Have a plan, then expect that to go out the window in the first hour. I had everything broken down into 15 minute intervals, but the actual plan went out within the first 15 minutes. What the plan did do was to have everything I wanted us to do down on paper and it made it easy to prioritize activities and keep us focused. This group is a herd of cats.

The important thing is to have something ready to go at all times. Setup is a time killer, and you don't want to waste more playing time deciding on what to play. Have a playlist ready, but leave openings for suggestions from your group.

Sleeping places are a premium. Don't stack everyone in the same room. People go to sleep at different times. Have a dedicated spot for nightowls, and try to game away from where people sleep. Be ready to not sleep much when you're hosting. I slept only 4 hours or so each night at mine, and I slept in a closet.
