SF Yo-Yo Meetup: October 5th at Yerba Buena Gardens

A flier made from cut up magazine pages, water color paint, white acrylic paint, and black ink from a rubber stamp. The flier says "SF yo-yo meetup, October 5th at Yerba Buena Gardens"

The next SF Yo-Yo Meetup is on Saturday, October 5th, at 3pm in Yerba Buena Garden in San Francisco. It’s free and open to yo-yoers of all skill levels. I’ll probably be there from 3-5:30pm and can bring some yo-yos for sale if anyone is interested in picking up a DIY or PLTPS.

We’ll be meeting at the Yerba Buena Garden park, near the Metreon. If the weather is rainy or way too windy, we’ll move inside the Metreon’s food court area. There will be live music in the park earlier that day, so feel free to get there early and enjoy it.

A map of Yerba Buena Park and the Metreon. There is a pin dropped on the map on the green grass area near Mission Street.

Faye Webster’s Yo-Yo Invitational

A flier for Faye Webster's YoYo Invitational. It shows a horned creature that looks like a lizard person (or maybe a demon) that is playing with yo-yos. It is giant and is crushing and destroying the buildings and cars beneath it. Text says "Presented by Brain Dead, Saturday September 28th, Zellerbach Auditorium, Berkeley, CA"

Faye Webster is hosting a yo-yo contest in Berkeley?! https://www.ticketmaster.com/faye-webster-yoyo-invitational-berkeley-california-09-28-2024/event/1C006123F08D67C6

“Longtime yo-yo lover Faye Webster has announced the Faye Webster Yo-Yo Invitational, a one-day extravaganza featuring 12 of North America’s top yo-yo pros. The yo-yo masters will show off their most dazzling tricks in a no-rules exhibition, on September 28, at the Zellerbach Auditorium in Berkeley, California.”.

The event takes place on September 28th in Berkeley, CA. Here is a link. Sadly, I won’t be able to make it.

Here’s some footage of Faye doing yo-yo tricks back in 2020. She even does one of my tricks, The Gondola, in this video.
