Inn off 31 and Thompson Rd, the area is nicer. UIndy is only a few miles south of a rougher part of keystone (go up to Rural St and it can get rough, all the way up to Downtown, keystone turns into rural), as a result the areas on it still aren't that great. If you're only staying one night, you might not notice much difference though. If you do stay at the one I suggest, take Thompson Rd -> Madison Ave (turn left / North) -> Shelby St veers off to the right a bit (you always have a green arrow, up/straight arrow, that is), turn right on Hanna. That'll be faster than 31 to Hanna because of some construction going on currently on Hanna smack in the middle of campus.

Allison: I figure the meetup will be around the campus area, where the other cubers stay in hotels at. Depending on what time they get there we can go to the greenwood mall, or find some restaurant to hang out at in the area.

Phone number exchange for those interested in a meetup?
 
hmm.. googlemaps tells me UIndy is an hour and a half from Rose; however, I've never been there so I'd say I can be there by 2:30. I'll PM you my phone number.
 
Mmmm, I detest cubing in public, so I personally don't like the idea of having it in a mall. A restaurant will be nice. However, I've never been to a meet up or an after party, and most of us will be with a parent, so do the sit with us or what?

Fatboy: WTF how did you know my name I've never met you
 
Probably from your WCA profile, I'd guess.


The other meetup we have had was in the food court of a mall and it wasn't bad. I think there was one time when people came up and even acted interested and it was mostly (or only) because Mike was blind solving. Even if you don't like being around other people, it isn't bad.

I think I'd almost say a food court over a restaurant because cubing is kind of loud (and annoying, apparently) and food courts are naturally loud.. where we could disrupt people at a restaurant. Really though, I don't care.
