Cubing in public when being megaslow; do or don't?

[cincyaviation]

I picked up my GF by cubing (been over a year now). Public cubing helps for getting used to crowds for competitions but I do tend to choke when people film me. PB was on a bus in front of a bunch of school kids wanting to time me, heh.
Been training for the NZ competition less than 2 weeks away on the train to work (I owe Feliks a cheeseburger for every WR he breaks) and people keep asking if I'm entering (it's being advertised on TV).

I cube in public and just get strange looks. Most of the time, people just nudge their friend and whisper, "Whoa did you see that kid?" or they just stop, stare, and then look away after then make sure they imagined it.

lol I was trying to impress this kid with my 48 second average when another kid came and said "It's not that impressive, lots of people can do it too!" :fp

So this guy in my school was solving it in 3 minutes and I happened to be standing nearby. Someone watching recognized me and said "Hey, it's that kid, he can solve it in 20~seconds!" and they all flock around me. I'm like what...?

I personally don't like the attention that I get from it. People who watch you everyday on the other hand, get bored of it. =/

How old are you guys? I keep seeing the word kid get thrown around. I'm starting to feel old around here... >_>

Go do it. You'll be amazed at the way people go into shock after seeing someone cube. The best part is, that they might just ask you how you do it, and they seem to understand every word you say when you 'teach' them friedrich
