What will you forget?

Post by jofezasa » Tue Aug 24, 2010 12:47 pm

Last year, for me, it was a toothbrush (my traveling companion had an extra) and my sanity/ability to self regulate work (Emergency Services Department) and play.

Last year I forgot tampons. Didnt think I needed them... Aunt flow had a different Idea. This year Im bringing tons of extra supplies in case I hear a girl yelling "TAMPON!" =)

And I forgot my wings I made. Left them ontop of the car near the panhandle in SF. Some homeless person has some killer dream catcher wings now ;)

This year... Im hoping to forget my fear, inhibitions, and my past. Be Present. Enjoy it =)

Ironically, as I sit here now in the Orlando airport waiting to depart to Reno.. I just realized that I forgot to shave my balls. Doh.

Ironically, I believe there is a "Shave Your Balls Camp". You don't get to pick who shaves them though. I think DPW does it. :wink:

Yeah no.. it's only a one week old shave anyway so I'm good. I'll take a slight prickle over playa razor burn on the nads any day!

What part of the airport? I believe they may have someone there ready to help you. Just go to the barber and ask.

Last year I forgot my pillow! I almost took one from the hotel room in Reno we stayed at the night before hitting the playa. Instead I succumbed and bought a $5 one at that horrible box store everyone loves so much.

I have no idea what I am going to forget this year. My basics are already packed (goggles, scarf, big-ass-shade-hat, extra blankie, sunscreen, yadda yadda), so whatever it is, I will have to borrow or live without. And that is fine. :D

CAreful, Dougly...
your disquiet at not going this year is showing as a bit of snarky temper.

So as I sit here in beautiful South Lake Tahoe, the list if forgotten items keeps growing. So far it has grown to include: my beanie, fuzzy new fleece pants I just bought, my chinese shade hat, gloves, wool socks and the huge bag of condoms in the closet. Thank god for family with the ski house up here or I'd be screwed.

Check, double check, check again.. then check again!
