We should do it down at the library near my house. Good space with tables and I can walk there. Then I would get to the meet ups!... Although no food or drinks (although I might be able to kinda get past that with my connections 
) and it's way out of the way for all of you so maybe not

Haha what is the address? I will take a look. Most of us are down around the 119th street area which is a ways south of you if I remember.

It is also definitely not due to a faulty cube. I think I have like 10 assorted speed 3x3s now.
Aolong v2 x2
Aolong 54.6
Dayan Zhanchi Stickerless
Dayan Zhanchi White
Gans 3 57mm
Fangshi ShuangRen v2
Primary Weilong
And I think a few I can't think of. I also have a Guhong and two HuaLongs coming.
I am a collector that can barely solve haha.

Yeah, you're getting a pretty good collection going. You're getting fast though, you're progressing faster than I did when I started.

I started on the last week of 2013. I got my first sub-40 solve in mid-February 2014, and I was averaging that in early March 2014.
Y'know, just for another perspective.
Don't beat me at the comp please! I started around the same time as you (Christmas got first cube) and I'm sorta behind you..... What's your fastest single 3x3?

I started in September 2013, and I wasn't averaging 40 until February of 2014. I didn't get a sub 30 single until March. I would say don't beat up on yourself man.

My first post in this thread was about when I started speed cubing. That was 2-16-2015 and now it is 3-26-2015. I have been concentrating almost solely on 3x3 which has resulted in one sub 30 time and an average of 12 lower than 40. But I would say I am still averaging about 45 or so. I guess my ao100 is below 45 but I still have some 50 second solves when I do really dumb things.
I am not saying I am not progressing but I would like to be better definitely. My goal is to be sub 30 a month from today and then go sub 20 2 months after that. So that means sub 20 by the start of July. Maybe not doable but one can hope

Don't be sub-20 that fast! Then you would be sub-20 over twice as fast as I became sub-20!!!!!!! (still trying to be sub-20 CN)

I doubt I will make it to sub-20 that fast. I will have to learn full PLL and most of OLL which is definitely doable in 2 months but then I also have to get them down to 2 second algs and good recognition while continuing to improve on my F2L. I had another sub 30 solve last night. I am definitely not sub-30 by any means but I can see myself getting there within the next month If i stay on this course. About half of my solves are in the 30s now which is a great sign.
Also I don't know who you are RJ have we met at one of the meet ups?

At home 12.68. I can get averages of anything though, meaning I've gotten 20-21 seconds averages RECENTLY at home, even though I'm really an 18-second solver.

I don't think I got to meet you at the comp shadow. Bummer.

He was up at the front the whole comp. If you had competed you might have been able to meet him *cough cough*

In case you didnt notice I had to leave before 2x2 and 3x3 which basically precludes me from competing since those are my only two events that I currently finish in under 4 minutes.

Great job there, Shadow, running the competition. It was smoother than I expected given that you had about 100 ppl. What was your total tally? Did you do anything differently this time around to attach 100% more ppl? I'm sure having celebrities there helps, Chris Olson, Kennan LeJeune, and Kevin Hays. It was pretty cool to ALMOST see a world's record being broken on the 6x6. You got to love that 2-minute of complete silence!
Well, here's the plan. And let me know if I'm stepping on your toes Shadowkiller...KC Competition on Aug 15th or Aug 22nd. Walker suggested that I not do it over the summer since most ppl will be pretty busy. So two weeks more after US National would be ideal. Thinking of adding 4x4x4, 7x7x7, and 3x3x3 blind or multi-blind. I had someone came to me and offered a location to host, but it's near Independence, MO which is not so ideal. I would prefer to host somewhere in Overland Park or Olathe, which has better recognition and closer to my home. Olathe East or Blue Valley NW HS?
I got a cool video of Chris Olson and Phi-Long doing the 2x2x2 neck to neck, with 2.40 and 3.50, respectively (through, later Chris got a 1.45s). Will have to post that on youtube shortly.
Did any find a Gen3 timer? I'm really pissed at how I lost that!
