what are some weird stuff that you keep in your accessories bag? Things that really have no musical value but you bring along anyway just in case.

personally it would be a pair of handcuff keys.

A sharpie. Someone once requested that I sign their rack (not the kind that holds amplifiers) but I couldn't find a marker. I haven't been asked since, but if it happens, I'm ready...

I dont know why, but after a set, changing my socks just feels so much better. I can deal with the sweaty shirt, and sweaty shorts, but with a clean, dry pair of socks, it feels alot better.

So far as sharpies go, I'd carry silver ones. It's the only color that shows up on everything.

I made the mistake of being without one once. Never again.
