As someone who has interviewed a ton of people... Man.. if of the 50~ some odd people I've interviewed in the last 4 years followed even 5% of the recommendations in the OP it would have made my interviewing experience a lot better and easier.

I recently got wrangled into a kind of ambush interview, something I'd never even thought of. Basically someone I knew recommended me to come meet with their colleagues for an unspecified reason which I agreed to because I wanted to catch up with an old friend, turns out it was an interview for a job with no title and completely nebulous job duties at a very strange company. I had very little time and was wearing my casual Friday work clothes. Needless to say I am almost positive I will not be getting that job.

Moral of the story is pack your interview kit into your car with printed resumes and anything you need to pitch yourself because you never know when opportunity may strike.
