After some experimentation I finally got a pretty solid collection of things to bring on the road.
Not on the picture but also brought on most trips:
- Canon Eos 400D with 28mm f/1.8 EF lens (used to take this photo)
- X60 tablet power supply or MacBook Air power supply
- Kata SLR/laptop backpack which can contain the above
The Rock n Roll Bag

This is the Timbuk2 bag I take to shows with me. Basically anything that is not an instrument or an amp (or the laptop) goes in here. For shows with Honor by August, Juniper Lane and Rotoscope. Does not count the toys on the bass pedal board.
Incase Hardshell Case

The Incase Hardshell Case for 15" MacBook Pro. I chose the Incase over Speck because I liked the rubberized, matte surface, and the build quality seemed sturdier (but that’s purely conjecture). It snapped on easily, and a nice touch was the battery power meter button passthrough. The "clips" that secure the Incase to the laptop are more subtle than on the Speck, but I’m not a fan of how Incase embosses its own logo on the lid (whereas the Speck advertises only on the bottom piece).
My main complaint about the Incase was the right rear lower corner would catch on the MBP screen edge when I opened it up, making a teeth-gnashing snapping sound. I ended up filing down the edge a tiny bit, and now it opens without catching or rubbing. For something that costs so much and brags about how finely its engineered, though, this seems like a big flaw.

Nice. But now tell us how much of this you could do without.
Not much is essential – although the camera, X60T, Iphone and headphones would be sorely missed on any interesting trip
What? You dare leave the house without a pen and notebook? That would be at the top of my can’t-do-without list…
Other than that – impressive collection.
Do you think there will ever be a "Russian space pen" equivalent to all this?
@Kaeru – I’m pretty bad with pen (my handwriting is slow and ugly) and paper (always lose/rip/fold it). My PC has a pen tough…
@Peter – I think most of this stuff already works at zero G
So you’ll be able to scratch notes into your PC’s surface when its battery dies? Sweet!
Should that happen I can always try to store those notes in wetware.
Wow.
Man…I had forgotten how much crap you have to lug around if you play in a band. Not missing those days now!
Very cool!
Looking good.
Wow do they finally have hardshell cases for the new 15" Macbook Pro? I need to get my hands on one. I’m scared that mines is going to take a beating sometime soon
Looks really nice… And plus I <3 green
I like the one you got. Too bad for all the tweaking you had to do but my taste matches yours…I ike the matte finish and greeen also. You have good taste…hehe. The logo doesn’t look all that big right? I need to get me one of those! Love your stickers too!

Seen on your photo stream. (?)
The logo’s not bad, but the fact that the corner was catching was annoying. Definitely prefer the surface feel, though, and the overall design.
