I never knew anybody anywhere close to me yoyos until I met this guy at lunch at my high school. He has an aqua shutter and was doing some tricks. I was like :o I had my yoyo in my pocket so we exchanged tricks, and just like that now I know someone who yoyos other than myself! 😃 Has this ever happened to anybody else? ---

The best thing was he was a little bit better than me so we can (potentially) hlep each other out rather than one being superior ;D I finally know what a Shutter throws like now, by the way.

I went to the Delta Fair with some buds. As we were leaving, I saw a guy with a red protostar (new dark version). I was like OMG ANOTHER YOYOER PLEASE GUYS WE HAVE A MINUTE, RIGHT!!! He stopped doing Buddah’s Revenge and stared at me as if I were insane. My friends dragged me off like No, we gotto go now. And I was about to do some speed tricks, too…(yes, I like showing off) btw, if you know you’re that guy, PM me. African American, lives somewhere near Memphis with red protostar. All I know about you. ---

> [@Irwin Elkblood](#): > > What’s the yoyo scene over there like? Pretty small. Our National contest had about 40-50 or so in attendance, and the likelihood of bumping into someone else yoyoing is slim-to-none. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great little community and great fun when we get together, but I remember someone on here posting that they found a Protostar on a bus once in the US… that just wouldn’t happen here. That being said, we do have the advantage of being a small little country. I only had a 2 hour drive to get to Nats, whereas for a lot of the USA guys it would involve catching a plane or the mother of all road trips. It seems like Canada has the worst of both worlds. Lots of land, few yoyoers. You have my sympathies. :-\ [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/im-not-alone/69947.md?page=2)
