The Zen of packing...
Pick a bag.
Start filling it, beginning with the most important stuff.
When full, Stop.
This has never failed me. Until tonight. Maybe its because I am doing it a couple of days early because of commitments in the next couple of evenings. Urgency adds for ease of decision making.
I blame Melbourne. At this time of year, Melbourne has weather just like Wellington's. How do you work out what to take when the weather is so variable. Its hard enough working out which jacket to take to work when I can see the weather at the start of the day - let alone a week in advance.
Of course, I'm going to a con. That makes it easier. Since Neil Gaiman is going to be there, I can even work out what jacket to take (Black Leather) regardless of whether its appropriate or not.
Of course, I'm a guy - do I really care? Nope.
Here endeth the lesson in how my mind works. There will be a short written quiz next week.

But you have to go to
Just prod me if you don't know people and want introductions or anything, eh?
