After this event I bought some more and have been reasonably covered ever since, though I still would like to buy just a few more. The water bottle is a good idea, too. Wish I had thought of that. A camel pack would have been better but I am sure I would have looked really odd wearing that. Since I had on jeans, part of me wishes I had put on knee pads underneath to save some wear and tear on my body. I learned about the cards the hard way.

Everytime I shoot a long event my hand cramps up from gripping the camera so much. I've already invested in three pairs of shoes, trying to find ones that won't hurt after a couple hours. Another nice addition for events like this is a water bottle holder that attaches to your bag or belt loop and always carry a lot of cards because everyone wants to know where the pictures will be.
