Subject: [Speed cubing group] some of you owe me
Okay, so this is what happened. Originally, I was going to do US
Nationals at Caltech, and everything was going to be very quick and
easy, but then someone, and I think his name begins with a "Mike,"
spoke up and said that something like Vegas would be really fun. Then
more of you guys, (rhymes with badam) chimed in and agreed that US
Nationals 2006 in Vegas would be really fun.
I'm really close to this. However, I need help from you guys.
Basically, I'm going to look like a fool if we can't draw 100
competitors, so please help me out. The competition is scheduled for
August 5 and 6. That's a weekend, Saturday to Sunday.
We had 56 people for US Nationals. Everyone native to California is
within driving distance of Vegas. That should be 100 people right
there. PLEASE HELP ME! I'm putting a lot on the line here. If this
thing flops, I look like a big fool, people get pissed at me, and all
that other stuff, and it just sucks a lot for me.
So yeah, tell your friends, get people addicted to cubing, get people
to go to US Nationals. Look at your calendars, try to keep August 5 to
6 free, and yes...
The goal... 100 competitors, or else Tyson sucks. I'll look really bad
if 20 people show up to this thing.
Is money your problem? I have ideas to help you raise money. If you
can find a large group of people who want to learn how to cube, I'll
try to work out a way so that you can get cubes for cheap, sell them,
and make some money to go to Vegas.
Or do what Frank Morris does and get a company to sponsor you.
Please come!
Note - Vegas is not finalized yet, but it's getting really close, and
I'm going to be very nervous if it does get finalized... because I'm
basically promising them 100 competitors. We had 56 in San
Francisco... we should be able to do 100 for a national competition.
