Carnegie Mellon Spring 2009

[DavidWoner]

I am actually looking forward to OH as well. It's not my favorite, but I haven't been able to take a full average since my first competition, and I am more than 20 seconds faster than that now.

I'm also hoping to beat Jason in a few things this time. I'm gonna take him down in 4x4 and 5x5, and I'm going to win 2x2 as well >_>

I also just realized that this will be my first competition without Bob

So sad.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone going to Carnegie Mellon would be passing by where I am currently located and could give me a ride there and back? I am currently attending Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove PA. If anyone is going and could give me a ride it would be greatly appreciated. I could help pay for gas. Thanks.

You are almost 4 hours away. No one that I know of is passing near Susquehanna. Maybe look into Greyhound from Harrisburg if you can get down there.

Perhaps if I had a bit more notice ::AHEM::

Yeah I'm pretty sure that I'm the only person coming from this side of the state, and I'm just taking the train. I think your only option is going to be to get to Harrisburg and take something from there.

Oh darn, it's the weekend before finals week.

 

[Jhong253]

Exo you are too unlucky

 

[DavidWoner]

Oh darn, it's the weekend before finals week.

Same here, but I have no classes for the 3 days before that weekend to study.

How many timers/displays is Dave bringing? If you need more I can borrow a couple from the Drexel cubers. If Dave is bringing 8 though then I won't bother.

Dave is bringing 8, I think we have enough timers. Bring more cubers if you can, preferably preregister them too.

 

[Dave Campbell]

Yes, I will bring 8 timers, 8 displays, 8 mats, over 10 stopwatches and a few other competition items. Unless Ilkyoo feels differently, I think he is okay on displays.

If you have access to more stackmat timers (with port, obviously) it would be nice to have a couple as back up. I have lots of batteries for them (note: buy some off me if you want, cheap-cheap), but i find sometimes the ports are tempermantal and don't want to display, so you have to swap out chords or timers to find a match that works. Having some spare could be a nice backup in case of emergency.

 

[Edmund]

i have 1 display with timer i could bring but my chord is broken.

AND: is anyone interested in selling me a 4x4 (used or new)? I'm using a rubik's and i want a meffert's or eastsheen.

 

[DavidWoner]

Ok, I'll see about grabbing 3-4 extra timers, do you want me to bring an extra cable or two if there's a problem with one of yours? I am actually trying talk a few of the Drexel Cubers in to coming. Stanley and either Steven or Bill were considering it, it will probably come down to whether or not they will be reimbursed for travel expenses. It would be nice to have some company on the 7 and a half hour train ride.

 

[Dave Campbell]

do you want me to bring an extra cable or two if there's a problem with one of yours?

I suppose it can't hurt and is small enough not to be an impediment. Though, i am fairly certain it is a port issue. I only say this really because though i have eight timers, i usually only run with six active. A few times i had to go and grab one of the other two unused ones to swap out at some point in the day. But if all are in use, i won't have that ability. Hence the request for spares.

Thanks, David.

I will probably use all 8 timers/displays only for the 3x3 first round and maybe the 3x3 BLD. I expect probably 6 timers/displays being used for other events. Dan and I have timers as well, so we should be good with timers.

I can't guarantee any reimbursement.. Phily isn't that far away compared to California. Adam would agree with me [This has nothing to do with ice hockey ]

Haha no I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about them getting reimbursement from Drexel, since they have a legitimate club with a budget and everything.

I just have a quick question about this. Will there be parking available at the campus? I've never been to CMU before so I am not exactly sure what it is like up there, but I know what Pittsburgh is like so it would be nice to know if I could find an easy place to park.

Yes, there is free parking. On the competition date, which is a Saturday, the parking garage right next to the University Center is free.
