Checklist of Items for Dragon

What does one normally bring to Dragon? This is my first one.

FRS Radios (just got two pretty good ones on sale at Best Buy for $23.00 - normally $79.00 as verified by ebay).
Ghetto cleaning system (the pump sprayer and cleaning supplies)
Laptop
Digital Camera
Food??
First Aid Kit?
GPS (don't have one yet)
Krut Clothes etc...
Booze??

Am I forgetting anything?

I have found that is useful to carry window cleaner and a few towels in the car as well. When you make a stop at one of those out of the way places that pepper the area, you can clean the window and make the next leg a little nicer.

I have to always write down the '& charger' part on my list or I forget them

Ant spray - Our cabin had ants last year. No big deal.. a few sprays gets rid of them. Cheaper to bring it than buy it at the little General Store

Bath Towel - If you're in a big cabin and its full, might want to bring an extra

HuMMMM?

Hummm, what elses?

OH!!!! White Street Chalk and maybe some kind of orange strips of material for marking oil spots. Last year someone dump large amounts of oil on the dragon. I slipped through it but then I had no way to mark it for others and being a motorcyclist, I wanted to help out my fellow riders but didn't have a way to mark the road.
