Well, I already posted (at CBGXtra) the link to National Public Radio's Free Comic Book Day plug, snark and all. But now it's time to be sure I've assembled what I'll need for the annual jaunt to Madison, Wisconsin. This is complicated by its being the first year that I've gone down the day before in order to report on a museum exhibit devoted to underground comix; guest star is Denis Kitchen, with whom I haven't had a chance at a relaxed chat for months -- maybe years.

+ camera
+ camcorder
+ audio recorder
+ cell phone
+ gas for the car
+ cash for store purchases
+ Palm Pilot (and notebook) with addresses and phone numbers
+ want list

Oh, yes, and: tape for the camcorder and battery charging for every battery-operated item I'll be lugging along. Time to plug in!

What do you make it a point to haul along?
