I was there to witness Hunter first-hand at the PNWR. If he does something even only half as good as what he did there he would still be in contention for first imo

I’ll be there and would seriously love to meet everyone from here possible! Last year there were a BUNCH of people I talked to afterwards online where I was like “WAIT you were there?” lol… so trying to avoid that this year. Def come and find me if you know what I look like (I’ll prolly post a pic of myself in the thread day of or something), would be awesome hanging with you guys.

_Really_ wanted to be there, especially since I could just drive the distance. Stuff just keeps coming up this summer whether it be work or family etc. I was even gonna make a custom shirt that said “I am LeftyThrower24 from the YYE forum” :joy:

I’m going! 🤪 I’m so excited.  
@AndreBoulay i saw you were looking for volunteers. I’m not sure exactly when I will be available but I’m willing to volunteer for check in or anything really.

I can’t wait to meet whoever is going. I’m going to bring some quirky odd yo-yos for people to try and play as well as some trades. Anything else I should bring?

Wish I could be there, but alas I likely will be at home celebrating full force that fictitious Forth of July Weekend holiday that I learned about on the YYE forum but was unable to confirm in reality.

The heat disappears as soon as you’re inside. The benefits of dry convection-oven-like heat. Water is essential though. Aim for at least a half gallon a day. The air will dry you out.
