I pull mine out pretty much everywhere. Have been offered some decent cash from people, but, since I’m just messing around, would feel bad taking it from them.

Although, when at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, someone asked if I worked there. o\_O; No, but, uh… thanks?

Well when I get bored when I’m out, sometimes I take out my yoyo and throw, I’ve had quite a crowd of people once but haven’t for money yet. Hoping to do that this summer.

I do it at the mall… Usually when I’m in the street, I’m involved in a conversation with a friend or doing something else, but if standing in one spot, sure why not!

My friends and I went out on the Balboa Pier and got $10 in like 2 hours. Not worth it if you ask me, especially dividing it up three ways.

On an unrelated topic, have you ever been to/seen the Apple HQ? I bet you get asked that a lot, but I’m just a Texas, where the most interesting thing that’s happened to me recently has been when one of those pool cleaner robots attacked me.

Well at our local yoyo club a couple months back, me and my 2 buddies were throwing and this guy watched us for like a half hour and then gave us $20! It was awesome!

I yoyoed for fun at the MN state fair, and people started sneaking money (since I didn’t have a performers license) and I made like 20 bucks

I was at California’s Great America today throwing… pretty much eight hours straight. Gold/Blue DM2 and purple gem PSG. The people I was with said that I had probable entertained more people than the park did. 😑

Just basic stuff. Elis, buddha’s revenge, boingy, grinds, stuff like that, but people were really getting into it. Asking how they’re done, where they can start, what the throws were and what made them different. Was fun!
