-For Forte’s birthday, Sarah and I are totally going to fly to Vancouver and take him to Top Gun Hot Pot?
-After DNFing in BLD, Forte was forced (by himself) to wear the hat of shame (his sweater) for the rest of the day?
-After Square-1 that it became the hat of triumph?
-4 people attended the “afterparty”, which became 3 shortly after?
-Ibrahim is a machine?
-Forte is a born dancer?
-The Canadian NR for fastest female single was broken twice?
-Ibrahim’s sub 10 was nonlucky?
-My 19.xx OH was very lucky?
-Forte spent his walk home solving his Rubik’s World?
-Sarah uses a lot of confusing wide turns during teamsolving, which makes it really hard for me to keep track of what’s going on?
-Scrambling is fun?
-But not Square-1 scrambling?
-Dave and I tried to rush Takao through so he could scramble, but we had to rescramble his Square-1 a LOT?
-We even tried one person scrambling and one person reading out the scramble?
-If I didn’t +2 (by mispredicting AUF) I would have had a low to mid 3 2x2 average?
-The scrambler’s table was right in front of a sunny window, which made it really hot?
-On my walk back to the hotel, a kind man offered me “a little joint”?
-People don’t know that it’s more polite to ask before using someone’s cube?
-and REALLY can’t take a hint?
-There is now a Square-1 shape called “man looking at stars”?
-I had a 53 OH PLL skip?
-That the Roux method can be described as “CH, CH, CHCHCHCH, CHCH CHHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCH”?
-Forte’s a much better yeller than I am?

LOL
I would have helped with sq-1 scrambling, except I couldn't since I was competing in it

that was freaking hilarious, it was more of a visual joke though
ask Forte about it, he's the one who came up with that

Actually, I was pointing to an invisible puzzle where the different steps were happening and making appropriate noises for them. I didn't know how to explain EO so I just made lots of hand motions :p

And what's this etc. business? "Rowe" method has no etc.

You had to be there guys!

Much like the broken wine bottle, this does NOT always happen ;)

Thanks again to all the participants and volunteers. I didn't get to participate in much of the social aspects, so I didn't get to talk to everyone (kinda too much running around), but I do plan to put out another cube meet come end of October (for the Vancouver guys, get on the facebook group!).

What does everyone think about a competition in Spring of 2009? By then, a West Coast delegate should be selected.

Did you know that...

- Thomas predicted that in the finals, either Desie and I would win, and the other one would screw up and DNF?
- he was completely wrong?
- Desie is now the fastest female cuber in the world with a 13.32 average?
- Forte is absolutely hilarious?
- there was a restaurant called "Top Gun Hot Pot" (see pic) in Crystal Mall, and Forte want to go there for his birthday?
- Justin and I hate 6x6x6 scrambling, since several of the 6x6x6s were new and not broken it or modded?
- a camera is a.k.a. a "moment capturing device"?
- microphone, microphone....MICROPHONE?
- Justin has an adorable smile?
- Forte and I tried doing team BLD in Japanese, but instead Forte just spoke in English with an Asian accent?
- my second 7x7x7 solve (the DNF) had an exposion, and 10-15 pieces flew out of it?
- Vince did an OH solve while eating Tim Horton's doughnuts?
- My 22.xx OH solve was my fastest OH solve ever?
- I did a superflip after one of my 3x3x3 solves in the first round to purposely get a DNF since it was a bad time?
- Roux was often mispronouced as "Row" or "Rouks"?
- the first BLD scramble was ridiculous, and had 4 or 5 (I don't remember exactly) edge cycles?
- I now have 12 official BLD DNFs in a row?
- I took 3 of Jayden's sharpies, since he left them behind?
- Justin and I DNF'd the same OH solve (3rd solve in the finals)?
- In the finals, Desie and Ibrahim's 3x3 averages were 0.02 apart, and so were mine and Justin's?
- I now have at least 1 DNF single in every event that I've competed in thus far?
- Forte, Justin and I went on the skytrain together after VO, and Forte decided he wants to learn CLL on the Rubik's world?

now you know :D


edit:

- when the results from the first 3x3 and OH rounds were displayed, I drew a smiley face beside my 10.21 3x3, wrote "BEAST" beside Justin's 19.11 OH, and a "lol" beside my DNFs?
- Thomas said I used a weirdass colour scheme, but I corrected him by saying it was badass
- Kevin had a 31.69 magic average and 1:25.69 magic single?
- 3 people asked me where I got my hat from?
