There are a lot of digital voice recorders that are downright cheap 
(<$20).  Look on ebay, just search on voice recorder.  In addition, 
a number of MP3 players have voice recording capabilities.  Bear in 
mind that they might be pretty limited -- my MobiBlu has voice 
recording, but the quality is terrible, much worse than the Sony 
digital voice recorder I used to have.

I'll warn you that self-recording can be addictive.  I record all my 
gigs now.  After struggling with the MobiBlu for a couple of months 
I bought an M-Audio Microtrack, then turned around and bought mics 
and a stand for them.
