I'm looking forward to seeing you again, Nan.

It was all my pleasure, Nan. I had a great time lasting nearly 6 hours.
For the rest of you, we were joined by first-timers Jeremy Fleischman
and Matt Galla who had never met on-line community members like this.
Matt was the second person to solve the unbelievably large 120 Cell
puzzle
predicted would never happen. Now there are 7 solutions. Boy was I ever
wrong! Jeremy
cross-over from the speed-solving community which is wonderful because
our respective communities don't overlap nearly as much as we should.
Both of these fellows had so much to share. Jeremy's fastest 3^3 solve
is under 10 seconds! It was fun to have someone there to reset the cubes
that kept getting scrambling. He seemed happy to have found a practical
use for his hard-won skill. Brandon who came to the first meet-up was
very much missed.
I can't even begin to list the various topics that we covered or all the
great ideas that were produced. I'm sure that each of us came away with
at least a couple of exciting things that we intend to explore, and
hopefully you will see some of the results over time.
Like Nan, I hope that we can do this again soon. Maybe we should at
least turn it into a yearly event with sister events happening in
Austin, Poland, and other locations where more than one or two of us
live. If you are interested in doing that, please feel free to use this
list as a forum for organizing a meet-up in your area.
Attached is a photo we took just as we were breaking up with our heads
stuffed full of puzzling goodness. Here's also a snap I took of a
sidewalk in SF that appears to be contain 4D cubes in strips of embedded
brass.
Happy puzzling!

Awesome! Clearly the best date is turning out to be Jan 26, so no

BART station and avoids the sometimes unpredictable downtown traffic.
It's also a super cute neighborhood with several nice coffee shops and
eateries. Once I get an idea of the likely group size I may scout
around for a different place since that coffee shop is very tiny.
Anyone can also contact me at the last minute coordination via my cell
at 415-972-XRAY (9421).

Hi Melinda,
Thanks for planning. I'll definitely go, and there are more people
talking on this thread:

Can anyone suggest a place to go?

After talking for what seemed like 2 hours we discovered we had been
chatting for 6 and didn't break up until after 8 hours straight! We are
currently looking at Saturday January 19th and 26th. If any of you are
close enough or dedicated enough to make the trek, please let me
know if
only one of those dates would work for you.
I'm sorry that most of you are too far to make this practical for you
but I encourage you to try to find and meet with other list members who
might be close to you. Some of your profiles contain your location
which
is probably the best way to find others near you. I think you should be
able to see those locations in the member's list
in "expanded"
view. The rest of you may wish to add your locations to your
profiles if
you are interested in meeting other nearby members.
Happy New Year!
