I am going to worlds this year. I picked up yoyoing as a hobby for me in December 2011 and it really has kicked of. I am going to worlds on the last two days. It will be my birthday on the third. I am super excited. I will alone with no parents. I will turn 14 on the 3rd. Who will I hand out with and what will I do, besides the obvious. I am also saving money for worlds to buy stuff from companies booths. Does anyone know which companies will be there and any help would be appreciated for a person who has never gone to a contest before.

This is a nice coincidence! Like you, I started throwing in December, (therefore it’s my first time at Worlds too), and like you I’ll be going for the second and third days. 🙂
As far as who you’re going to hang out with, try to find various people on the forums to look out for. You can start with me if you want. 🙂
As far as what you do goes, there seems to be a lot on. I’ll try to have a look at everything that’s on while I’m there - mod contests, stalls, workshops, various spintop/diabolo events… There’s a lot to fill the gaps where there’s nobody performing. I’m also taking part in the string trick ladder - you may want to think of that if you haven’t filled in your registration yet. (You could always email them asking to sign up for it on top).
