ICHQ Checklist

Just wondering what are the items I should be bringing for EPIC to make my stay most comfortable minus the obvious:

- Computer and accessories
- Fine Canadian Beer (NOT XXX)
- Blankets + pillow
- Toothbrush, deodorant, razor...etc..
- Condoms (errr, maybe I'll leave those at home.)

lordbean contacted me about driving together. What are the "extra" items we should be thinking of getting together for this most awesome event?

Take note, we're coming in a Toyota Celica GT....space is not in abundance.

Towel.
Grand idea!

That way you can smack Robert with it when all else fails.

I'm thinking he should come to a event occurring soon, just to get it out of his system...

*checks calendar*

Preperations 7 month in advance? That's hardcore!

Definitely a towel. Consider bringing a tent if you have one, but those details won't be worked out for a LONG time. Chances are, we'll have plenty of tent space.

I always bring a big water bottle (a nalgene) to fill and drink during the day and gaming sessions when beer isn't in the cards (which isn't often)

Great point.

I know it's early, but, you won't be hearing be bitching about not having something with me.

Depending on the event, you may want a sleeping bag and/or ground pad if you're driving. We do have some, but if we start crossing the 20+ person threshold things start getting scarce. For Expo, I'd call them a MUST.

It helps if you have some cash instead of just a card to speed restaurant bill settling, but that's up to you.

Laptop if you have/want one. Desktop is good for Expo and for smaller events.

Sharp elbows to keep the ladies off of you.

A multivitamin with a solid amount of B-vitamins in it to stave off hangovers. Painkillers, for the same reason.

what? no... the trick to not getting a hangover is to avoid being sober the entire weekend.

edit: don't follow my advice. it's a horrible idea.

edit of edit: except for the advice about not following my advice.

You go that route and I'll go the totally sober route... and laugh at the folks that follow your route.
