Please note that after some discussion Casey and I have decided that for now the Texas Speedcubing shirts will not have custom names on them or another personalized features. In the future we may re-evaluate this decision, but for now they will appear as the photo shows.
Remember the Alamo 2014

Speaking of shirts, the deadline to order them is this Friday, April 18. I sent an email to everyone who is registered, plus a few others who have expressed interest. If you did not get the email but you want a shirt, please contact me as soon as possible. Thanks!

Alright! We are less than two weeks away, and you know what that means!
GOALS TIME
!!! (Ques the Blues Clues theme)
2x2 - Sub 4 single, sub 6 average
3x3 - Since I failed so much at HWO, I still have to go for at least a sub 20, but more primarily a sub 16 single, sub 19 average.
4x4 - Make cutoff, sub 1:20 average
OH - Sub 30 single, sub 35 average
Pyraminx - Sub 8 single, Sub 11 average

Does anyone want to have a meetup the night before?
By the way, is anyone going to sell puzzles there? I might be. Just look at a puzzle and make an offer on it

This is my first competition so I'll play along.
Goals:
2x2: sub 4.5 average sub 4 single Both attainable.
3x3:At least one sub 16 average and all others sub 17 (Hopefully I work out my comp jitters in 2x2)
4x4: Sub 1:10 average Sub 1:00 single
OH:Sub 30 Average Sub 25 single
Pyraminx: Sub-8 Average Snigle doesn't matter
Skewb: Watch skewb.
A meet up would be cool I'm not 100% sure I could make it though, because if I do go at all I'll likely be coming back in on Friday evening.

My Goals:
2x2: Sub-4 single and sub-6 average (but really my goal is the same as it always is, improve official 2x2 single and average...seriously)
3x3: Sub-15 single and sub-16 averages but I'll settle for Sub-17 or even just 17
4x4: Make cut-off first of all, 1:05ish average, Sub-1 single
I'm also interested in a meet-up.

Just a pro tip, there were mishaps at the past competitions I have been to with solved cubes being given to the competitor. Make sure there is a line for scrambled and unscrambled cubes.
Also, if you need help just tell me and I will help

I always make sure I take solved cubes out of the cover box when I am done judging. That way cubes in the boxes are only scrambled ones

So any ideas on a time or place for a meet up on Friday evening? I was thinking something like a mall (northstar? I'm just saying that because it's near where I'll be and I'm selfish like that). I'm not sure though since this is my first meet up/ competition so whatever.

If you're cool with Northstar then how about 6:30 or 7:30ish. If Northstar's too out of the way just let me know because I can try to come up with a better place.

How far is that from the venue? I probably won't be able to make it because I haven't even left yet but there's a small chance I could.

Are either of you staying in hotels on I-10? I'm tempted to recommend one of the food courts at my University because it is close to that area, I'm just not sure if the panicking maymester students would appreciate us being there. Because Northstar mall is about 6 miles from the venue. (So is the the university but if the hotel is out that way then it's reasonably close, assuming you're driving in and staying at a hotel in that area).

Yeah, I'm staying at a hotel on I-10. I'm probably leaving within the next 30 minutes or so for San Antonio. Oh maymester, how I don't miss you...

Okay 6:30 at Northstar mall it is then. I'll be hanging out in the food court til like 8:45.

Thanks for a great competition, everyone! Sorry it was a bit crowded -- we knew the venue would be a tad bit small but it was the best we could do this time around and I think it worked fairly well. (I had looked into some larger venues but we unfortunately would not have had access to free parking.) Anyway, Mike and I will definitely be planning another competition in the future.
In other news, the Texas Speedcubing shirts look great and they sold very well. All profits from the shirts have been set aside for sponsoring Texas competitions. Hopefully some of you got the chance to meet Sapan (our former WCA delegate). Thanks to him a new Texas Speedcubing website is in the works. I will try to keep people in the loop when I have more news on this.
And finally, I have a 2x2 that someone left at the scrambling table. We made an announcement, but it was never claimed. So if you're missing one, please contact me. Thanks!

This was my first comp, but I have to say everything went really smoothly and I had fun with it (though it may not have looked like it, not my age group for the most part more than anything). Definitely looking forward to the next comp.

Ok, let me talk about my goals.
2x2 - Succeeded with single, didn't with average.
3x3 - Completely failed that. **** DNFs. At least I have a sub 20 now.
4x4 - Pop and nope
OH - Succeeded with single, didn't with average
Pyraminx - Nope
Skewb - Nope
DYK?
Riley is awesome at Pyraminx?
JRCuber finally got one of his dream cubes?
I still don't know how to solve Skewb?
Will probably update the above if I remember anything else.

Note that some parts of the video are of terrible quality. Please do not mind that, as it slowly improves later on
