Crap! Sorry, I completely forgot about it and already told my friend that I would spend the night at his house. I will not be able to go, but I look forward to seeing everyone next weekend.
 
I will try to get out of work for this but I cannot promise anything unfortunately :(

Also do you guys recommend the weilong V1 or V2 I am going to pick up a couple but don't know if I should go black and white of v1 or v2 or one of each.

Thanks.

I have no ride so can't come. I might be able to come if it's latter in the day but my potential ride has a thing that morning.

I can pick you up if you're about 5 or 10min from my house. Any time we have new ppl coming, I'm all for helping out.

How ironic, you're the one wanted to set this up. We got John, Zach, Adel, and Emma coming.

I would be fine with that but my parents want to be there at least the first few times (or in this case it would be a close friend). Better safe then sorry.

The only way then, to get to these practices, is that you actually go to the practices. Saying that you want to doesn't get you there...IMHO. It's like saying that your goal is to get under 15sec, but then never practice. I know parents are cautious...me too, I have a 10 and a 12, but I want them to have the best opportunities while they are young. So it's your "Better be safe then sorry" vs my "Do it before it's too late." Maybe I should meet with your parents and chit-chat, but you can't let these opportunities sly away.

I toatlly understand it's just that my mom is one of 3 people in charge of a couple hundred teens in our church and many times has to be at meetings and my dad has no idea if he will be working ti'll the day before (he works in entertainment mainly loading in and out shows and conventions at Bartel hall and the PAC. As well as being in charge of all the stage hands at starlight.) I almost got a ride from a friend (same person that is going to take me to the comp) but she had a genealogy conference that morning. If it is possible to move it forward a few hours I think i would be able to come. Plus it sounds like i would be WAY out of your way (I live in south KC near grand view).
 
Dan is right. I totally understand that you want to be cautious and want to make sure it is a good environment to be in. Dan and I are both professional adults who keep an eye on things (Dan more so than me but I try to do my part). Like Dan said if someone needs to meet with your parents or if we can do anything to get you here once and then get you a ride after that it is really a great opportunity. Being reluctant and cautious is a great trait to have but if you are going to become a part of the KC cubing scene then the sooner you do it in person the better for everyone. Heck bring a friend if you have on that is interested that way you at least have someone there that may make your parents a little more comfortable.
