Title: What are you bringing to the con?
Post by: havok rt on March 15, 2008, 12:41:01 AM
So whats your gear, and supplies for the three days going to be?
For me:
1x Cell phone aka how I'll keep track of time.
1x Camera (Just bought a new 7Megapixel camera from Fuji :) )
1x Laptop
2x NOS (energy drink)
??xPocky (about $20 worth should be enough, right? or should I buy more and sell it? plus I'll probably give some away)
8x AA batteries and charger
1x Notebook & pen
deodorant (cuz I don't want to be all smelly during the afternoon)
1x  can of Axe (for the smelly people around me)
1x Messenger bag (to hold it all in)
1x Wallet (full at the begininng, empty at the end  :-\)
I don't think I'm missing anything.

ooo I bring a bunch of crap I usually don't need.
- Hello Kitty messenger bag to hold all the crap
- wallet or some other type of money holder
- snacks
- PSP and/or DS (if I gotta wait in line...)
- lip balm
- camera with extra batteries
- cell phone
- small notebook and pencils/pens
- a book or magazine (again, if I gotta wait in line...)

It feels like I'm missing something. I'm usually holding more than this. Bah, I'll figure it out later.

Armed with my press badge, I shall be toting the following on any given day:

-Camera
-My ghost in the shell messenger bag
-cell phone
-Wallet, filled on Friday with ~1000 dollars in spending money (not in cash! DON'T ROB ME!)


That's probably about it. I may bring my tape recorder to record panels (if it's allowed) or to record interviews I may have during that time.

W00T FANIME COMETH!

If nothing else, having all those people in line would mean never having to wait for more players for a wireless game. Tons of potential players!

-FlashLight - To wake all those people who fall asleep on the convention floor at night. It's again the rules/law or something =p. Health code violation or something like that. Plus some people get creative where they hide to sleep and I gotta find them!
-Cell phone - To keep track of the days/nights
-Clothes - Duh
-Camera - Mabye, some weird crap goes on =P
-Money - To buy stuff when I'm not working =)
-Two computers- For the SOS department

Overall, I think If I'm not working SOS, I'll be sleeping. So the stuff I bring is pretty basic.
