The V-cube tournament the next day seems to bring it to a really high level and I am wondering who else will be there, Dan Cohen travels here also....
We should convince all top cubers to come there and make it the unofficial world championships :D
I hope this time we don't stand that close to the crowd and have some more place to relax.

I am sad that I can't go to the V-Cube tournament because my best friend is celebrating his birthday saturday/sunday.
 
I know that Erik, Frank Morris, Michal Halzcuk, Kamil Zielinski, and I are definitely going to be there (for the v-cube competition of course). There may be a few others who come, but that's not worked out yet. This v-cube competition will be sort of like a mini bigcubes world championships. If you have any possibility of coming, I would highly suggest it, as it will be a great event.

Most of us will be there for german nationals as well.
 
Somehow V-Cube day will not really be about V-Cubes for me:

5x5x5: I will use my Rubiks because it's still faster for me than V5
6x6x6: The only V-Cube I will use. I just hope that nobody will get hurt from all the pieces that will be flying around
7x7x7: Not really a cube, now is it?

Seriously: I am really looking forward to another crazy cube-competition-weekend. It will be the first time for me doing 3 different big competitions in 1 weekend (WCA-German, Unofficial V-Cube, Golden oldy weekly)

Awesome that you're going to be able to make it Dan. Nice to hear Frank is going too. Good luck.
 
I live about 15 minutes away of the competition, so maybe I will be there. ;)

It takes place at the annually games convention. I will be there for all four days, as every year.

This year I won't compete, but I will be at the competition.

If anyone of you wants to go to an irish pup or anything like that after the convention, just let me know.

That sounds like a "call me, I won't call you" option. How are we supposed to contact you? It would be so much easier if you would just meet up with the dozens of other cubers at the end of the competition

Just talk with me at the competition. ;)

I just wanted to help to find a location if anyone wants to go out after the competition.

Btw. I haven't seen Stefan in the list for the competition, does anyone know why?
 
If I understand correctly Stefan's message (my German is really rusty :mad:), Stefan had a problem with people smoking at German Nationals 2007 and decided he would not attend the 2008 edition if he had no guarantees it wouldn't happen again. Is that correct ?
 
Stefan, we both talked at the competition last year and I told you, that there will be a new law soon.
Smoking is now not longer allowed.


Q
 
The request for a guarantee was for a TV interview, not the competition. *They* wanted something from *me*, so I was entitled to specify conditions. That's not the case for competitions. (Plus the competition organizers have no control over the toy fair, whereas the TV people do have control over their studio).

Q: Smoking was also strictly forbidden in the airplane hangar where I was hired for cube demonstrations a few years ago. But they simply organized a "special permission" for smoking there. I learned the lesson, won't fall for that again. And last year the toy fair already lied to me about smoking being forbidden.

Maybe I'll be there again next year if this year it turns out to be smoke-free.

Anyway, to those who'll be there I wish lots of fun and great competitions.

I know, but last year you left for the blindcubing event because of the smoke.
You don't need to, this year.

Is this law in effect already?

It is. Sadly the pubs have found a hole in that law and organize themselves as "smoker's clubs". You have to become a member to enter those pubs, but then smoking is allowed there.

But at the convention smoking has to be forbidden.



Q
 
Ah, right... the cereal... I came up with a good name for it as well. I'll make a website or video about it this weekend (borrowed my dad's camera a few days ago).

I might go to UK Open. Now let's not talk about my issue anymore.
