Spent last night packing for my hosting duties at the 2014 Canadian Sponsorship Forum in Ottawa. I hate packing; it’s like moving. Which I also hate.
Packed two different shirts for the “Night at the Museum” dinner event. Partly because I can’t decide if I am wearing a sports coat or not.
Packed two different pairs of pants for The Killers concert at RBC Bluesfest. Again, not sure if I should wear my beige denim or my khaki baseball pants from Intuition.
Was able to decide on which toothbrush to bring. My souvenir Pittsburgh Steelers model is my road trip go-to.
Packed six (!) pairs of shoes and then realized this morning that my new Nike runners were left behind. Guess I am headed home before tripping to the airport.
Packed a new liver. If you have been to Forum you’ll know why.
Looked around for replacement vocal chords. Couldn’t find any. Guess I will have to use sign language to host, come Friday.
Packed a rain coat but really didn’t want to. Going to ask my Pops to do his rain dance and scare away the clouds.
Didn’t have any toothpaste for that Steelers brush. Hoping the hotel store is open when I land. Check that, it won’t be. I should head out at lunch today to do a RX run.
Packed Sports Illustrated. It will soon take a privileged spot in my hotel bathroom. Yes that’s TMI… but where else do guys read SI?
Didn’t pack a map of Ottawa – I have my friends from Ottawa Tourism who will keep me pointed due north.
If you thought seven pairs of shoes were too much, you should see how many pairs of socks I’m on-boarding!
Almost packed my own speaker gift. That didn’t make any sense since I would be bringing it back to Toronto after presenting it to myself, which makes even less sense! But I want to show it off because it’s so amazing. Thanks Reward Connections.
Still thinking about my clothes and wish I got some advice from my ‘nephew’ Dave St. Helene. DSH & the 365 Productions crew are packing all of our amazing AV staging for the conference.
Left a little room to throw in any last minute purchases from ROOM 2046. Never been? It’s my emergency fashion depot when I’m not feeling prepared. It’s only a four-minute walk from my office!
See you in Bytown!
