Speedcubing in Connecticut

If you enter and then walk straight back and a little to the right there's a cafe area with lots of tables.

Got it, thanks. See you guys is a couple hours.

CT Meetup

Very successful meetup. The location worked out very well. Colin got his second sub-1 semi-officially and beat me on the scramble since I got a 59. Hopefully my anxiety is one forever since I got a 41.xy on the third scramble. Results will be posted in a few hours.

Can't wait to see them. Thanks for hosting the meetup.

Yay! I beat Caleb!

 

[blackzabbathfan]

Thanks for posting them!

I'm pretty happy with how I did. Especially my 56.79 semi-official BLD single.

 

[Noahaha]

Yay! I beat Caleb!

You deserve it too! You got two BLD successes under competition conditions three weeks after learning how. Plus Caleb is too lazy to have even attempted a 3BLD since his official success.

I was so excited while judging that. I was so nervous when you held the solved cube for two seconds, like you were asking yourself "Am I really done???"

And I didn't even attempt the middle DNF. The first and last scrambles were fairly easy though.

I didn't even notice that! It was such a nice scramble. I hope I can get something like that in comp soon.

Would you guys be up for another Southwest CT Meet-up sometime in the beginning of August?

Once we have significant general interest we can solidify the date and location.

But I'm thinking that the Sherman Town Green in Fairfield may be a legit option once again.
