Send us your US National 2011 pictures!

As you may have noticed, we're putting up pictures from last year onto the US Nationals 2012 home page!

Would you like to have your pictures from last year featured? If anyone has pictures hosted online on a public sharing website (such as photobucket, shutterfly, etc.) that they would like to share, send me an email (acsix at princeton dot edu) with "US Nationals 2011 Pictures" in the subject. Please send the links to the pictures (not the actual files!), formatted this way:

Image URL | Thumbnail URL | Title Text

For example:

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procgtaserv/47a1d632b3127cce985489e7cba900000035100AatWLVk3cM2Rg | http://im1.shutterfly.com/procgtaserv/47a1d632b3127cce985489e7cba900000038100AatWLVk3cM2Rg | 3x3 Speedsolve

This will make it easier to process all the links. Your pictures could wind up at the top of the home page for everyone to see! If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks!

So.. I'm the one who made the structure for the image gallery last year, and I intended it to be a temporary thing, thinking Facebook wouldn't mind me direct linking a few pictures, and also thinking someone would come along and improve it if they actually liked it. If this is going to be more than temporary and accepting images from different sources, you should consider downloading the images and hosting them on CubingUSA, because not everyone is cool with direct linking (and in fact it's bad netiquette).

It's also less reliable in several ways. I do hope we make sure to host images ourselves.

Let's discuss it by email. I'm sure we can figure it out.

I'm wondering if the setup this year will be similar to last year's Nationals. I thought the setup was perfect with the tables. Will there be natural light there as well?

Me too.

I SO EXCITED for this competition, but I'm okay with the wait because I'll just practice more to win.

We (I?) meant our (my?) first time going to Nationals, not to a competition in general.

Oh look, a post without lol or : )!
Until now.

I heard that after Vegas there will be a comp in Canada about 1000 km "north". I have also been invited to visit Peter and Jasmine in Washington. Combined that means a Washington-Vegas-Canada road trip for about 2.5 weeks. Anyone interested in joining?

(yes, I am just back from 1.5 year in Asia and already planning my next travel adventures)

I can confirm that Vancouver's 'planning' to have a competition a week after Nats. Nothing definite yet, though.

Looks doable and with the Grand Canyon in there it looks like a very nice trip. More than 6 months to plan, so I am not worried about the details (yet)

 

[Mudkip]

Well, I could probably make it. I'll just wait till I'm a bit faster though, before going to such a big comp..

 

[IamWEB]

Is that sarcasm? If you can go to a competition, GO! Especially one of this size.

Seconded (by a guy who just came back from Worlds where he saw people do a sup 1 average)

WOW That's quite a drive. Washington, DC is a 5 hour FLIGHT from Vegas. Have fun, you'll get to see many cornfields on your way.
