Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

Earlier tonight I won a free beer at a bar for doing a 3x3x3 BLD solve!

One of my coworkers is leaving the company today to take a job out of state, and a whole group of us went to a bar/restaurant after work to have some drinks and send him off. My coworkers all know that I cube, and after we had been there for a while and I had had a couple drinks they asked me to do a blindsolve. I went to my car, got a cube, came inside, had them scramble it and then memo'd and did the solve. I didn't have a blindfold, but I held the cube over my head. The solve was around 3-4 minutes as I was kinda tipsy from the drinks and I really wanted to make sure that I got the solve successfully. When doing the last turn I did a little cube flourish and spun the cube in my hand while still holding the cube over my head. The bar went NUTS and everybody starting cheering and a few people even applauded! The crazy part is that after the solve the bartender came up and bought me a beer, so I won a beer on the house and got to have fun cubing with coworkers! All in all it was an awesome night, and I really wanted to share this story!

Your memo is consistently fast, swapping to comms atm? I also give up on my 4th in Oceania at 3bld goal, I consider a big 3bld session anything over one solve :p

I've watched Noah's 3-style tutorial, and I get the basics of it. I think I did a whole sighted corners solve with it once.. but that took quite a while.
Maybe I'll switch after this ao100 (they take several days)
