Andy News to MRM?
I’m Andy but I don’t have any news.
We’re getting there, there were some issues with personal life hitting everyone all at once, because it’s fun like that, but it’s coming back together. Thank you all for your patience.
Speaking of Andy news, I saw your picture on the throw-yo team page and I must say, your hair is in-freakin-credible!
Thanks! When Rob asked for a bio and pic I realized I had no good recent pics but I did have a hair dye appointment, so I brought a 3d printed yo-yo and offered it as a trade if my stylist snapped some photos for me after we were done lol.
Parts are in route from ano. Assembly and testing likely next week.
Invoices shortly after.
Maybe mrm delay fits nicely with this.
I, for one, applaud such creativity; the most interesting thing about me is my crooked features, LOL!
Maybe I should smile more?
The reason my picture turned out good is because my hair stylist took her mission very seriously. She spent some extra time styling my hair after dying it and then she took 56 pictures lol. My eyes were closed in more than half of them, there were only maybe 4 useable pictures.
She was working it for that yoyo!
That’s awesome!
Using my awful phone camera, I was able to capture an egregious photograph of the lunar eclipse:
Did any of you happen to get a better picture?

Marked in my calendar! It felt like so long since the last one!
Unfortunately I was unable to organize February. But trying to get back on track. We had a lot going on with FAF too.
No worries. Completely understandable. Just excited to have a meeting for March
For those wondering, the Throw-Yo tumbler is fantastic quality.
Metal outside, insulated metal interior, keeping things cold/hot for a good while. Decal feels maybe heat stuck on there? Either way, it’s solidly attached, I even picked at the corners a bit with my finger and couldn’t get it to start coming up, so it should last, and it feels thick and durable. Would still recommend hand-washing though. Comes with a reusable straw, and lid is secure and leak tight (minus the hole on top for the straw), so it should be able to take a bit of jostling around or as a shaker if you cover your finger over the hole. Holds about 16 oz comfortably as well (2 cups), so you can easily fit a standard beverage in there with room for ice if needed.
Pairs perfectly with another great coozie (getting that space design one way or another )
@rkalajian, you asked at one point other merch ideas…we have a glass, whiskey glass, tumbler, and coozies…so, natural progression…a flask may be in order one day, haha!
I can’t do a flask from my current supplier, but I have been scouting suppliers for other items I can’t do now.
I wish I could take credit for the quality. I can only take credit for picking a good supplier!
I’m saving up to get a laser engraver. If I could find some good blank flasks, that would be another option…
Picking a good supplier is sometimes a battle alone, haha, you’ve done good on all fronts so far.
Everything has been novel, but also high quality. So totally usable and even preferable, which I appreciate!
check out Toadfish they’re amazing. keeps ma coffee warm for like 3 hours
Coffee in a flask?
Now I’ve seen it all
