I live around the Akron area. I don't even know the part of the family that is throwing the reunion, so maybe I can convince my parents. What time does the competition start?

How many people are usually solving at one time? I'm hoping to catch another guy's and my first competition solves on camera, but I'm not sure what the chances are that we'll both be solving at the same time meaning there's no one to run the camera.

There are 11 events yet 12 prizes... Mysterious isn't it?
Wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

That is doable actually. We would lose the projector, screen and PA though.

Unless we need that all that for a mystery event, I vote we do it outside 90+ is too hot in the summer, but high 50's/60's (forecast says upper 50's :/ a little chilly but it should be fine ), and it's obviously too cold in the winter.

I hope to meet several new people. It's my main reason for going.

That's not that bad.
On another note, does anyone have a black FII that they want to sell me indirectly through a friend? I have sectionals tomorrow for tennis (If tennis was conformist and did sectionals by size, we would be playing teams like Coulumbus South) but a friend of mine will be going to the comp, and i would really like to get ahold of an FII.

Who is your friend Seth? Will you be at Dayton? Tell your friend to talk to me near the end of the comp, if he hasn't gotten one yet, I'll see about letting mine go. I'll also talk to Chester, I know he's got at least one FII (he's got a bag full of cubes), so he might be a bit more willing to part ways with his than I am
Tarpshack: Who are you? Are you by chance Nakai's friend? I'll be wearing a "Speedcuber F2L" shirt, won't be hard to miss, I'm a fat kid (hence the username). If you ever need help with your camera let me, or my friend (also named James) know, both of our girlfriend's are our designated camera operators
Cubemaster13: Really those grades aren't bad at all. You should try to bring those c's up though. How old are you? I'd talk to your mom but I'm not sure how much good that would do My number is in this thread where Chester said we needed to exchange numbers, if you want her to talk to me. I'm 24 so technically I'm an adult, but well, yeah Maybe make her a deal to have more than half a's and the rest b's if she lets you go to this comp? Don't forget dayton next month too! Do you spend more time on your cube time than school work? I have a feeling the reason you have C's are laziness, I had much the same problem in school. Just try to get those C's up, and if you've got all A's and B's, she really doesn't have any room to complain. Please note, I still think those two C's are acceptable.

His name is Alex Miller, he has really long hair. I'll text him and have him talk to you and chester then.Who is your friend Seth? Will you be at Dayton?

Sorry... didn't get this before the comp. I don't know Nakai. I saw you and should have introduced myself, but you seemed pretty busy with judging. My brother and I were Ben and Dan English. We managed to juggle the camera ok. We did however end up in the same solve group. All of you judges were pretty understanding about letting us finish taping though.
I met some people there. Every one was really nice.
@cincyaviation, I actually talked with Alex Miller for a short bit. Nice guy. I couldn't believe he had been cubing for so long but had just now decided to come to his first comp. You should have dragged him to one earlier.

I was going to text him to see how he liked it, but i fell asleep because i was tired
.Looks like we are getting more Cincinnati cubers, eventually we will have to have a meetup.

Seth: Yeah Alex was a pretty cool guy, he definitely should have told me he was your friend. He left pretty soon after the comp, but I'm sure it's for the reason you'll hear about later.
Ethan: I'm not sure what you would call interesting, but nothing record breaking or anything of the sort.
Ben: Man you should have told me! My girlfriend was just reading her Nicholas Sparks book the whole time, so she could have taken a break to hold a camera I judged both of you quite a few times.
There were actually a pretty nice handful of people that I didn't yet know and were decently quick. Steven Fanducci (I'm not sure if that's how to spell his last name) was pretty quick. He's sub30ish in 3x3 but sub1:50 in 4x4, sub3 in 5x5. There were quite a few people with that sort of setup (not sub20 in 3x3 but fairly quick at the other events).
For those that are interested: I failed hard, really really hard. First round I missed the sub20 due to normal pressure (got a 15.72 single though, was happy with that). Second round I got a DNF (timer stopped at 0.25...that was lame), 44s (pop that I couldn't get the piece because of this dumb chair), 17, 18, 21. I should have done much better. I didn't meet any of my goals. I guess you could say I got close to my 2x2 goals, I averaged 7.93 (all ortega) and my goal was to average sub7. I think had there been a finals for 2x2 I might have made a sub7 average.
Mike Hughey would have been almost proud, I almost got a bld solve, was off by 2 edges and 2 corners. The two corners were placed correctly, just permuted incorrectly.
Did you guys know Chester really does like little girls?!
