* print maps to San Jose, conference, hotel, with nearby bookstores circled - OK
* figure out where WoolfCamp is going to be held; print maps - I have until Sunday to get directions
* pack laptop, camera, phone, + cords + peripherals for all - OK
* figure out what to wear that will let me keep phone and camera in pockets (now I wish I'd bought cargo pants) - will keep everything in the purple rolling backpack I swiped off my kid
* consider buying cargo pants No, no, no.
* pack entire wardrobe; decide what to wear on site pack snarky t-shirts and comfortable skirts w/ pockets - OK
* car: oil, tires, gas and carwash (my dark green car is so crusted over with pollution, in some lights it looks light brown. I am not kidding.) - Done
* Road food! - will purchase at a convenience store for too much money, in the great American tradition
* nice big photo of Bunnylou for showing off - whups - where did I put those school photos?
* cards - I printed 100, with that 60's banner on top. Will that be enough? Way too many? I'll tell people they are Limited Edition; that'll make 'em move. - packed and ready for distributing!

While you're at it, make sure you PLUG our cutting-edge parody site as much as you can. Don't forget to mention the fabulous Clerks and BBM parodies and all the really clever songs we've written!
Lie a little: tell 'em there's dozens of puppy pics on it as well!

Wow. And I haven't even gotten so far as to look up the name of the hotel.

I did put the parodies URL on the business card. Soon, up to 100 unsuspecting bloggers will soon visit it.
Weird that "Gina" wrote just now. She's a NorCal resident who writes a pet column that's carried by the Bee. I've read her for years. We're sort of FOAF bloggers nowadays. I feel like she's a person I am _supposed_ to meet.

You can see the Dogmobile I'm test-driving this week. It stretches from Sacramento to Santa Clara County:

Interesting idea:
Cargo-Cult Pants!
Dropped onto unsuspecting pre-technological societies (such as the mythical Tasaday or believers in ID) these "Pants From Heaven" are worshipped as Fashions Of The Gods for generations until a local Gap opens up and the stunned villagers discover that they have been unhip for decades!
What this has to do with Pam's upcoming convention eludes one and all. And would we have it any other way?
