Rochester is pretty easy to get around. Hotels out by the airport would probably be a 15-20 minute drive to the venue. Everything else in the northwest is going to be 5 minutes.

Whoa, is the 2 rounds of 4x4 a typo? Because I see a second round of pyra on the schedule, but not a first.

Lol.

So apparently when you judge a Chris Olson 2.41 2x2 average you also receive a hug and a "OMG I love you!!!". Just letting others know so you don't have to suffer like i did.

Did you know...
...it was one of the smallest events in a while I've hosted?
...but we still go to have all the rounds?
...I was going to do horrible in Pyraminx so that another person could advance, but I forgot how to do Pyraminx?
...I used to hold the Pyraminx NAR?
...I also have forgotten Square-1?
...I placed 3rd in Square-1 at US Nationals 2007?
...I got a 15.97, but I can't remember if it was an LL skip, or if I had to just do one step of my 4-look LL?
...my younger daughter was competing in WCA competitions when she was 3, but Chris Olson did other things when he was 3?
...the Packers won the Superbowl?
...the definition of "banter"?
...no one likes Caffeine-free Coke?
...I am completely unhip?
...people at the after party got to come and see my cube collection?
...my home address was already programmed into their GPS?

 

[Tobs]

Did you know...
...I finally made it to my first competition, after many tries to get to one?
...I was so nervous in the first round that I failed pretty much every single solve?
...I made a sucess in BLD even though I haven't made a solve at home for over 3 months?
...I got a new OH single personal record in the first round? (27.xx)
...I shouldn't drive, according to Chris B.?
...the corners from first BLD scramble were messed up really stupid?
...I hate the way English speaking people (except Bryan's little daughter) say my name, but I gave up to correct them and I don't really care anymore?
...I hope that I will be able to visit Minnesota at the same time as the competition in the future, so I could compete again? (hopefully in two years when I am done with school in Germany.

Lol the main reason people clapped late is because everyone was like wtf.
