Not much. Just enough to have a table for my laptop & opened up Amiga. I could bring a few issues of 80 Microcomputing aswell, which would be the ones I have duplicates of. The duplicates aren't in particularly good condition so it doesn't matter too much if they were to get accidentally damaged :)
All the other issues of 80 Microcomputing I have are pretty much in mint condition and I wouldn't risk bringing to the event (is that bad? Would anyone else feel the same way?).

I'd just bring my car.
