All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...
Jul. 8th, 2005 09:41 amMy car is stuffed to the gills with Shore Leave stuff. The notebook I carry at the con is on the desk beside me (I rearranged it this morning.) All I have to do is pick up food for the green room and gas the car, and I'm good to go for the con.
Have already thought of something new to try next year. At the end of last year, I kind of threw things in a drawer, and this year didn't spend a lot of time or energy getting replacements. Oh, I checked, I have the important stuff, but the kit should grow slightly every year.
So this year, the week after the con I'm going to take everything - the office supplies, the repair kit supplies, a spare CD of the database, and my notebook, and I'm going to methodically replace everything needed and wanted. And then I'm going to donate my wheeled Pampered Chef trunk to the cause and store everything in it all at once. So next year, when I go to grab everything, I won't have to pull it from multiple sources and I won't have to worry if anything is missing. I'll be able to just go downstairs and grab the trunk and shove it in my car. Le duh. Should have done that last year. Been focusing so much on the dbase that I didn't look at other things that ought to be dealt with. (Now that it's too late for this year, I'm looking at people ebaying off their Mary Kay consultant stuff for future repair kit additions. I think having two kits - one for makeup, one for hardware repairs (tape, scissors, etc) is probably best.)
It looks like the masq. might be delayed, but that's an Act of Hollywood and not a screwup on the part of myself, my crew, or the con, so I'm mellow about it.
