If you're in this hobby and you're not ABT (Always Be Tubin')...you're gonna have a bad time.

Can someone quickly calculate how much it'd cost for a Midwesterner to go to SDCC just for two Mitchell portraits? Gotta make a quick spending justification

You're better off buying from an eBay flipper.

Or ask someone to PB for you and offer a $100-$150 tip.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Rolled posters tucked beneath armpits...

It only takes a few seconds for someone to take your stuff and walk-off with it. Hold your bags/tubes between your knees tucked under your arm or something while browsing booths/paying for merch etc. I believe it was last year that someone leaned tubes against a table (to his side) and after he paid he turned to grab his tube and it was GONE.

Heaven forbid there should be a fire. If so, make your way to a wall ASAP. You might not be able to see because of smoke - stay at the wall feel along until you get to an exit.

And take your appliance power chords with you if you are traveling from out of town.

Shut it, Paul. (I'm assuming that was meant for me.)

I couldn't help it. That may have been my favorite day on this thread. I will always thank you for that.
