SF Yo-Yo Club this Saturday, June 13th

A yellow circular creature playing with a yo-yo. It sort of looks like Pac-Man but with arms and legs. It’s yo-yoing and almost hit a parrot that was flying above it. The flier says “SF Yo-Yo Club at 826 Valencia. All ages. On the second Saturday of month. Human-made art by DocPop.”

The San Francisco Yo-Yo Club is coming up on this Saturday, June 13th from 2-5pm at 826 Valencia, and I hope to see you there!

This event is open to everyone and happens on the second Saturday of each month at 826 Valencia. It’s free to attend, but if you can donate to 826 Valencia (our host) that’s always appreciated. See you then!

Since it’s 5A May, I encourage folks to bring a counterweight and learn some freehand tracks. No pressure though.

San Francisco Yo-Yo Club: Feb 7th, 2026

An animated gif that says "SF Yo-Yo Club" and shows a pink yo-yo and the Transamerica Tower. The art is hand drawn in style that looks like risograph print.

Howdy y’all, the SF Yo-Yo Club will start having regular meetings once a month at 826 Valencia. This is a non-profit space with a cool back room for us to hang out in.

Our next meeting is on Feb 7th, 2026 from 2-5pm. After that, we’ll switch to meeting on the second Saturday of each month (March 14th, April 11th, etc).

A flier for the SF Yo-Yo Club that shows a large pink yo-yo and the Transamerica Tower (a large building in San Francisco). Text at the bottom of the poster says "San Francisco Yo-Yo Club, February 7th from 2-5pm at 826 Valencia."

This is a few blocks away from a couple of BART stations, but there are also a few big parking garages close to the venue. This is being held at a non-profit creative writing space that also happens to be pirate themed. Any donations go directly to the space.

PopCast Yo-Yo Vlog: Comic Books and Yo-Yos

A colorful drawing of Doc Pop reading a comic book and a several yo-yos flying out of the book and into the air. Doc reacts as they fly past him.

PopCast is a crowdsponsored yo-yo show. Huge thanks to John Anderson, Taka From Spingear, Doc Lucky, and the rest of my sponsors on https://www.patreon.com/docpop In this episode, I get to talk about two of my favorite topics: yo-yos and comic books. I talk about some comics I made, show some of my favorite yo-yo-themed comics, and interview Carl Angel about the artwork he did for “Pedro’s Yo-Yos”.
