Here's a small list of items that EVERYONE must bring to XXX-Day!
Videotapes - All kinds but especially BLANK VIDEOS! 8mm MiniVHS cassettes.
And please go the extra mile and get the 8 hour tapes, we want to get
PLENTY of footage, and YES you can go to Radio Shack and get 8 hour 8mm
cassettes. If not 8 hour then at least 6.
Video equipment - All equipment welcome, but 8 mm MiniVHS preferred.
Video games - Old Atari systems, ColecoVision, Nintendo, Sega and
PlayStation! If you have FULL SIZED GAMES, BRING THEM TOO! We'll BUILD OUR
OWN Galaxy-zappin' ARCADE ON BRUSHWOOD!
Coupons for Arby's Roast Beef. We'll descend upon the Erie PA Arby's like
a PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS! They will remember and speak for years to come of
"the day Bob came to Arby's..."
Costumes - Whatever costumes you have! Everything from holy vestments to
nurses outfits to law enforcement to pizza delivery and all in between. If
you think it's cool, wear it!
Computer equipment - Laptops will probably be a common sight, but if you
want to bring that ENIAC you keep tucked away in the basement, by all
means load it into a U-HAUL and BRING IT TO XXX-DAY! And Digital cameras!
Esp. the Sony Mavicam, the one that records to 3 1/2 inch floppy disks and
has X-RAY VISION! Macintosh users, BRING YOUR POWERBOOKS AND iBOOKS!
Drugs - Any legal and quasi-legal substance.
Stuff to BURN! Old receipts, old bibles, old cadavers, old anything that
you want OFF THIS PLANET! BURN! BURN!!!!!

I will heartily second that. What kind of twisted freak wants to turn
XXX-Day into a fucking LAN party? You people do understand that there's
going to be *naked women* at Brushwood, right? Not to mention live
antimusic, people running around with squirt guns, bonfires, delicious
beverages, 'frop, prairie squid, ranting freaks, pirate radio and
pyrotechnics. Digital cameras I can approve of, but what is the goddamned
point of a camera with X-Ray Vision at a NAKED BOBTISM?!
You wanna swap software, try ICQ. X-Day is all about MEATSPACE, baby.

Time to go.
Dont't forget sunscreen, water, Peril sensitive goggles,
"grey-away" spray to prevent unwanted abduction, a saucerful of
secrets, and a jar of flies.

Bring cans of automotive starting fluid. They sell them in "Everything
for 99 Cents" stores, but I forget how much they cost.
Really, I need them for the energy demon.
