US Nationals and Open

I am coming for sure and will participate in everything, except 5x5x5 blind. I have a tournament the week before (Czech Open) and will take 1 or 2 weeks vacation. Maybe I will even fly directly from Czech to the US if that is faster/cheaper/more convenient.

As soon as I have paypal working I will register, but Tyson (and many others) already know I am coming
 
I'll be there, and I'll be doing 3x3, 4x4, and BLD. My buddy Cliff will be there, and I think he's doing what I'm doing plus OH.

Maybe I'll enter FMC again and see if I get lucky with another PLL skip. Who knows.
 
I'm signed up for everything except clock (don't have one) and pyraminx (would probably be disqualified because it tends to fall apart when scrambling, and I'm terrible at it anyway).

I'm beginning to doubt that I will be able to participate in fewest moves, though, since I'll probably be busy doing multiBLD at the same time. I really need to ask the organizers about that - if it will be possible to do both, if I wind up doing a 2-hour multiBLD. I was gonna just do 10 cubes or so with multi (so then maybe I would be able to join the fewest moves in progress after I finished), but with my very close near-success this week, I'm thinking I really need to do a few more than that. I'd love to do them both, but I'll have to see what their policy is. (I am always perfectly happy to abide by whatever the organizer policy is at competitions, so I will do whatever they allow.) Maybe they will allow me to do it first, or afterwards, or something. I wonder what their general policy for people doing both main and side events is? Last year at the US Open, I remember they let those doing side events participate early in the main events so they could do the side events, at least in some cases.

My daughters Marie and Rebecca will be there too; Marie will do 2x2x2, 3x3x3, Magic, Master Magic, and Rebecca will do 3x3x3, 4x4x4, Magic, and Master Magic.

I'm doing every event except for OH and 5x5BLD... let me see if I can coax Tyson into letting me do 5x5 BLD for free...
 
I've booked a room at the "official" hotel. I look forward to meeting you too, Arnaud; as well as some of the other Europeans that are coming over, since there are limited opportunities to meet them. It will also be good to meet some of the other people that are coming that I haven't met yet, as well as to get to see again those people I haven't seen in awhile.

My best hope is in fewest moves solving. Also, I hope to become 2nd oldest BLDer.

Is the competition really outside? Since the venue was changed to Underground Atlanta, I hadn't heard anything about whether it's inside or outside. I was hoping that it was now going to be inside (air-conditioned, no wind/rain). Otherwise I hope the weather is really nice for two days.

I believe it will be in the event room. I might drive down there this weekend and check it out.

I hope so. It might be the deciding factor for whether or not I go to the competition.
 
I'm going too, from Spain.

Two other spanish guys, Ernesto Fernandes and Manuel Lopez are comming with me.

See you over there guys!

I'm looking forward to flying to the states. It's going to be a really nice competition, I'm pretty sure about that!

Cheers!

David
