Most likely going. I can visit my uncle who lives in Portland.

Yes. As a 14 year old, in a middle class family, I'm expected to be able to just convince my parents to take me to almost literally the farthest part of the country. Also, How is having nats in Las Vegas (according to google maps it's a 6 hour 15 minute drive) in 2012 and 2013 plus worlds 2013 not within 8 hours?
I'm not saying Portland is a bad place to hold Nats, I'm just saying that the Mid west is also up for a turn. In a Country as big as the US, no place will work for every one (although being in the center most big city would help would it not? ) And yes I, and many others have been sounding whiny. That's not a good thing.
Easy for you to say.

ur not expected to do anything. you dont have to go. gee whiz.
And if we held nationals in the midwest, middle class families with younger cubers in the Pacific Northwest could say the exact same thing you're saying, and they haven't ever seen nationals in their area. It's unfortunate that we live in an expansive country, as we cannot pick a location that is easy to travel to for everyone. Even in the middle of the country, a strong majority of people will need to fly. The unfortunate reality is that regular nationals competitors should expect to fly or drive a somewhat long distance on most years, and I regret that we cannot do anything to change that fact. We did the best we could to limit travel expenses when you get here though - there's no need to rent a car to get to the venue from the airport with the shuttle and proximity to the light rail, as well as hosting this event at one of Portland's best value hotels in the summer. (For what its worth, I just did a quick search and found a round-trip fare from KC for under $300 for the week of nationals, which is fairly reasonable for flying )
I've done venue searches for a few cities in the midwest myself, and the ones I found were far more expensive and inaccessible than the venues I found in Portland. It's not a lack of trying to have a midwest nationals, but the stars just didn't align there the past few years.
On a lighter note, any possible unofficial events?
I imagine that will be the case, but I don't think we have any specific plan for it right now. Low priority at this point, but I expect it will happen.
And not feet, sounds like a good comp.
I'm not even kidding xD
k guys ima sweep nats unless faz comes then i'll only sweep half the events
lolno not if I do it first, I'm sub 12.5 right now but I will be sub 7.5 by nats and sub 1.5 on 2x2 globally
how much will registration cost? I kinda would like to have a rough idea how much money I will need to save so I can make up some convoluted plan. I'll probably be doing 2-7, pyra, skobe, sq1, mminx, fmc b/c why not, oh, and not clock oh pls no never clock
Registration cost is not the big money thing; hotel, transportation, etc are
