Unfortunately, acal, it isn't a wagon. It's that ZX2 "sporty" model from the 90's (license plate: ZX-Wing). Anyway, not much space. I tried it tonight and I can get the totes and one cooler in... but not three adults plus luggage, too. I'm going to let hubby give it a go though... he's a much better at packing the car than I am...  |

 - Wash and hang-dry the jedi tunics (yes, they've been sitting in the hamper since CIV -- sue me) *edit* now people can do the black or blue checkmarks. ;DLOL... My Sith bodysuit has been sitting at the bottom of my hamper since D*C last year! Cute black checkmarks! |

Oh, sorry, Lala! Somehow, lots of guys have that packing gene. Good luck!
My list:
launder two tunics
iron three tunics and a pile of undertunics
fix some beadwork on one tunic
spot clean two cloaks (not for outside in Atlanta in August, but for Masquerade)
stretch one pair of boots
decide on costume pants (I'm thinking NOT the heavyweight, Minnesota ones!)
add a magnetic catch to my recently rebuilt medkit
burn a CD for Masquerade
re-type my ever-changing schedule
find someone to pick up deliveries for the shop while I'm gone
1 more choreography session for Masquerade
pack suitcase and costume bag
get the cats to Grandma's Kitty Spa (Mom and Dad spoil them rotten)
(not DC related, but has to get to the printers b/4 I leave) design a brochure for string instrument rentals
There's probably more that I have forgotten!

I'm going to say NO COMMENT   because I don't even know where to begin. I just hope I have my suitcase packed before Wednesday morning & that I don't forget anything that I need to bring. |

I'm bringing a big suitcase plus a garment bag and my wheeled tote with "KATARN" and "VONNOR" stenciled on the top. Oh and my computer too. Not as limited on number of bags since we'll be driving. Not sure if I'll get to those cowboy-coat pix though, I might just bring the coat and try to get some pix at D*Con. Plus it might come in handy if it rains for the parade. ;D ~ Koda |

You're gonna shoot me, but I'm done. All I have to do is pack.
If I had the fabric, I'd make a light weight robe out of raw silk. Someone mentioned bringing one and that's a good idea. Next year....
I decided not even to bring the lap top this year as I hardly used it last year, except as a photo storage device. So now I have a mall Wolverine drive for photos.

Gosh... I could leave tomorrow if I had to. Few minor things left for me to do: - Sew a Staff Sergeant rank badge on a new vest for my Colonial Marines uniform - Pick up my Colonial Marines camouflage pants from the tailors on Tuesday - Paint my Batarang red - Dye my roots  LOL! All that's left after that is packing! ;D |

Woo Hoo! We don't need to rent a car after all. Hubby managed to figure out how to pack everything in my Escort. It won't be the most comfortable trip for whomever gets stuck in the back seat (probably me, I'm the shortest), but it's better than the extra cost of renting a big vehicle.
