i'm packing for denver.. ask me anything
i've got 11 rolls of film, about 45 minutes worth of 8mm film for my old kodak movie camera, 4 hours of hd film for the hd cam and 4 hours of non hd film just in case i run out, and my digital cam with two 1GB memory cards.

1. no questions, but some unsolicited advice on what to pack
pack a sweater or hoodie, it can be chilly at night here and the weather is unpredictable as hell (90s yesterday, gray and drizzly today and i'm about an hour north of denver). don't forget your sunscreen if you plan on being outside for any length of time.

also, watch your salt intake and drink plenty of water when you get here.

have a safe flight :hi:

7. tough to say about the elevation
you're young, don't smoke (smart young woman that you are) and am pretty damn sure you're not going to be consuming any alcohol, so it shouldn't be too hard for you. but it would be prudent to take it easy the day you get here to let your body adjust.

i forgot to mention a hat, too, if you're going to be outside a lot. and wear sunscreen even if it's cloudy...you can still get scorched.

i am going to try to make it to the meetup on wednesday, but am not entire sure i can spend the money on gas right now...i might have to hit up the first bank of dad ;)
