I'm curious what others who have attended past Djangofests recommend I pack for the trip. For sure I'll be bringing extra picks, strings, etc. Anything out-of-the-ordinary that I should bring that one wouldn't normally think of, or any wise advice?

Weather report.

Ryan Rhea

I've been eying that same report. Rain? In WA? No way!

I just hope it won't be raining a bunch the whole time.
