When Worlds was in Orlando every year he’d throw a huge bbq at his crazy lake house. We’d check out his collection, he’d have a 15s of fame contest, all the super old school guys would be around and you could chill and chat w them… one of those things I didn’t think I’d miss about Worlds in Orlando but actually kind of do. ---

He’s a funny guy, I didn’t realize he was also a champion swimmer and wrote a sci-fi novel! [http://www.doclucky.com/](http://www.doclucky.com/) ---

He has a lake-swim he does like every week and always held it during Worlds. It’s like a 2 mile swim or something and you sign his wall if you make it. Always wanted to do it but never… wanted to drown and be eaten by a gator. His kid’s an all-American water-polo player too. ---

Lucky’s house is kind of amazing (or it was last time I was there, which was at least 10 years back). ![2004worlds026](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/3/9/439caed02ff0e4209a9e31b484eb0d8bce80a5b0.jpeg) ![2004worlds025](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/f/a/ffa2400eb76756609a2828bec586f21490909f81.jpeg) ---
