I'm not a pro, but I'm sort of young. I tend to keep sweatshirts, first aid kit, a book, sunscreen, toiletries, ipod, headset, camera, phone, keys, notebook, water bottles, bike helmet, and whatever else I happen to be carrying. Men don't get to have purses, and I hate bulky pockets. [/ QUOTE ] men don't wear bike helmets either. |

This has been the rule for years, not only was I asked to remove my duffel bag once I have also seen this happen many times. Best solution - check your backpack with the concierge desk to the right of the main desk. Note - I haven't played at the Borg in 6 months, but this was the rule for as long as I have been going there. |

When it's invented, I will carry the Swiss Army Darkberry JedI-pod. One device that functions as a cell phone, email, tricorder, internet, mp3 player, light-saber, calendar, , UV lamp (to catch daubers), universal translator, phaser, bottle opener, and contraceptive pez-dispenzer with a Gabe Kaplan bobble-head.
