AIDS/Lifecycle 9 is a mere 3 days away now, and for all intents and purposes it begins Saturday with orientation day (aka "Day Zero"). I haven't even started packing yet.
Fortunately I took tomorrow off, figuring I'd need to run around some, and I made pretty good headway tonight getting the schedules for the tent and the individual team schedules set up in OpenOffice. This year I'm not laminating the tent schedules, because it just takes too long and we immediately throw them away after one use. Instead, I'll print them on card stock and we'll put them in sheet covers. The individual team schedules get printed on business cards and I will laminate those.
Tomorrow I have to find my lotion bottle and holster, wash sheets, pack sheets, begin packing all my other goodies, set up my netbook to tether to my phone, go thrift store shopping with my friends and teammates Tom and Chokae for costume bits that we still need for our theme days, deal with some last-minute AIDS/Lifecycle Captain business at the Cow Palace, pack everything... and maybe find time in there somewhere to eat and drink.
Saturday it's up bright and early to pick up Tom and head to Day 0 early so we can get our roadie-on. We have to watch a safety video, handle tentmating, check in, visit the camp store for any exciting new swag... then there's a Captains' Meeting, followed by an all-roadies Meeting, followed by the massage team meeting... which will be the first time my whole crew will be together in one place.
Then we scatter, go home, finish packing, and Sunday morning, we get up around 4:30 to be at the Cow Palace by 5:30 to start this crazy week...
...and I'm soooo not ready for this... but excited nonetheless.
