Pre-registration for 2008 is open

That third, of course, being something you should adjust some if you're one of those very rare ppl whose doctor has told you not to. You may laugh, but it does happen. But certainly don't shower any less than you do normally, with soap and water and deoderant afterwards.

I'd also add to that list a couple of other classics:

4. Try to get at least close to a good night's sleep each night, say 6 hours. The convention loves you, but it will still be there in the morning.

5. For goodness' sakes, eat something. Do it eat least twice a day, preferably at least three times, whenever you're hungry, mostly stuff with some actual nutritional value and at least some protein. I know it sounds silly, but my sense from those who know is that every year someone ignores this, and then they're surprised when they spend the gather feeling shaky and awful, or they pass out and someone has to be called in to deal with them.

I could mention others, like practicing safety in any private encounters, and not drinking so much as to make yourself sick, but it all comes down to taking care of yourself. You want to stay healthy and coherent enough to enjoy the whole gather and remember all of the best parts. Or at least that's my feeling.
