You forgot the giant bags of gummy worms and gummy bears. Oh and enough supplies to make hotel-iron grilled cheese sandwiches at 3 AM.

Multiple laptops, movie binders, and game consoles are a must when traveling.

Re: You know you over prepare for Atlanta when...

Throw in a playstation and that's how i like to get ready.

Also we have a tradition of putting candy in the crate when we ship so that when we arrive at competition and have completely forgotten about the candy we have a pleasant surprise.

Re: You know you over prepare for Atlanta when...

Since our team drove down from NJ to Palmetto, and NJ to Atlanta, everyone brings their DS's and we have epic Mario Kart races. We usually have 2 games running at the same time.

Someone should make a FIRST video game!!
