Alright, so talking with a friend of mine, it became painfully obvious that she and I had different packing methods for Atlanta.
So, what are you packing for Atlanta? Here’s my list:
Three T-shirts (all FIRST, naturally–exact ones TBD)
Pants to match
Three pairs of underwear
Three pairs of socks
Shoes (which I’d be wearing)
Toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, deodorant
Shaver
Laptop
iPod
(Note that I’m driving in Wednesday and driving back Saturday–hence I’m only packing to have fresh clothes Thursday-Saturday)
Pants
Jeans
Shirts
Socks
Boxers
Beaters
Gel
Blue Hairspray
Cologne
Toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, towel, shaving crap
Laptop
Ipod
… I am forgeting few others.
Shirts, jeans, shoes, underwear, socks, toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, Act rinse, shampoo and conditioner (can’t stand hotel stuff), soap, moisturizing lotion, sunblock, meds (motrin, sudafed, etc.), pillow for bus, snacks for bus, a book or two, camera, batteries and charger, cell phone and charger, Dave says ‘That’s Pimp too!’ buttons, games: Give Me the Brain, Lord of the Fries and Killer Bunnies, license, credit card, cash, brush, scrunchy, deodorant, and this weird little thing that’s a cross between a hair dryer and a curling brush so that my bangs don’t stick up in the air.
I think that covers it. It sounds like a lot, but it it isn’t really, it all fits into a small suitcase and a backpack (well, with the addition of Killer Bunnies and the snacks for the bus, I may have to have two backpacks).
1)undergarments
2)3 RAGE shirts
3)shorts/capris/pants
4)other team’s shirts…
5)a non FIRST shirt or 2
6)cell phone + charger
7)CD players
8)toiletries(brush, toothbrush, deoderant, etc)
9)PJs
10)Hair Dye (in case it washes out too fast) & accessories
11) contacts & supplies
12)socks
13) flips slops
14)extra hair ties
15)possibly a digial camera
16) Papichulo (my stuffed bear:D)
17) purse & contents thereof
18)pen & paper (you will ALWAYS need this)
19)i’ve run out of things to write, but i assue you they’ll be more in my suitcase :yikes:
Clothes: Team shirts, extra shirt for Sunday, Boxers, socks, jeans
Hygene: Toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, shaver (if there is room, not all that critical)
Other: Cards, food, gameboy (if room, not very critical), homework (AP tests start one week after championships :ahh: )
Oh yeah, I have to fit everything in a carry-on so I don’t miss the webhug. Our team gets in ATL at 10:45 AM and George (DCA_Fan) and I are going to go straight to MARTA and hope we make it. Hopefully there will be no delays. Can you believe they are routing us through Minneapolis to get from California to Georgia?
See everybody there (if I ever survive our ultra-red-eye).

hehe…I thought you meant what *equipment * are we packing.
Anyways, I’m bringing a set of clothes for each day, but there’s a problem. I only have one team shirt and I usually wear another shirt underneath it so it doesnt get sweaty and gross. I’m worried it’ll be too hot in the dome or I’ll spill ketchup on it or something.
Other than that i’m bringing the usual toiletries, my video and still cameras, tripod, sneakers, sweatshirt, maybe a hat, sunglasses, stuff to keep busy on the plane.
Good luck & see you there

…well this is nifty! i was planning on packing tonight anyways, so this is great to make sure i dont forget anything. (yes i always pack a few days ahead of time so i have enough time to remember anything i might have forgotten…) haha i’m such a girl… i’m packing a lot… but really, this is kind of “packing light” since all of this stuff doesnt really take up much room, and i’m only bringing the bare minimum of what i think i’ll need
my Nerdstock 2k5 shirt
my 2004 and 2005 team shirts
team board shorts
a random shirt and 2 pairs of jeans
pink pj pants & some sort of shirt to match
pink undies! (like you needed to know that)
pink socks
toothbrush, toothpaste, other toiletries, etc.
Pink hairspray
pink safety glasses
random pink swag accessories i’ll be wearing (basically whatever i found in my room right after i came back from Denver that i shoved in my pink bag so i wouldnt forget to bring it)

…i think thats it. i’m way behind in most of my classes… (i think i’ve gotten the FIRST equivalent to Senioritus…) and AP exams are sneaking up on me… so i’m not bringing my GameBoy at all… i know that it will be a huge distraction and temptation to procratinate. maybe i’ll be able to make some good use of the 8-hrs bus trip to Atlanta!
