Does anyone prepare packing lists before they come to these events?

I'm hopeless, a real fail when it comes to packing as I usually leave it till the last minute to do stuff (this week exception as I'm at college 2 nights out of the week).

Help??

Apart from clothes, reg letter, id, travel ticket, what else do I need??

Yep I always write out a list - mainly so I know what to wash and iron and yes, I still end up having forgotten something (usually quite vital).:dance:

You forgot comfy shoes but most importantly you forgot your alcohol and snack stash Angie!!  :o

There's a good suggested packing list on one of the old Eternal Twilight boards.  I've once again amended it for myself, what with taking several costumes and a dress XD Most of the clothes at least are now lying on the bed in the spare room. But having said that, I still need to organise costume checklists XD And polish all my brass.

packing list

I tend to have two packing lists.
1st is just a general list, e.g. Clothes, toiletries, Camera etc...
2nd is SFX Makeup, Prosthetics & Costumes.
