What is in your DJ bacpack series

[ToS]

Last week, DJTT article got error-published (as it is gone now) which gave me a idea about creating our own bag-content series. Therefore, I made an open group on Flickr and I invite you all in order to expand knowledge.

>>> http://www.flickr.com/groups/what-is-in-your-dj-bag/ <<<

The idea behind sharing-bag-content is to see what other DJs bring along (to gigs) in order to prevent show-stopping situations like cable breakage, weird mixer outputs, not enough power outlets, etc.
Flickr is a fine tool for this task because it allows tagging portions of image and anotating, thus allowing a fine-grained description of every picture element.

Hope yo'all get the idea and join, as I'd really like to share and discuss what is in your party pack.

loving the USB Numpad! sweet controller idea

EDIT: I just checked it out and I can get one for 10 bucks on ebay. Is there any noticeable latency or is it as sharp as using a controller?

I'll just do a list too:

For a digital gig:
HP Pavilion Laptop
American power supply and adaptor
Audio2 DJ
VCI-100 Controller
Sennheiser HD-25 Headphones
Plug extension lead
Power surge protector
10 metre RCA extension lead
2x2 metre Headphone to RCA (audio 2 output - 1 is a spare)
2x2 female to female RCA adaptors (for joining leads)
2x2 big to small RCA adaptors (in case the PA takes these)
2xXLR to small RCA adaptors (in case the PA takes these)
Gorilla pod light (it gets dark)
a loop hum isolator
a few mix CDs to give out
some flyers
a marker pen (writing down the name of tunes for people)
a couple of small screwdrivers (1 that can open the VCI, one to adjust the platter sensitivity)
gaffer tape

To play timecode:
As above except an audio8 instead of audio2, multicore cables, an extra hum isolator, spare carts for decks, vinyl brush, 45 adaptors. The VCI stays because I might mix on it.

The records have to go in another bag...

Just got back from a trip to Japan and a few small club gigs which tested the portability - I need to get a better bag. Fit everything into my messenger bag but it was too heavy for one shoulder. I will post a list too :

13" MBP + Power Adaptor (although I left one behind in a club - thank christ for Mac stores, but still ¥7800?!?!?!)
320gb USB HDD + USB cable with RF chokes
Novation nio2|4 + USB cable with RF chokes
2 x 3m stereo RCA Cables
Generic cans (with awesome sound isolation)

I just jack into the house mixer. On occasions I didn't even unpack my cables; just unpatched the CD deck end and repatched into nio.
