In a fit of randomness, the Evil Overlordess and her Foreign Affairs Advisors (Coconut, Canela and a sock monkey called Warhol) have decreed that instead of having an official fancy ball at the end of the Sprinklemastide Season, they're doing things a bit differently this year.
For one thing, you'll need this packing list.
For another, we'll still have a Not-So-Ceremonial Goat. No worries.
These are just guidelines, mind. Everything has to fit in a suitcase, box, bag, or sun-dried sack made out of lion intestine that is no larger that 16" by 12" by 7.8938" inches and weighs no more than what a weighty condundrum weighs on a really confusing day. You won't be allowed anything save what you pack-- no plotholes or anything.
And thusly:
The Packing List! (Applause)
-Clothing. Clothing is mandatory. On Sept 1st, day of the Sprinklemastide Celebration's kick-off, Coconut will hand round official 'I'm a Bubblewrapian Empire Citizen, Antagonize Me and See the Meaning of 'Brutal Carnage and Excruciating Pain!'* t-shirts in attractive shades of teal and not teal.
-Something to sleep on, in, or under, along with a pillow. Pillows cannot be orange. At all. Sorry. These don't count towards your box limit.
-Your own band-aids. The Budget Committee (Coconut and a small rock from the Citadel's courtyard) has decided that we can only afford three blisters and a-cup-of-scalding-tea-dropped-into-someone's-lap-incident this year, so if you plan on getting hurt, pack accordingly.
-Swimsuits, towels, and pool floaties
-Earplugs
-Buzzard repellent
-A kazoo (sheet music of the BWE's National Anthem will be provided, once the Propoganda Department, which consists of the small rock and an old bottlecap, make an anthem up)
-Snacks, sugar, caffinated beverages
-Money
-Reading material and other entertainments
-Toilettries, which does not, note, mean 'small toilets' at all.
-CDs and DVDs that Offiically Do Not Suck. TEO has delegated the Power of Choosing What Sucks to Canela.
We're packing for about four days, doing laundry as we go. Purses don't count but you'll have to carry them all the time, so be warned. Post what you're bringing here, and we'll go through it, make moral judgements as to your choices, mark your luggage/bag/box with special color-coded stickers, put it in a bunker underneath a small nearby mountain, forget all about it, and retrieve it on the 1st of September. If you don't post, you might not be able to go, and you probably won't be able to bring anything.
Are you excited yet? Curious? I betcha are. You should be. In fact, the Civic Expectations Subdivision (Coconut and a hyperintelligent shade of the color blue) demands that you be anyway.
So there.

And thusly, I'm bringing:
-The Mess Kit of Retaliation, which contains the Skillet of Doom, the Spoon of Fire, a blunt-ish knife and dented aluminum pan in a silly mesh bag.
-Clothing, including a raincoat, silly-looking sunhat, three pairs of jeans, a fluttery green skirt, four shirts, a scarf, socks, a bathing suit, sandals, sneakers, and a towel. Shut up, I know it's not clothing.
-A sleeping bag and hibiscus-print pillow
-A small First Aid kit, which is is officially allowed to use, you know. TEO's got mad skillz.
-Six boxes of chocolate Pocky, a small bag of peanuts, instant coffee and green tea bags
-Earplugs
-An orange metal kazoo
-Anti-Rape-Anti-Pillage-Anti-Viking-Anti-Buzzard Repellent.
-Her purse, containing a bottle of bubbles, small notebook, two black pens, a Chinese fan, bouncy ball, and wallet
-A copy of 'Pride and Prejudice,' which she's currently reading, and Alan Moore's 'Watchmen'
-Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and a synthetic washy thing that she refuses to call a loofa, all Anti-Buzzard and Lavendar scent.

Okay so I guess I'll pack here...
Clothes: I guess we can do laundry or something, so I'll bring... My bellbottoms, the hole-y-hippie pants, and... Oh heck, a blue jean skirt, yellow and black striped tights, a black tank top that says "Kiss me I'm Romanian" one that has a raven on it, and one with that's cut bodice style. Oh, and a black coat with shiny stuff pinned all over it, just in case.
Something to sleep on in, or under: My tiger pillow (his name is Tony) and my red plaid blanket, that's all I need.
Band-aids: Screw that, a roll of gauze.
Swim stuff: A swimsuit that's black, with green plaid bottoms, a black towel, and a rubber ducky.
Snacks: A case of Dr. Pepper, a large bag of pixie stix, four shot glasses, and some gold fish crackers.
Entertainment: Alice in Wonderland, Trickster's Queen, and The Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe.
Toilettries: Generic ones for chicks, you know the deal.
Cds: Dog Problems by The Format; Yes, Virginia by The Dresden Dolls; Dizzy Up the Girl by The Goo Goo Dolls; and Disc One by They Might Be Giants. DVD of The Breakfast Club and V for Vendetta.
Other stuff: Some money, a kazoo, earplugs, buzzard repellent, duct tape, a camera, a small video camera, and a notebook and pens.
I think that covers it.
Oh, and my purse, which has throwing cards, some knives, sunglasses, a screwdriver, a small wooden stake, about a dozen catnip mice, my orange bandana, some white and black eyeliner, black white and green mascara, black eye smudge, gold lipstick, chapstick, a deck of cards, a small box of chalk, a small notebook, a pen, a felt tipped black marker, some ribbon, two lighters, a set of lock picks, a plaid berret, a small bag with a lump of copper in it, a picture of my sister, a wooden tile with a white rabbit on it and some shiny washers.*
*So I empyed out my purse and wrote down all that's in it. I've got some weird stuff in there.

Just as a warning, if anyone was planning to sneak any of the LOTR movies in by putting them in the case to The Princess Bride or something, Canela will not fall for your scheme.

And Canela is bringing:
-Two pairs of jeans, a fluttery camouflage skirt, an orange skirt with little flowers printed all over it, several t-shirts and tank tops, a hoodie, assorted earrings, pajamas, sneakers, and sandals.
-A sleeping bag and a pillow that definitely isn't orange.
-An emergency kit that includes first aid supplies and basic medication, needles and thread, bug spray, and an air horn.
-A swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, and deflated pool raft.
-Ear plugs and a sleep mask.
-The requisite kazoo.
-Chocolate chips, honey-wheat pretzel sticks, dehydrated fruit, bottled water, a carton of chai, and soy milk for mixing it.
-Her purse, which contains sunglasses, lip balm, her wallet, pens, a notebook, and other small assorted items.
-Her Giant CD Wallet of Indie Doom, a Reduced Shakespeare Company DVD, and the movies Amelie and Mirrormask.
-A collection of the Brothers Grimms' Fairy Tales, knitting needles, and yarn.
-Shampoo, soap, toothpaste, etc.
-Her driver's license, road maps, mapquest instructions, and a radar detector, because unlike TEO, she can drive and thinks of this sort of thing.

-Clothing wise, I'm brining several pair of khaki cargo pants, a few t-shirts, a black turtleneck, socks, flip flops, tennis shoes, and, of course, a polka-dotted poncho.
-A fully-equiped Plot Hole Brand Expanda-Tent, which comes with a kitchen, living room, parlor, library, yoga room, hallway, linen closet, dungeon, but no bathroom or bedroom. Which eliminates the purpose of the tent. Darn. In that case, a tiny tent, a green sleeping bag, and a Not-Orange pillow.
-A BWE First-Aid Kit, which consists of Glomp-B-Gone, Hat Glue, Shaving Cream, Suntan lotion, Anti-Troll cream, and a rubber duck. Oh, and a box of Band-Aids.
-A pair of swimming trunks, pilot goggles, a giant black towel, and a inflatable turtle.
-Earplugs
-No Buzzard Repellant, replaced it with a lovely Umbrella, which could be used to beat a buzzard.
-The required kazoo
-Instant coffee, a 1000 pack of pixy stix.
-5 dollars, a quarter, a few buttons, and some lint.
-Several volumes of Manga
-Generic toiletries, of course.
-Shakira- Oral Fixations Vol. 2, Liz Phair- Somebody's Miracle and Liz Phair, Tatu- 200 kmh in the Wrong Lane and Dangerous and Moving. DVD wise, I'm brining all of the Tyler Perry musicals and movies.

Music approved, Jette m'dear. (Is that the Spanish Shakira CD or the English one?)
Movies also pass Canela's Test of Non-Suckiness. I don't actually know who Tyler Perry is, but I like musicals. *Shrug*

*pops out of closet with sock on ear, and checklist*
I think I got it all:
Clothes: Four pairs of jeans, a long black skirt, my 'I need a hug' tee-shirt, a sweater, two purpe tees, black and hot pink van shoes, one pair of black heels just in case, my set of chopsticks for my HAR, and my new purple kimono top thingy cause it's perdy, and I want to stare at it.
Sleeping: two tank tops and shorts jammies sets, my purple sleeping bag, a small pink with purple polka dots tent, my tigger pillow which is actually a giant stuffed tigger, and slippers that look like turtles.
Medical junk: One smallish box-o-band-aids, and some neosporin.
Swim stuff: my faveorite black bathing suit that doesn't fly up around my boobs, a large six foot yellow beach towel, sun screen, sun glasses, sun hat, and a parasol.
Snacks: gold fishy crackers, fruit loops, two twenty four packs of grape soda, and skittles, insta-hot coco! just open the package, add coco and hot water, and the biggest box of instant noodles in the entire BWE.
Entertainment: Assorted manga and Ink Heart.
Toiletries: Generics for las chicas, doy.
CDs and DVDs: Assorted anime music given by Jette, Evanescence's "Anywhere but home", and Korn's "See You On The Other Side".
And since Jette took all my Tyler Perry musicals, (which aren't your typical musicals, they are comedy movies preformed on stage adressing common modern issues, and about twelve zillion songs praising god, and they can REALLY sing) the only DVD's I can offer are Robin Williams live on broadway, and an educational film called Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Other Items: Ear plugs, a purple Kazoo, sketch pad, big box of pencils, buzzard repelant, and some assorted shiny objects.
Me thinks this covers everything.

Mmm, looks like a bit much there, Aris. Could you cut down a tad in the clothing department, or perhaps with snacks? Other people have yet to post and will need stuff as well. We *do* have a finite amount of space for all this stuff here.
*mysterious grin and gleeble*

Medical junk: Bah!
Swim stuff: I don't swim. I can levitate using my CocaCola Product Levitation Powers.
