Creating a thread here since a lot of the throwers around the greater Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area wanted to start a thread for us local boys & girls to keep up!

We talked about this in a previous thread, while on lunch today, I made my way over to S.W. Randall Toyes & Giftes today to see what they carried.
Sad to report that there was not much there, but the did carry some Duncan Imperials and Butterflies.
So if you forget your yo and are in the office, you can always stop by at lunch time and pick up a desk dweller to leave in a drawer.
I’ll keep checking for other stores.

I was thinking of maybe stopping down at Edie’s Entertainment (on Penn Ave.) as well, just to see if they carry anything.

I hope to meet all of yall in person when the next PA contest comes around. (I probably walked by most of yall without realizing) It was one of my favorite venues this year for a contest at vellum brewery.
We need name badges at YoYo’s events lol.

Im curious, so what style do yinz all play? I’m trying to learn 2A (very slowly) and am more of a fixed axle/responsive/old guy 👴 style thrower.
Curious what everyone’s forte is and what their collections/EDC’s are.

I’m a 3A player and I’m trying to get started on soloham, basic looping, and modern 1A. I’m struggling the most with 1A. I am very very eager to learn!
I live in Squirrel Hill and I’m glad to meet with yoyo players. I’ll let you try all of my yoyos and I’ll answer all of your questions regarding 3A 🙂

I’m actually available today. I planned to sleep early, but if anyone wants to come by I’ll stay awake (DM me for address) for a longer while.
Is anyone going to us national?

@FugasYoyo I play mainly 1A, but I putz around with fixed axle/0A, and I know just enough 5A to hurt myself… are you out in the Settlers Ridge area?
@ice1000 unfortunately I’m not going to Nats, but I look foward to learning some 3A from you :+1:
