Does anyone know who exactly it was that was doing the filming? The guys with the cameras on the rolly tripod and the boom mic I think was IMAX, but what about the camera crane?

Dude I completely agree with you; during the awards when people were chanting "USA" Feliks was just mouthing "USA". I felt so bad for him

Haha nah just to clarify - I was completely fine with all of that, I was just as excited for Collin as everyone else!
Thanks for a great comp guys - it was a little cramped, and a little dark, but heaps of fun!

I agree it was kind of harsh, but I bandwagon quite a bit... My bad.
Any updates on the thievery? Didn't find much at reception.

I'd like to see the 23 moves on the second solve, the scramble and solution may be fun to watch!

DYK:
Square-1 top 4 were the same order in both rounds?
all of square-1 top 4 have been US National Champion at some point?
no flash photography?
Mats stole my french fry?
2nd floor balcony=almost as good as skybox?
my new average beat my old single in 3 events (5x5, 6x6, and FMC)?
i missed 5x5 final by .2 seconds?
Thompson was born in St. Lucia?
Thompson should totally pull an Emile and represent St. Lucia in the WCA?
Whoever was chanting USA USA after Feliks' last solve is a Royal A$$hat?
Feliks is a great sport for going along with the USA USA thing on the podium?
Silly Eric forgot to register?
Waffo is so ****ing hydrated?
I sat with David Adams and John Tamanas for hours without realizing who they were?
Chris Braeidy is the best sq-1 team blind solver?
I forgot to compete in 4x4?
3BLD podium was the best thing ever?
Canadians call napkins serviettes?
Andy Smith wins at filling out finals questionnaire?
Kevin wins at walkout song?
John wins at popping in finals?

Seriously? An eye for an eye went out of style a long time ago. You seriously have a lot of growing up to do.
I disagree. I do think that some people didn't get the correct scramble(s) though.

I have someone's October 2013 stackmat. That's the only marking on it. I'm also missing my stackmat. idk what the date was, but it has a chunk out of the upper right corner of the reset button.
If I have your stackmat or if you have mine, PM me.

I have your stackmat and you have mine. We can't do anything about it at the moment, because I'm losing internet access for 3 weeks in a few hours, so we'll talk then

Oh, that's why it got stolen. Thanks for feedback! And support!
Lol if I were to guess why it actually got stolen it's because nobody over the age 12 likes you (but that's just my opinion).
In all reality it was probably an accident. And you acted out in the most immature way, but again, that's not surprising.

Next time I go to a big comp, I'm installing a mini LoJack into all of my cubes. Ironically, you could leave your phone on the table and no one would steal it, but you could leave your stackmat or $10 Aolong on the table and it would be stolen. It was probably just a bunch of 11 or 12 year olds that don't know right from wrong. It's pretty sad really.

Did you check the name? It has some dark lettering. The front also has tape that is hard to see, but you can feel. But yeah, I'd guess it is Jacob's.

I disagree with most of this. The noise was okay, I guess. It was very hard to fond a spot to watch for many events, mostly due to the competing area being level with the floor, if it had been elevated everyone would have been able to see better.
There would have been plenty of space to chill out if this comp had 100 people. But that was not the case. I think most people will agree that finding tables and chairs was difficult due to the overall lack of them.

DYK:
- It took Jeremy 3 tries to scramble my clock for the first solve of finals?
- It was worth the wait, because I got a 6?
- Feliks gave me a 7x7, so I think that means I'm sponsored by Feliks?
- There are 6 (holds out fingers) sides to a Rubik's cube?
- We recreated the last supper with Collin as Jesus and Feliks as Judas?
- Beth Jay?
- Ian Scheffler is an awesome writer and you should all check out his article in The Guardian?
- The most frustrating thing about the lack of seating was that the venue was kicking people out of the open tables in the café because they were for "cafe guests only"?
- Candlewood Suites is a top tier 2-star hotel?
- I have so many more... ?
