I will be attending my first DE on the 31st at Sebring

What would you experienced DE'ers recommend? I'm looking for ideas of things to bring (umbrella, camera, cooler w/ drinks), things to do to the car (painters tape on the lights?), and what not.

I figure that there must be a ton of experience & knowledge here on the site, might as well learn

Thanks in advance.

p.s. If anybody else will be at Sebring I'll be in the silver CS with #987 (to denote the date I picked her up: Sept, 8th, 2007 no less )
