Meet-up in Michigan!

Hey guys, I've been wanting to meet other cubers in Michigan for some time now, and thought we could start some meet up near Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Belleville area. If you have a location suggestion go ahead and post it. The place should be where it best fits everyone, even if it isn't one of the cities I listed.
 
Bumping this thread because almost everyone will be out of school by the 14th and there's a better chance of actually getting a cube meet up.

How about everyone that is interested post the furthest they will go towards the western part of Detroit (Ann Arbor/Novi/West Bloomsfield/Livonia/Lyon/Adrian) they are willing to go and see if there's a mall or something around what most people post?

I'll go first. I'm in Ann Arbor and probably Livonia or Novi or anything less than an hour away. I can bring about 5 people from my cubing club if they are interested in meeting other cubers.

(Not really looking towards the west much because there aren't a lot of bigger cities to the west that are less than an hour away and it seems like a lot of current cubers are near the north western part of Detroit.)
 
Adrian's too far, I'm in Belleville so Ann arbor is more my suite. If we can get more east side cubers, say taylor, southgate, lincoln park, allen park, area we could meet near over there. But I have no idea who is over there, if anyone.
 
....you didn't have to start a new thread.... that was the whole point of me bumping the other thread....
but I think it would be easier to have it in a mall so maybe Briarwood mall for Ann Arbor?
 
I thought making a new thread would've been better than bumping, and you bumped it after I made this thread, but anyway. That's definitely possible, so do you want to set some sort or meet up date in a few weeks? That way, more people will hopefully see this.
 
Guys pick a day/time/location in the second half of July or the first 3 weeks of August. It looks like most people can do Ann Arbor. Briarwood Mall obviously has enough space no matter what day. Is anyone thinking of a different location?
 
Justkidin123 and I have discussed and the cube meet is going to be on July 29th from 2pm to 6pm at Briarwood Mall (100 Briarwood Circle, Ann Arbor, MI) It's going to be near the middle of the mall where there's a lot of chairs/tables and stuff but it might be moved to another place depending on whether or not they moved those chairs/tables already.
We could hold a mini unofficial competition if people want, discuss it in the thread for events and stuff we're just gonna use regular timers without displays and stuff.
 
We're really trying to get this meet-up rolling, so we've made a Facebook event. If you're able to go join the event on facebook go Here.

I am going 90% sure!
EDIT: I'm 11 years old though, would that matter to you lol?
EDIT: I am coming for sure now, but I don't have a Facebook... I will participate in every wca event, except for 5BLD. Which events are being held here?

I'm pretty sure almost everyone going is under 18.


There's only like 4 or 5 people going....
I'm just going to print out one set of scrambles for every event that was voted on (excluding people making jokes, magic, and speed banana eating) and ignore the fact that some people are going to be scrambling their own cube for their solve because there isn't a lot of people.
So far the list is 2x2, 3x3, 3x3 OH, 4x4, 5x5, pyraminx, megaminx, and magic. We can always add more events.


Make sure people bring their timers if they have one because I only have one timer that works. (but with this many people going so far I don't think it really matters)

Lol there might be some events with only one person. Can we do team BLD and 3BLD? And maybe 2BLD?

And my timer doesn't have a cap, and i use an eraser for the cap. If I slam it too hard, it resets. Are we gonna do other things other than the competition?
EDIT: So far it is me, you, blake, and justkidin123 and 3 maybe people, right?
 
We can add the BLD's.
Everything depends on what people want to do so if people don't want the mini unofficial competition we don't need to do it. I want to discuss how to get another michigan comp maybe. People can just go shopping or something if they want to because it's a mall.


If you guys had 10 rounds of 7x7, I'd come.

....with basically 2-3 people doing 30 7x7 solves? :p

What events do we know have more than 1 person doing? We should spend an hour or two on the mini comp, and thats it. Should we make cut offs for megaminx and 5x5? Does this end at 5 or 6 cuz it says 6 here and 5 on facebook. Im pretty excited, and cant wait to discuss the competition.

It doesn't matter when it ends but the mall closes at 6pm. I don't think cut offs are necessary other than don't go past 10 mins since we won't have a lot of people there. I know I'm not doing 5x5 because I don't have one but if someone lets me borrow one I'll do it. I think the only event that will have one person will be the bld events (other than team).
