We Are Official Guinness World Record Holders!Madrid, Spain February 23, 2008
We flew to Madrid to film for the European Guinness World Records TV show. On air, John set the record: "The fastest time to knock a coin off the ear
of 15 participants with a yo-yo is 1min 50sec." In addition to setting the record, hanging out with the other world record holders was a blast: we hung out with the world's tallest man, the world's smallest man, and the woman with the world's longest fingernails, among others.
An amazing experience!
Also, check out the short video John made from our time there:
Microsoft TechReady 6 "Launch" - Seattle, WA February 14 , 2008
Microsoft's Tech Ready 6 Party! Wow! The theme of this event was "Launch" and hosted more than 6,000 of Microsoft's brightest technicians from all over the world.
There were four different "spaced out" environments & entertainment zones; we were in one called "Systems." The audience was amazing! Our main stage show included elements of our glow show with lots of light-up action. After every performance we offered a hands-on
yo-yo workshop which was a huge hit with everyone that participated. This is one of the best private parties we've ever been a part of.

Happy New Year! December 31, 2007
We're finally starting a blog! We have some interesting stories & events from our business as traveling yo-yoers, so we thought we'd keep
a diary of sorts. Why not begin at the start of the year? Or rather the end of last year...
We performed at First Night Boston on New Year's Eve, which entailed four shows at the Hynes Convention Center in the heart of the celebration. When we arrived, we saw a few people
milling around, and thought we'd maybe get 50 people or so at each of our shows. Little did we know that First Night Boston has over a million attendees, and we ended up playing
to full houses with security turning people away. We were on the local news, which you can see on the YouTube clip below.
(This was only our second time performing with a sign language interpreter, which we find very interesting. Unfortunately our interest was distracting because we were so fascinated with what our tricks translated to that we kept turning around to watch him.)
