it’s in the bag

My friend John, who is organising the band trip to Germany next month, sends me an inventory of things I can/must take.

Four men/pensioners in a van, along with instruments, PA and personal stuff, means that space is at a premium.

the list;
case/bag (small).  How small? “Carry-on size”.
guitar (small)
guitar bag “No hard cases”.
microphone
guitar lead(s)
guitar pre-amp
blow-up bed

“You’ll probably want to bring a guitar-stand.  They can be a bit big though. I’ll have to give it some thought.”

The postman has just brought this.  It’s small, perfectly formed and folds up in an ingenious manner so that it’ll fit inside a guitar bag.  With guitar.

“Don’t worry about a guitar stand”  I say “- it’s in the bag.”
