[CJAS Otakon] Something to work out for packing

[Daniel Honig]

Hey there.  Otakon Friday!

I was talking to Joe about packing, and something that was tossed around 
was the question of who brings what.  Towels, toiletries, clothes, etc. 
are all on a person-by-person basis, but what about things that are big 
and we don't need for everyone?  I'm talking, of course, about sleeping 
bags.  This is mainly aimed at people in Room 3, since that's where I 
am, but it's something that I figure should be sorted out: in the rooms, 
only 2 people really need to bring sleeping bags, 3 at max.  If everyone 
brings sleeping bags, we're carrying more and losing at least 40 cubic 
feet of loot - space that could otherwise be used forcing everyone to 
bring back plamo models for the next event.  Or something.

Anyhow, food for thought.  I don't want to bring a sleeping bag if I 
don't have to, but really - the people who have the toughest trips 
should get it the easiest, or the people who are already carrying lots 
of stuff (complex cosplays, etc).  I'd gladly bring a sleeping bag if it 
means that someone with 3 bags doesn't have to take a 4th because who 
would want to carry around and keep track of 4 bags?

So, yeah.  Organization!  Makes life so much easier for everyone.

I know Joe was planning to bring one.  Who else in Room 3?

Thanks,
