    Yourself.

    and your computer if you are planing to pay for a BYOC seat.

    (try to leave all bags, coats, and other misc things in your hotel. You dont want to carry those all day)

    Its best to come with as many empty hands as possible. You will get swag in the expo hall :D Plus its more difficult to enjoy yourself if you are worrying about a backpack or something else the whole time.

    Also a camera if you want to get pics of things.

    Is it even possible to carry both DS, Digicam and goodiebags without a backpack?

    Cargo pants? Or other pants with many large pockets?

    A messenger bag would also be preferable to a backpack.
    That is if you are like me and will get annoyed with the crowd of people hitting the backpack and paranoid of people getting into it. while in a crowd.

    You could carry the camera on a strap on your shoulder and stick the DS in your goodie bag. It's what I did last year, except replace "DS" with "all my crap."

    The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

    It tears a rift into space and time which pulls people into another realm. And both bags are destroyed.

    What if you don't have any percentile dice to determine where the rift goes? What then?!

    If you turn a bag of holding inside out, it just becomes a normal inside out bag. So keep that in mind next time you find an inside out bag!

    Personally I prefer Heward's Handy Haversack. Multiple compartments, and if I want to get some water out while waiting in line I don’t have to worry about risking an attack of opportunity from one of my fellow line standers.

    Yeah, Heward's Haversack is ridiculously useful. I mean, all you have to do is reach in and the thing you want is right on top!

    However, for storage purposes for mass amounts of stuff, a Bag of Holding Type IV is really the way to go.
