Good Venues and bad Venues

So My Cube skills had the Catering staff in DC floored. Its weird how people react to the ability to do something i find so simple.

anywho,

As Far as Picking Venues for events goes this is my rule of thumb. Do a Tech Scout. This doesn't mean call up ask for floor plans and ask if it looks nice then base your decision off of some photos you saw on their website. This is the wrong way to do it. So, lets talk about problems at each venue so far.

Boston - Cyclorama [First Venue of the show]
http://www.bcaonline.org/

While it looked nice and had lots of space the acoustics were terrible. The Place was a Giant Brick Dome. if you whispered on one end of the room another person on the opposite side could hear you loud and clear. So When you put speakers and have a presenter do his thing well. You sound like you are in a cave and all you get is echo. That is unless you find a way to make a roof and walls.

NYC - Classic Car Club [second venue of the show]
http://www.classiccarclubmanhattan.com/

Ok, love cars just love them, but this place was a pain. we had to tear down half the show every night so they would have room to move the cars in to the parking garage. Basically we were having the show in a really nice Garage.

DC - Mellon Auditorium [i hope you get the order by now]
http://www.mellonauditorium.com/

Mainly old school and beautiful. The problem was Security was crazy. The fact hat guest had to go through a metal detector was silly. Scanning the truck by homeland security was an inconvenience. And needing to lay carpets down EVERYWHERE just to move something was a hastle.

Dallas - Edison's Event space

So far this has been the nicest venues ive had to deal with as far as tech. no complaints here

Thats about it for now i shall update as i go

Career Advice

Dear People with normal Jobs,

ok, i get asked all the time.

"How do i get a job where i get to travel like you?"

Well, all i can tell you is that its accidental. I didn't go out looking to be in this business it just kinda happened. It does kinda depend on your general career path and im pretty sure if you work in some office job doing paper work its going to be less likely that your career will take you places.

winks,

The Rubik's Cube guy

Busy day in the Life Of a Cuber


So i haven't been updating this as much as i should. It is my intention that in the near future i make weekly updates. Simply to tell my silly stories of being a speed cuber in NYC.

Now, to explain the picture in the corner of the screen. I have been really busy with work and am currently traveling the country with The Macallan Scotch Brand. I am going to set up a separate Docu-Blog of my travels and cubing around the country. Also, I have been made an honorary member of FLIPMODE squad



that was for those of you who dont know who FLIPMODE Squad is

Busta said it him self. Amazing how far a rubik's cube will get you
