      YIKES ! ! !
      i wish "awesome" wasn't such an overworked word . . .
      i'd be 10 years perfecting even one of those tricks, AND THEN i'd try it with the yoyo spinning.

      Sax-man,
      have you had any further contact with the young man you saw outside the Comics store?
      . . . and the ultimate tribute might be to do a documentary on that cultural niche; i, for sure, would want to see and support such a project.
