I decided that instead of us Texas cubers talking to each other in random threads or PM's it would be nice to have a designated thread. So here you go fellow Texans.

Want to meetup sometime? Need a place to stay for an upcoming competition? Have a good idea of a possible venue for a future competition? Want to find out how your times compare to people in your area? Have any questions about anything?
Post away. :)

Also, the first time you post in this thread, you might want to give us a general idea of who you are. If you do, post your name, age, average times, how long you've been cubing, favorite events, where you live, whatever you want, just give us some info. You don't have to if you don't want to, but it would be helpful. :)

Anyway... I'm Anthony, a 15 year old from South Texas, and I average around 13 seconds for 3x3 speed.

I live in Midland, TX, and I've been cubing for about five months. My favorite events are 3x3 speed and 5x5. I've got averages in my signature since I'm too embarrassed to post them. :p

Truncator, Ashmnafa, vrumanuk: None of you have WCA IDs listed which leads me to assume that none of you have ever competed officially before; so I hope to see you all at our next competition. Afaik, Sapan (Texas' delegate) has reserved a room at UT on November 14th, and we're waiting on WCA approval before officially announcing the competition. Details to come soon.

I'm William, I've been 15 for 7 days now :). I'm from Michigan, but I live in the Dallas metropolitan area, and I average around 19 seconds for 3x3x3 speed.
I've been out of 'real' practice for many weeks, but I have done just enough cubing to maintain my average. I'm resuming practice soon!

My only 2 competitions have been the previous 2 Texas ones, in Dallas first and Houston 2nd. I will likely be there for the next one. :)

Nice to 'meet' you all. :D

3x3x3 PB average of 12: 15.63 i think? I got REALLY LUCKY.
PB single: 9.53 LL skip (also 11.58 PLL skip, 10.38 nonlucky, 11.98 nonlucky, very rare 12-14's, rare 15's, some 16's...)

Sounds good, hopefully I won't be busy that weekend.

My name is Eddie I am 14 and live in deep south Texas I'v been cubing since late January. I practice several types of 3x3x3 solves since i can't find any other type of puzzle. I've never been to to a competition since there are none close enough to where I live.

Deep south texas?!
In the Valley?

If so, what city? I live in the middle of Harlingen and Brownsville, how south are you?

I'm Casey. I've been cubing since 2004. I kind of quit sometime in 2007, and I just started competing again earlier this year. Right now I'm averaging around 15-16 seconds. I haven't been on this forum in a while, so Anthony's been bugging me to get a new account. :rolleyes:

I'm not a native Texan, but I've spent the past several years in central Texas. I'm currently at Trinity University in San Antonio.
