[nadinbrzezinski]

I am taking the vest

5 camera batteries charged yesterday. (Actually 7 since there is 1 per camera body)

2 recorders. Both have fresh batteries. One is a backup.

4 extra SD cards I need to pick up two. They have been dying. So will go to Best Buy after the final check and before I go downtown, or Office Depot.

A tripod. Need to be there earlier for setup.

Extra batteries for the recorders and the Mike

1 extra 70-300 lens

Cleaning cloth

Food bars

2 notebooks

5 pens

I Rode microphone

Long day for a photog. Oh and why the vest and not a bag? I expect a media scrum

1. Good luck, stay safe and have fun covering it.

2. Journalism pays lousy

But it is mostly fun.

When I covered the Ron Paul Rally we did not have that much gear. It was both good and bad. But it was fun.

It was also educational.

Getting a very good lunch. Just picked two 64 cards on sale at Office Depot. They were 30 each

If Trump shows up the fun will include a few things I am not taking today. I also doubt they will let a local outlet inside.

7. Home. Exhausting day

I estimated the crowd by walking the line at 15k campaign says it was 13k between main hall and overflow.

I got my exercise.

Posted a quick and dirty tonight from the venue. Will have a much fuller story in the morning

400 plus photos to go. Recorded the stump speech was not able to video this oh and the big boys were there. I expect almost zero coverage

8. Good luck!

Jane is here today, and will be at a meet & greet at the Moose's Tooth pizza tonight, but that place is usually a madhouse even without a celeb being present, so I'll probably pass. She is in Alaska through the caucus on Saturday.

9. It was an exhausting day

But worth it. Political rallies, no matter who, are always fun to cover
