oooo yes i did. ok, i'll make a list of things i did save. keep in mind, this was at 1 in the morning when i decided to leave and katrina was only a category 3 and we weren't expecting flooding at all since my section of town is protected by a huge levee...a huge levee that would only be broken by a huge catastrophic storm. and how often do those come around? so i took these things thinking that i didn't want them to get wet in case a window blew out or something.
computer
two guitars
amplifier
box o' important documents
playstation 2
CDs
4 t-shirts, 2 pairs pants, 2 pairs shorts
the entire Jetbaby album collection*
Jetbaby is the band i live with. they were going to stick it out (have since relocated to northern louisiana), but they wanted me to take all their recordings with me in case anything happened, plus some assorted paraphenalia and one-of-a-kind mix CDs.
everything else i left. the only other precaution i took was putting irreplaceable books in a garbage bag and putting it in the attic. i guess i shoulda taken them too, but well, one tends not to think too clearly in the face of a hurricane.
as for the novel, well...this may delay the schedule.
