I'm probably just bringing headphones and a portable; packing light since I get in late Friday and have to ship out early Sunday. If, for whatever reason, someone needs a mid-fi multi-format player (Marantz, SACD, DVD-A and HDCD capable), I would be willing to bring it. Other than that, just a sampling of my better CDs and possibly some vinyl:

Grado RS-1 (with bowls and flats)
Audio-Technica ESW9
Sennheiser HD25
Sony NWZ A816

[EDIT] I'll be bringing a light photo set up as well. Canon 30D, tripod, etc.
