Don't forget to bring your best tunes!
Others things you could bring (only suggestions):
-- Something for your expensive and precious headphones to rest on, could be a towel, headphone stand, the box of the headphone itself etc. this way they will always rest on the same, gentle, readily identifiable spot/surface
-- IEMs silicon/foam ear tips to try other's IEMs hygienically
-- Some practical food, as you might not be able or desirous to leave your gear upstairs "alone" or not being checked upon to go to a restaurant or a grocery store when you'll be hungry
Before the meet (general guidelines, nothing exhaustive):
Don't forget to take a shower and wash your ears as clean as possible; put on antisudorific/deodorant as carrying all your gear will probably make you sweat!
During the meet:
Be cool; it is important that you handle headphones, amps (for example: turning down the volume after each use), DACs (ask to change settings), cables (don't step/tangle/pull on them) and everything that isn't yours very (, very) carefully.
After the meet:
Enjoy all that you acquired whether it be friends/links, knowledge, listening experience, trades etc. According to custom, I made an impressions thread for you to talk about the event in its aftermath (and if you have photos, I'm sure others would appreciate if you post them
