Title: Checklist! Are you ready?
Post by: Rette on May 25, 2006, 11:08:31 PM
As the most disorganized person alive... I thought I'd prepare a checklist for anyone else who's forgetful as I am! Please (please please) add on if I forgot anything!

- Photo I.D.
- Pre-reg printout
- Hotel info
- Cash! And whatever ATM & credit cards you need...
- Cameras (normal, digital & video) w/plenty of batteries, memory, tapes, film, cords, chargers...
- cellphone & charger
- watch
- entertainment electronics (laptop, X-Drive, iPod, headphones - all with appropriate cords and chargers)
- COSPLAY:
~ Accessories (weapons, contacts....)
~ Wig, hair stuff
~ makeup
~ The actual clothes part
~ shoes & socks, if required
- Clothes: enough so you can wear CLEAN clothes when you aren't wearing your cosplay! And shoes... wouldn't want to have to wear your cosplay shoes everywhere, especially if they're heels, thigh-high boots or ninja sandals...
- Personal hygiene stuff! Don't smell! (toothbrush, toothpaste, hair stuff, deoderant... whatever)
- School junk (if you're finals start on Tuesday like mine  :cry: )

- Surge Supressor (your roommates will love you when the availability of sockets start running thin)
- Drinks! Soda, Water, whatnot
- Snack Foods

- pajamas or other stuff to sleep in (my #1 forgotten item) if you're planning to sleep, that is... xD
- alarm clock (usually the hotels have them but it would suck to miss something because you slept through it...)
- keys! it's important to be able to get back inside your house once you get home... and to drive your car....

SAME HERE! And I'm really low on "things" for that "time," I should go grocery shopping! I need m&m's anyway, best snack for snacking! Maybe I'll make some TRAIL MIX for fanime!

- gaff tape
~~ Remember, gaffer tape is like the Force. There's a dark side and a light side and it holds the universe together. ~~

And just remember, don't use the tape on any surface that doesn't belong to you--especially don't use it on convention center walls, tables, chairs, floors, hotel walls, etc.  Fanime staff keep getting yelled at about tape being used on  walls to hold up signs, etc.

Tape on non-people surfaces bad.   Makes staff get yelled at.    ^_^;

Tape on people surfaces good.  Tape on cute cosplaying people surfaces even better.  :)

OK.  It's almost 4am.  Clearly I need to go to sleep now.  ^_^;;
