The Modern Art of Yoyoing: This Ain't Your Grandpa's Butterfly

DID YOU KNOW:

  • decent yoyos will spin for as long as 10 minutes?
  • rocket and aircraft scientists are engineering insanely awesome yoyos in their free time?
  • there are 9 styles of play for yoyo competitions?
  • that people hold yoyo competitions?
  • a good yoyo can cost over $100?
  • yoyoing is superawesomefunfunfun?

Come learn why yoyoing has become my favorite distraction from writing code, and get a taste of the brilliant insanity that is the modern yoyo.

I'll bring a handful of yoyos, teach some cool yoyo tricks, and describe all the goofy awesomeness of the yoyoing community (yeah, yoyoing has a community).

If you brought a yoyo to Denver, bring it along and show it off!

And sorry to break it to you, but nobody walks the dog anymore.

Yoyoing is super awesomefunfunfun!
