Declining popularity of this hobby?

I’m in New Jersey, close to Philadelphia. I need to make It out to the NY club one of these days but it’s not exactly close and my weekends are usually busy with the kids, chores, etc. My free time isn’t what it used to be.

Tiki Tiki is closer to me in Woodbury. I haven’t seen any announcements from them in a while though and I’m not sure how big it is or how often they meet. I think it was @bcorliss3 posting on here.

I’m in this comment and I don’t like it.

Hence why I’m trying to start something local.

Dang I didn’t think it was that active and didn’t know there was a Philly club either. I’ll have to come out.

The Philly one is semi defunct but I want to start one back up I’ll prolly wait for spring and nice weather and pick a park, but for sure come to tiki tiki we have people like Tyler severance, Blaise Becker, Kira morrow, very occasionally Colin beckford and Nathan Joseph, plus a whole lot of locals and others you may not have heard of but are amazing players and people

Plus I always bring some protos to club with me so bonus fun!!

I keep toying with starting a club in CT, but I just never seem to have the time…

Washington scene was indeed dead before me and two others worked hard to rally the troops and now our biggest meet had almost 30 people :face_holding_back_tears: its definitely possible to build a scene with consistency!

New plan:
Try and get a celeb to colab with a yoyoer
The celeb tells their friends
Their friends yoyo
Profit
Ooooooor an easy way
Get tickets to an nba game for seats near the players so u can meet them
Show them ur yoyo
Make a lil tiktok/short with them
Give them a yoyo
Profit
But in order to get in an nba game we have to get 2000$
Dont u have like 50 yoyos that cost around 50$ though? Y cant u get the tickets urself then?
Its a big gamble cus u dont exactly know if they will see u
OOOOR!
Have gentry do it for us
Profit :moneybag::money_mouth_face:
OOOOOOOOOOOR!!
Make cringy videos for everyone to see
Profit :moneybag::money_mouth_face::dollar:

Woodbury, NJ isn’t much further and we have club every other week with well established venue but if I start up something in Philly proper I’ll post here for sure!
