Trench Coat:
With the inevitable half-nudity of Madison's finest, covering up from party to party is a must. The trench coat has enough coverage to escape the 36-degree low tonight and the 42-degree low on Saturday. The greatest part of this cold weather choice is that passers-by will wonder if you're wearing anything beneath it at all.
Pepper Spray:
As the outsiders stream into town, one has to wonder about one's own safety. This legal protective measure can be made into a part of a costume or simply thrown into a purse or pocket for emergency use.
Walkie Talkies:
As everyone tries to call their friends and their friends' friends, the phone lines will get overwhelmed as they always do. An alternate form of communication will prevent one from wandering aimlessly down State Street searching for someone to latch onto. Although, the police would gladly sweep up a lost friend, keeping tabs on each other is the best option.
