C'mon, get packin'!

When he's traveling or on tour, Eddie's almost always seen with his ubiquitous suitcase. From what I've read and seen, the contents vary; from notebooks, setlists, and cds, to a pack of smokes, and even a bottle of wine.



His carry-on case, I gather, is for the things he likes to keep close at hand, plus some comfort items.

If you had to pack your own EV-esque suitcase, what would you include? Use discretion on the size and quantity of things you choose--relative to the size of the bag. (And we're not talking toothpaste, soap, and shampoo--these will be in your five-star hotel room when you arrive at your destination, you rock star, you. ) Practical, enjoyable, sentimental, don't want outta-your-sight possessions are fair game.

I would pack the following:
Wallet & passport. Don't feel like carrying a purse.
iPod. Goes without saying.
My essential PJ/Vedder dvd collection. Seven selections, very portable.
My cell phone. Set to vibrate. I'm screening my calls.
My copy of Infinite Jest by the late David Foster Wallace. At over a 1,000 pages, my case just got heavier! Only halfway through. And no kindles or nooks or iPads. I'm old-school that way. I like the heft and feel of a real book.
My camera. Nothing sophisticated, just a compact auto-focus Canon ELPH. My cell's not fancy enough to take decent pictures.
My journal. Tucked inside are two photos of my son and daughter.
Two pens.
Newspaper.
Lipstick and compact. For touch-ups. Again, don't feel like carrying a purse.
1-lb bag of Kona Coffee. Can't take a chance on dodgy coffee at the airport.
Pack of Camel lights & my cool EV chrome Zippo lighter. Will come in handy at happy hour.
Bottle of water.
My favorite jacket. Folded and stuffed on top.
