If you carry a poster tube, use it for more
Here's a small tip that’s rarely utilized at SDCC. If you choose to carry a poster tube, you have some valuable real estate that you could use for a quick reference map of the floors, your schedule of panels/signings/off-sites, shopping lists, “if found, call…”, and public transit schedules.
You don't need your phone out as much.
I built a Sharpie caddy for autographs (Black, Silver, Gold, Red, etc) and cored out the cap and added a USB power bank. And it still holds posters and small items like pins.
I've used the same tube for the last 10 years, and laminate all my stuff into one 11x17 sleeve that lasts the Con and then cut it off for the next year.

Attention CALIFORNIA locations: You can raise your notary price on Jan 1, 2027
The Governor signed AB-1597 yesterday, so the state limit per notary act will go up from $15 to $20.
New York, New Jersey, & Georgia: Sorry, I can't help you.

Yellow Brick Road arcade at UTC in San Diego (early 80s to mid-90s)
I apologize if this is the wrong sub to ask, but does anyone have any pictures of this arcade, specifically of the entrance or a view of it from the food court or ice rink?
I’ve only ever been able to find a video of the inside and a few very-obscured external photos that don’t show the name or even a clear view that it’s an arcade.

Fisker Karma
License plate obscured for owner’s privacy. Only about 2500 were built. This is the third one I’ve seen in my area over the years.

Three cheers for the button battery
My GB camera hasn’t been turned on since some time before 2005 (probably 1999) but the little battery inside still has all the pictures taken since 1998.
It had pictures of my dog, a friend that died, my parents, and my girlfriend (now my wife). I was able to save the pictures.

I was going through my parents house to look for some “lost” Game Boy things and found that I still had my VB issue of Nintendo Power WITH the special glasses that came with it in the envelope and a still-sealed official third-party AC adapter for VB.
I also found the Game Boy things and some Game & Watch games.
