Packing Lists

 Okay, so based on the recommendation of some filkers I know I just got an app called "Packing Pro."    One of the things I think is cool about it is that items are organized into categories, subcategories, and items, and you can add a new entry at any level.  

Given its thoroughness on other subjects I was kind of surprised it didn't already have a category for musical instruments but it didn't so I made a category "musical" and a subcategory "mandolin" and then entered as items mandolin, spare strings, picks, capo, tuner, nail clippers (and I still need to go back and add "spare tuner batteries".)  Now, when I click on the subcategory "mandolin" everything I need for the care and feeding of a mandolin at a con is automagically added to the list.  I did the same for the octave mandolin.  *chortle*  I did the same for the Zoom H4n (I think I added it under gadgets rather than musical; perhaps I should re-do it for musical.  Must think on this.)

Speaking of thinking on this, I call and conjure the wisdom of the Internets!  Do you have things you find it particularly useful to bring to cons?  Categories and sub-categories I might want to add?
