With Nuit Blanche around the corner, I was wondering what gear people are planning to carry about with them.

D300 + film camera with BW film (either my Baldix or AE-1)
17-55mm f2.8 (standard walk around lens
Hyperdrive (a great investment and I highly recommend it!)
tripod (for long exposure goodness)
ND filter (for super long exposure goodness)
wireless remote for shots longer than 30s
spare batteries (that's a given)
iPhone with Night Navigator app

I'd recommend a list of all available food spots that might be open after 11PM and before 6AM, and a list of all possible washroom locations that might be available after 11PM and before 6AM

:-)

Check this link out for info on food & drink.

I'll be going either after 1am or getting up early around 4am and thus avoiding the need for hockey helmet, cup, tazer, blood pressure monitor, etc.
Gear-wise I'm bringing:
Canon 40D
16-35mm f/2.8 L (rental)
17-85mm f/4.5-5.6 IS
Verti-grip (2 batteries) + 1 extra battery
Wired remote
Tripod
About 10Gb of CF memory
iPhone with Night Navigator App...

...CAFFEINE of some sort!!
