With Katsucon just days away, I’m starting the process of gathering my gear together for the trip. In addition to the necessities like clothes and toiletries, I had to put together a selection of items to make sure I’m well armed for the con. In the picture above, I’ve got a few necessities, including my DS, compact digital camera, extra batteries for camera, spare memory card and a bag to put it haul it around in.

I’ll also be bringing the SX10 along with me and had to make sure it’ll fit in the bag.
