  On Friday night, I am escorting two lovely ladies to a cocktail party (particularly happy about this).  

Are you sure you can handle two??? 
I can sacrifice and help you escorting one!

Almost Bear!

Allan, super big thanks for the spreadsheet advice... This will definitely be the biggest expo for me (and first CanJam), and if you hadn't said anything I probably would have tried to just "wing it." Where are my mechanical pencils... I'll probably need a new notebook... Or should I just use my iPad + stylus? Decisions decisions... Too bad the notes app can't be organized by folders, but I'll probably make a Number's spreadsheet and use Evernote because I can add folders, organizational tags, pictures, voice memos, and I think doodles too.

Might have to clear some iPad space too...

Oh, and I might like an SD/micro/SD card with my own music, or my Creative E5 which would allow me to have an Optical Out for my iPhone/iPad. Stillhart's CanJam impressions this spring made it sound like a great idea to bring your own music source if possible.

Wow, good points. First, I tried to use my iPad, but I found I need to jot down stuff faster then I could with the iPad. Hence the 'ol manual paper and pen.
 
As for music, bring three ways to listen.  For the CanJam area, bring your own DAP/Amp, if you have one for cans. For amps and DACs, bring your own DAP. For the rooms with speakers, surprisingly few of them were able to take a USB stick or SD Card. Most were able to take CDs. Most would prefer you not use your own stuff, but many had music server or Tidal, so have a song and backup song ready to recommend if you get the opportunity. 
 
I think Notes in iOS 9 has some better organization capability. That said, evernote or any of the other 100 Notes apps on the iPad will do.

I actually plan on using a voice recorder app on my phone for note taking.  It should be the fastest tool and it'll allow me to capture interviews as well.  If you're going that route, make sure you have plenty of free space on the phone.

I'm taking the same route. My phone is pretty decent about filtering out background noise, and while not as nice as a dedicated voice recorder it should still serve me well.

Responses in bold:

Wow, good points.
Thanks, but you got me thinking!

First, I tried to use my iPad, but I found I need to jot down stuff faster then I could with the iPad. Hence the 'ol manual paper and pen.
I have space in my iPad case for paper and a few business card slots, but I'll test out how well Siri can work. I'm often in a noisy environment and Siri does well enough for me to get what I was saying, I just can't think of what to say as fast as she can write!

As for music, bring three ways to listen.  For the CanJam area, bring your own DAP/Amp, if you have one for cans. For amps and DACs, bring your own DAP. For the rooms with speakers, surprisingly few of them were able to take a USB stick or SD Card. Most were able to take CDs. Most would prefer you not use your own stuff, but many had music server or Tidal, so have a song and backup song ready to recommend if you get the opportunity.
Good tips yourself! I think my iPhone or iPhone + E5 will suit for pretty much any situation, as the E5 is pretty powerful and decent DAC on its own, but it also can act as a digital transport from my phone to optical. I'll probably skip most speakers because I don't have the money in the forseeable future to upgrade past my Chane's.

I think Notes in iOS 9 has some better organization capability. That said, evernote or any of the other 100 Notes apps on the iPad will do.

OH! I knew you can doodle and stuff in iOS9 notes, but I didn't even notice till now that you could add folders! Yes!

Thanks Dan! And hard to think that the gravitational effect on the money in our wallets is starting well before we even get to Denver! Cheers and see you soon

And I can't believe that anyone would do something as geeky as pull together a spreadsheet for the show! What nerds. 
 
And of course I do the exact same thing for every CanJam, and have already completed it for RMAF. 
 
GEEKS RULE!
