Default Going to a Crop - Advice

So once a month i go to a crop and work on the one paper design team I'm still on. Jenni Bowlin - it's for her kits. This month I only have two layouts to do and six hours at the crop.

I'm bringing my laptop which is not loaded with all of my stash - only a few kits here and there. I brought a couple DVDs of photos and downloaded a kit. What am I forgetting? What else would you load up? There is no Internet connection there!

A basic element kit that had basic colored frames, flowers, buttons, etc.
A few of your fav Traci Reed stitches
Templates - in case your brain isn't feeling overly creative
Date stamps/ project 365 kit that has a little bit of everything in it
More kits than you think you'll need - I ususally bring my small EHD full of pics and kits and just plug it in my own personal 6 plus I bring
Make sure all your fav fonts are loaded
I copy layouts for inspiration on to Word documents or make a PDF with Photoshop so that if I get stuck I have something to draw on

Take more digi stuff than you think you'll need. Without instant access, you'll find you have stuff you wanted but can't get. Stitches, templates, alphas etc etc.

Have fun!

I went to a crop last month and was the only digi girl there. It was a blast! I had wi-fi, which made a huge difference. The one thing I'd make sure is that there is easy access to an electrical outlet. That wasn't the case for me, and we had to switch some things around to make it work.
