I think I just might label everything I have “Not A Bomb” including myself.

It is the Indiana Jones Bag. Yes, it is.

@Todd – I really wanted a bag closer to what it sounds like you have. Mine is vinyl. Canvas would have been much better.

The pen might be a problem. Maybe label it “not a bomb.” It could work.

I’m writing on a netbook right now, and I love it. My ‘laptop case’ is a WWII gas mask bag. The great thing? Nobody ever tries to steal it as it doesn’t look like it has a computer in it.

I tend towards the low tech myself, it looks like things might work out that I’m breaking in a new paper journal at AWP, great place for it.

My major concern? Getting fountain pen ink past TSA security. How many ounces in a bottle of Levenger Smoky Grey?

Thanks, Marlive! About the netbook, I have to say, I love it. I’ve only had it a little while, and honestly (and I’m not the type to credit productivity to technology), I have been writing so much more since getting it. It may just be the novelty of the thing, sure, but it’s working so far.

Caleb, I like your style. When I attend lit conferences I tend to pack light and carry just as many tech devices as you, with the exception of the netbook (which I will be trading in my laptop for in the coming months). Great blog!
