US Nationals 2010

[Weston]

I loved nationals last year. By far the best thing I did all summer. I'm going to work my butt off so I can try and place in 2x2 and OH.

Speaking of which, how did I manage not to meet you at nats?

Lol no idea. There were a bunch of people I wanted to meet that I didn't get a chance to. I didn't want to disturb anybody while they were trying to concentrate on their stuff. I almost started talking to Mike Hughey during his MultiBld memo because he was walking around the side room while doing his memo and I thought that he was just taking a stroll. Lol

 

[Mike Hughey]

I'm pretty sure we'll try to be there. We've been wanting a family vacation in New England - lots of good opportunities for educational things for the kids - it should be fun!

I wasn't walking around when I was memorizing - you probably caught me when I was "preparing my rooms" for memo. I go over all my memory locations with the most likely person to be associated with each location before I begin, so I was almost certainly doing that when you thought I was memoing. Thanks for the consideration, and sorry if I seemed overly distracted - it's the one ritual I always do before a big BLD attempt.

What is this joint event they are talking about with canadianCubing?

I'm really pumped for this. I've never been to the northeast, and Boston seems like as good a place as any to start.

 

[ErikJ]

I'll be there. it's nice to have nationals decently close this year.

 

[JBCM627]

To drive or to fly... hmm.

I think it's great that it was announced so far in advance. There's plenty of time for me to try to round up some Texas cubers to go with me.

 

[Davepencilguin]

Anyone know, relatively, what the qualification times will be this year? Correct me if I'm wrong, but last year the 3x3x3 time was 18 seconds, right?
Any chance this will change?

 

[IamWEB]

Everyone keeps saying 'last year', but there's still 1 month left.

@Anthony: *raises hand*

Can I be a Texas cuber to go with you?

You have to go to one more Texas competition to officially become a Texan. Btw, check your YouTube comments if you haven't already.

Alright, sounds good.

Back on topic: Speaking of collaborating with Canada, it would be really cool to kind of combine "Canadian Nationals" with ours. Any chance of ever having a "North American Championship", similar to Europe's?

 

[StachuK1992]

Yes!
This is a great location for Nats! (And I'm not just saying this because it's *only* 8 hours away)
I'll most likely be able to go to this

I volunteer to be speed pyraminx scrambler!

 

[HumungousLake]

Yay! another competetion in Massachusetts you know I'll be there

Can I come with you? Although, I guess I'm not officially a Texan Cuber because I've only been to one competition. I need to figure out how to get my parents to let me go. Maybe if Justin comes, they'll be more likely to let me go.

But seriously, I might be able to make this!
