Lawrence, Kansas competition

[biscuit]

Any more east idea's? (like stated oak park and town center are what I say right now)

 

[Rocky0701]

I am fine with both of those too. Preferably a weekend/friday also. The only other ideas I have would be maybe outdoors like a park, beause that would grab less unwanted sttention than somewhere busy. I don't have any stackmat timers though.

I don't think a park would work because it depends on the weather. Also there are no/few bathrooms, places to eat, tables, etc.
I have a stackmat timer, ill bring it. And for selfish reasons my vote is for the mall.

That's true. What are the selfish reasons? Living close? I live pretty close so I am good with it. Anyone wanna do any cube trading too?

 

[Zyrb]

Yeah lol, I live close. I might wanna trade, l'll bring all my cubes.

there are some parks w/ pavilions and bath rooms... But I agree that inside would be better.
I would say town center would be better because
1) (And what I care about more) it's closer to me
2) because it (probably) will be less crowded (especially in the Barnes and nobles... I would think)
3)Where would we do it in the mall

one disadvantage is that we probably would have a little bit less room then at the mall. But then again at the Starbucks (inside Barnes and nobles) they have a good amount of tables that could work well

 

[biscuit]

BUT I do know a place at the mall where they have a good amount of tables (I believe another Starbucks... lol) It's also near the entrance

 

[Zyrb]

I think the mall would be a great way to publicize cubing, but I will go either way. I always want more Kansas cubers. Maybe before we decide on the location we can decide on the date. Though I definitely think it should be on a weekend.

 

[biscuit]

11th 18th and 25th are dates I could do it (Saturdays) 11th I have a meet at 8am, 18th I would have to leave at 4(pm) at the latest but I don't have anything on the 25th. (This weekend definitely would not work for me as my church has a world wide event that day) another thing is I know Barnes and nobles sells a few cubes (I got a Vcube3 there) So we could contact them and let them know... Maybe they would do something cool. Probably not but hey maybe.

 

[Rocky0701]

Do we want it soon before the comp. or sometime after?

Edit: Ninja'd by biscuit, those dates look like they'll work. I need to ask my parents.

 

[biscuit]

Although right now we only have 4 people say they are interested. If you know anybody that might be interested talk to them. Danchoi you should keep pushing for a comp... Show that there is interest (name off the people who responded here) and maybe you can get one... I would be on the organizing board/judge/scramble if needed.

I trained for 3 billion years to ninja on forums... It's an art

EDIT: Although after could work to. We could do this more than once if it's fun... Maybe we could start a thread in the local cubing group sub forum

 

[Rocky0701]

I would kind've prefer before actually for a couple of reasons. 1.) I want to meet some of you guys before the comp. 2.) I want to be able to try out Zyrb's stackmat for a couple of solves so I don't get a fail DNF at the comp. and 3.) I have a marching band competition on Nov. 1 so I don't know how long I will be able to stay at the comp. The only other people I know would maybe want to go are TheNextFeliks who was the guy who first responded to your OP because we were thinking about doing a meetup a couple of months ago and RjFx2 but he hasn't been on here lately.

 

[biscuit]

Do you have any way to talk to RJ, rocky?

EDIT: At the mall there is a Barnes and nobles to.

 

[Rocky0701]

Just through PM on here. I already PMed him as soon as I saw this thread and he hasn't responded.

 

[Rocky0701]

Ok. The 11th doesn't work for me, but I am free the 18th and 25th. The 25th us preferable though.

 

[biscuit]

25th is best for me to... what time? I can do anything after like 10. I would say like 1-3 (or longer) that or 10-1 or something. Does this work for anyone else?

 

[Rocky0701]

I am good with either pretty much any time then. Hopefully this would work for other people too. So are you thinking an actual unofficial comp. or just meet up?

 

[Zyrb]

That's sorted then. There will be a meet-up of some kind on the 25th! Have we agreed on the mall or town center?

 

[biscuit]

Check that ... Won't work. Obviously if no other times work that look's good for every one else. What about the 18th? 1-3 seems good to me.
