Tomorrow is going to be awesome
Tomorrow I get to go to another of the famed Indianapolis Yo-yo Meets! I really don’t know why they call them “meets”, since for the most part we don’t have any contests or anything, but it doesn’t matter. The important part is that I get to hang out with a whole bunch of [...]
