Packing for teched

With teched a week out, I'm starting to think about what to bring. There are of course the obvious things...

  • Some clothes. Prolly not too much as we are all geeks, and no one will notice if I wear the same shirt. :)
  • Other livelyhood items. Toothbrush, floss, shampoo, etc.. I'll prolly shower at least once, but since I'm c# at heart I gotta have greasy hair at least one day. :) (ok ok, that's a lie,, I'll shower every day, I promise)
  • Nintendo ds.. After long hours of nerding, I'll need to unwind with some advance wars 2.
  • My ancient camera.. Oh the geeks will laugh, but I'll want pictures.
  • Laptop.. The universal toolbox.
  • Rails/Channel 9 videos.. Mainly for the flight.
  • My notebook and pen.. I don't expect to have enough battery power to actually take notes on the laptop.
  • My h320 mp3 player.. gotta have music, plus I might record a bit of teched.. I've thought about snagging a microphone too, but probably won't. Oh, and I'll have a bunch of old podcasts to catch up on.
  • Phone

Things I won't be bringing

  • Any books/magainzes/paper other then notebook.. just too heavy..
  • Pocketpc.. Honestly, I never use the thing anyway.
  • 2 bags.. I hate checking things at all, but I know I'll need to check at least 1 bag

What am I missing? I'm hoping to travel quite light, but I'm sure there is something I am forgetting.
