- Tickets

If you have those two nothing else really matters! But on a more practical level
- Wet Wipes

spare set of car keys, without them you're buggered if a set are lost, no insurance cover, no trips to Carrefour to provide, no trip home, no drive out with Debbie on Friday.
There'll be no drive out for you at all if you keep calling her that.

So Bob,
The most important thing for at LM is a pair of pantyhose, so you can filter the sediment out of a violently shaken bottle of wine.
BTW, as the bit between the legs is double layered, it's best to use that part.

Lots of sunshine helps. And 2 way radios come in handy when you cannot rouse members of your group from drunken slumber when heading out for the night stint. Saves those 'where did you bastards go last night, why didn't you wake me up' arguments the next morning!
