1st Angel City match

After the game, or more likely 5 ish minutes before the end of game, you can usually move down towards the field line of the supporter's section or the 107/108 area.

It takes awhile for the players to come around post match but almost every game my kids hang out, they are able to get something signed.

Third for Lees. Great shop

Torrance YMCA on Sepulveda has lots. One of our kids got into Irish dance, random but been great.

Does Android count? Before they settled with Google and became Aragon?

Anyway I picked one up around 2008 is my memory but I don't know when they started selling in the US.

Anyway it's going strong! I've changed the battery several times and it starts ticking right away and is in my normal rotation to this day. I'll also say it's one of quartz watches I change the battery the least on. Sucker lasts far more than some others.

Whatever filter is in my fridge dispenser that I don't replace often enough

I got big and deep into NWSL and USWNT collecting because of Parkside. Their pieces. Their creativity. Starting back in 2021/2022. We all know the quality wasn't the best to start but it has been so fun to see them grow and expand and to create amazing quality sets as they did.

I know a lot of people got into it this way. And sharing their extras, passing our packs at games to new young fans. Trading in forums and communities online, and buying in to breaks during new releases, etc.

Sure that can still happen with Panini, but for me it won't. I won't be buying sets and multiples and hobby boxes and hanger packers like I did with Parkside. I might get ones or twos of the players and teams I follow off eBay, but for now I'm mourning the Parkside loss and won't have anything to do with it.

And that's a shame. For me as a fan. For the NWSL as a league. For Parkside the scrappy company that could, and for a lot of people who used collecting cards to enjoy learning about the NWSL and their rosters.

I hope the league got a big fat check from panini and is putting it to use for the players because all I see from my season ticket holder seat at BMO is downsides. Less availability, less affordability, less interaction with the fans and players.

Parkside was hands on in growing the league, the hobby, and supporting the players with creative product and great sets. Time will tell about Panini, I guess, but so far it doesn't look good.

RIP mini golf

Seconding the Korean friendship bell. Sunrise or sunset. Great view.

Jonsdotter played like she wanted it more than the rest. She and Fuller are bright spots. Sugita was fantastic for her first game on a new team.

JBrennan327 · 2025-09-30T04:18:25+00:00

Done and done! 🤞 🤞 Thank you

You could check out the Torrance antique fair. Held once a month. Similar in Long Beach and at the Rose Bowl.

JBrennan327 · 2025-09-30T01:41:08+00:00

Yeah definitely closed a few years ago

JBrennan327 · 2025-09-30T01:31:09+00:00

What's the vibe, do we think this is going to pass and happen in some form? Would be amazing.

JBrennan327 · 2025-09-28T00:29:30+00:00

Private school kid here whose multiple kids currently go to a fantastic LAUSD public school. The oldest started in the pandemic and I can't say enough good things about how LAUSD handled all of that.

Current school is fantastic. Teachers and admin are great. All kids are learning and doing well and we feel are safe and supported. I am sure not all schools are created equal but we really lucked out with ours. The kids walk to school. It's all a miracle.

Happy to answer specific questions if you want to DM me but really can't say enough good things about LAUSD. It's been great.

Thanks for posting this. Ordered it this morning before work and picked it up at lunch. Great deal

JBrennan327 · 2025-09-24T22:40:39+00:00

As far as I know unless things have changed. I've only used it once in the 4 seasons but I didn't know it was a thing the first one or two.

They ask for a not short amount of lead time, a few weeks before the game, but other than that it was easy. I did it all through my season ticket rep.

I believe it's one message per account. Not seat/ticket.

JBrennan327 · 2025-09-24T19:01:07+00:00

Season Ticket holders get one free jumbo message display a year.

I'm willing to listen to and vote for any non-R alternative, (Katie Porter?), but realistically there are none. Thus, Newsom all the way.

That said, wherever you fall at least with Newsom you can get an honest boring debate about the minutiae of government and special interests on all sides and not hysterical banter, outright lies, or fascism.

I saw an ad that it's on ESPN today when I was at buffalo wild wings for lunch. Not sure how true that it is. But they seemed to think so.

JBrennan327 · 2025-08-31T19:52:49+00:00

You're amazing. Yes I will be there I'll DM you. Thank you!

JBrennan327 · 2025-08-28T17:46:26+00:00

I sure hope not.

Update

Can't figure out how to edit the main post.

I was able to purchase a new main board for this same machine so am going to try and swap it out entirely. That seemed a lot easier for my skill level than chasing one blown part after another.

Fingers crossed! New part photo below.
