Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. I *FINALLY* received the phone call. It's going to be held in LA. Tickets have been bought. $45 RT SF to LA after I submit that mystery greyhound rider survey. I have no clue how many yoyoers are going to be there but I do have that private audition time lined up so we'll see. On top of that, I won't know how I did (if I get through to the next round) until probably MARCH if they contact me again. Good thing I'll have my Grandma and Dad there for support after I'm finished! Amazing timing.
Other than that, I have to add some crazy crowd-pleasing tricks to my performance. I am allowed 1.5 minutes MAX! I'm traveling all that way to show 1.5 minutes?!?! Talk about a risky investment. As I learned in school (Finance class) and through yoyo competition;
The greater the risk, the greater the reward
So I'm pulling out the stops on this audition in 2 days. We'll wait and see what happens. Until then, hopefully the road to fame has begun...
