Speedcubing in Connecticut

[monkeytherat]

Late morning - noon is best to start if it's going to be Sunday, unless I'm going to be fashionably late. While I'm fairly sure no one was planning on meeting at 8 am, I thought I would "throw that out there".

 

[Noahaha]

Seems like Sunday is the best for the most people. I'm starting a list of attendees, so who's going?

 

[monkeytherat]

Is this still on?

 

[Noahaha]

Is this still on?

Yeah.

Happening at 1:00 on Sunday. Who's coming?

 

[mDiPalma]

Sam and I can come

 

[calebcole203]

I'll be coming! And I'm bringing a friend with me, if that's alright.

 

[Noahaha]

Of course. The more the merrier.

EDIT: nice sig btw

 

[Noahaha]

Caleb's friend is apparently sub-15 with ZZ and has never been to a competition o.0

It will be a good time.

Rubixwiz and AwesomeAlex, are either of you still thinking about coming?

Sounds like a lot of fun. Sad I missed it. I would've had a good shot at winning 3x3. And placing in BLD. Whatever.
