What I shall pack...

[serene]

...probably.

* the shirt I owe to a friend who left it in my apartment more than a year ago

* as many cute outfits as fit. What the hell, not flying, and there's room in the van

* road food -- chips, cut-up veggies, etc

* sex paraphernalia

* books to read and to write in

* hairbrush (I usually forget this)

* toothbrush, soap, shampoo, toothpaste

* vitamins, iron pills, birth control, James's medications

* tacky postcards (to receive one, please send snailmail address)

* stamps, writing paper (typo people), envelopes

* the work papers that I need to drop at UPS tomorrow

* the gifts for my mom -- lots and lots of Ikea herring and other Swedish fish products

* games for the game room at the con

* Dr. Tran & other bad movies for bad-movie night in our suite

What am I missing?

Thanks! I adore your new sweetie. She's been a lovely party guest, friend, and wombabe to me over the years. Have you seen the most excellent sushi pajamas yet?

It's been rainy all week. Might clear up by the weekend, but if not, you may want a jacket; it's cool-for-San Diego, though not cold by the rest of the world's standards.

Ooh, good plan. Thanks!

I'd love to have a postcard too!

Man, you are so far ahead of me. We are still discussing some of what to pack! See you in the morning.

Just one thing...

[catdeville.livejournal.com]

to leave some room in the van to take some things back ;-)

It looks like I may be going to alt.polycon as well, and hope to see you there. Are sog or sogwife coming with you?

And ask sog if he wants any of their books back. When they moved back to NoCal, they had to give a way a bunch of stuff. I took many of their books into my care for the time. (They "sold" them to me by the box full.) I think that some of them are probably books that they didn't truly wish to part with, and have considered them my caretaker more than my owner. If there are any that you have room for now that you'd (pl) like to have back, I'd be happy to bring them to the con so that you can have them (or perhaps you can stop by here on your way home and just take what you want after the con?)

I was about to give away the Gor series books that I have which I've now read and am done with, and I know that I have a good number of atheist and Christian apologetics books and mags that sog may want back. I also have a very large number of Lovecraft books that they had to give up which may be precious to them. Just let me know.

hugs!
Cat

someotherguy is coming, and he says he doesn't want the Gor or the Lovecraft, but if you could bring any of the atheist/apologetics stuff, he'd be grateful. Thanks! It'll be SO good to see you!

Cool! I have my library organized (mostly ;-) so I know exactly where those are.

I'll be sad that I won't get to see sogwife, but it will be nice to see someotherguy and you. I'm all atwitter with excitement ;-)

hugs!

another pair of shoes or sandals
pens and pencils
underwear, if you use it
socks, if you wear them
a sweater
jewelry, if you wear it
my address for a tacky postcard

I like to take my own pillow, because it's special.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Got a pair of sexy shoes borrowed from my wife; got pens; don't wear socks or underwear; someotherguy just packed us sweaters; got some jewelry, including the bracelet porcinea made for me; email me your address!

pillows!

[catdeville.livejournal.com]

I was about to suggest the same thing - I had trouble sleeping at Conjecture because I didn't take my big pillows for my knees. So I have to remember from now on that I really do have to pack all the pillows I need to sleep well enough.

hugs!
Cat

Re: pillows!

[clever-doberman.livejournal.com]

I bring my special down sleeping pillow everywhere, and certainly on a plane. it makes all the difference for feeling comfortable in an unfamiliar environment.

Re: pillows!

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

I'm very unpicky about pillows. How are you feeling, hon? Let me know what your visit schedule is like for the next couple of weeks. I'd like to come and hang out. Maybe I'll even make some of my mom's chicken soup. I know you don't have a cold, but still.
