THE RACK. Keeping to together...

[Mark Sottilaro <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

Hey kids.

So, I had a slight meltdown at the Santa Cruz loopfest.  Upon unpacking 
tonight, I realized that heat in my car had softened the duct tape that 
was holding some wallwarts into their powerstrips, and they fell out and 
took some cables with them.  It didn't matter much due to what I had 
planned to do, but it brings me to the question:

How do people keep it all together?  It seems to me like every other gig 
SOMETHING is getting pulled out.  I'm not the only one, I believe Ted 
also had this issue at the festival.  Usually, I can recover, but with a 
quick setup time, I just gave up.  Regardless, it's a pain in the ass at 
any show.  Is there a tip or trick anyone has for such things?  Does 
anyone know where one can get generic computer style power cords in 1 or 
2 foot lengths?
