packing list for rainbow

[sciencequeen]

Okay so I'm going a little insane packing for Rainbow. The excitement is building now and it's finally hit me like KAPOW. I have no idea how I'm supposed to work the day before I leave, which is today technically....gguuhh...aaahhhhh!!

In no order of any kind:

• headphones & CDs (in case someone doesn't show up to their set and if I happen to be in any capacity to DJ
  
• 6 copies of my full-on psy demo
  
• 4 copies of my progressive psy demo
  
• My costume for the German Sparkle Party on Sunday afternoon. The Facebook event my friend Jane made is at MORE THAN 600 PEOPLE! THAT MEANS 600 PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE DRESSED THEIR TRASHIEST AND SPARKLIEST IN THE WHOLE LAND AND STORM THE MARKET STAGE KAKOW KAKOWWWWWW!!!11oneone
  
• My costume for the "Rainbow at Rainbow" event in the late Sunday morning. We're all going to stand together and be a big rainbow or something.
  
• My headlamp
  
• My little handheld flashlight
  
• Tampons
  
• Insulin
  
• syringe (for insulin vials!)
  
• The loaner pump is now attached to me
  
• supplies for the pump
  
• extra pump batteries
  
• BG meter and test strips
  
• Alcohol swabs
  
• Condoms & lube
  
• Stuff to swim in a pool in
  
• A towel
  
• Sparkly make-up
  
• Glitter body paint
  
• Sunblock
  
• Bushman's bug spray
  
• long underwear
  
• a big coat
  
• underwear
  
• socks
  
• two sets of booty shorts + tops + fishnet combos
  
• rubber boots
  
• vibram five fingers
  
• knee-high "come-fuck-me" boots
  
• black runners which I don't mind ruining
  
• some Thai wrap pants
  
• a stretchy halter top + stretchy capris (like exercise wear)
  
• the hoodie which I happen to be wearing at the time
  
• the outfit which I happen to also be wearing at the time
  
• crackers
  
• rice cakes
  
• cookies
  
• cashews
  --I've been warned not to bring "meal" food as there are vendors on site which are much tastier and better than anything I could make and costs about $10/meal--
  
• 8 cans of sugar free energy drinks
  
• MY TICKET!!!
  
• juice boxes

• electrical tape (tee hee hee!)
  
• my hippy raver party belt
  
• my bad ass sleeping bag that is rated to -8C booyah!
  
• a little tent (as the person which I'm sharing with is leaving the night before I am)
  ----edited to add:
  
• mouthguard that I wear to sleep
  
• anti-perspirant (so I don't stink too much like a raver hippy feral child)
  

It's very very similar to a Burning Man list, except for BM, I would have to bring food and supplies to not die in a desert for a couple of weeks. Much more industrial stuff and rebar and shade structures and stuff!

Okay now that I've spent all this time writing it all out, I think I have calmed down enough to sleep...
Except now I have to find a place to put all this shit!! Oopsie.

Oh crap I just realized I should bring soap and some toilet paper too.
