Hey Folks!

I meant to write this post last night, but I unfortunately fell asleep. Sleep? Pat? I know, I know. Read on to find out why:

We started our day at the famous Ferry Building, eating our way through the varied gourmet shops filled with delicious gastronomic delights:

By the time we were done, our bellies were full and we found ourselves in good company: Sonny (Anti-Yo’s other half), Boyd Seth (CLYW Sponsored), Paul Yath (Born Crucial founder, Buzzon/Throw_Yo sponsored, 3 Time US National 3A Champion, and reigning 3A World Champion), Spencer Berry (Duncan Crew), Paul Escolar (Trick Innovator Extrodinaire), Jeff Longoria (Inventor of Spirit Bomb), Sky Kiyabu (former original THP member, and 1998 National 1A Champion), and Seth Peterson (Formerly Duncan Crew) had joined our party.

We then met Mark Montgomery at Self Edge. Coincidentally, it was his 22nd birthday!

After getting some gelato at La Copa Loca, we ate some more, at La Taqueria (perhaps the BEST taqueria in the country, in my most humble non-expert opinion).

We followed up with some good times at Kiya’s place, and learned how to make Wendy’s hamburgers from MC Grill Skillz.

Fortunately, learning how to make hamburgers got us hungry, so we went to Big Lantern for Chinese food!

By the time this meal was over, I could barely move (Amy mentioned something about my pale and overall unpleasant look).

And so we ended the night by going to our hotel rooms (we opted to take the stairs) and passing out.

In summary: We ate, met with some of the best yo-yo players in the country, and ate some more.

Not too shabby for a “Yo-Yo Contest Trip!”

Stay tuned for more updates on The Expedition!
