sore throat and a constantly congested nose. darn 30000 other people and their foreign germs!

ctishman

I forgot that. I lost my voice, too, mostly, which sort of sucks when you work as a salesman.

Ty1012

well I was anxious and tired when I went on friday, so I felt a little pale the first 15 minutes or so.

no offense, but I'm honestly puzzled by this
you were in downtown Seattle where you can find a wide range of cuisine within two or three blocks
so why the crap food?

Foxy_Roxy

we spent our money on important things, like swag.

Druhim

haha
ok

ahaha
I remember making this thread last year.
Fatigue and sore throat for me.

No green poo this year! Hoorah!

Doc

I stayed home from work today because I had a bad enough sore throat that I thought it might be strep. It went away later, though.

Also bruised feet and a pain in my right knee.

Grath

syphilis and herpes

hardcorecomb

Stinky clothes from all the fucking body to body contact during the concerts. i guess i should call it being squished

proXimity

Repeatedly checking this forum over and overagain trying to relive the glory of the past few days.

ctishman

I miss pooing green. Maybe next year.

b0wser

I was stuck sitting right in front of a recirculated air duct outflow, behind the Prize Redemption booth. My throat wasn't too happy with that, but I'm thinking it should be fine in a couple of days.

EonBlue

soar throat
runny nose
what was the name of that song that i know the tune to but can't figure out its name-itis.

starsickness

-Lost voice (24 hours afterward, oddly enough. Currently answering phones like a frog.)

-Sunday night mania attributed to both lack of food and sleep. To the 20ID boys and Mif: Y'all are troopers for not being weirded out.

Sweet I'm not the only one haha

First con I've been to without the "Con-Crud" hitting me. I am suffereing from a lack of "FUCK-YEAH!" and a severe "depletion-of-funds" but all the cool stuff I brought home (SHIT-TONS of CCG/TCG games!) makes me feel better.

Deiru

Sore throat. I thought it was fatigue from being up more than 24 hours and smoking too many cigarettes but then I started getting headaches and post-nasal drip. I wished I'd brought a jacket with me the first two days because I kept getting really cold, but that probably wouldn't have helped the illness.

SkorMT

for the first and last time I ate at the burger place at the top of Pacific Place Mall..

can't count how many times I had to go to the bathroom that afternoon UG...

as for post pains.. just sore feet and knees

though after reading this.. I'll be popping my fighting drugs tonight.. just in case

Jaiden

Severe fatigue.
Sore everything.
I'll probably be hung over for days.
I'll probably be in pain for days after cleaning my apartment from two separate after-parties in consecutive nights.
Mild sore throat, fucked up sinuses.
BUT, I didn't lose my voice like I did last year having to yell at the goddamn concert line both nights without a megaphone like last year.

moodboom

enjoyed:
johnny rockets (veggie burger)
thai ginger (phad thai with tofu)
awesome happy teriaki (on the way to the airport) (veggies and tofu)
constant supply of starbucks soy lattes (damned stores are everywhere, gonna kill me)
yes i'm a vegan freak :P

almost barfed after:
crappy indian food at that monorail mall (the food court was skanky in general)

and still popping those Haze mints! my buzz may be ending soon, shit...
WHAT, PAX IS OVER!?! (/me looks around wide-eyed blinking)

Druhim

Yeah, the food at Westlake is ok at best. Got together on Thurs with some early arrivals up on Cap Hill at Pho Cyclo and had some great pho.

Kane

Next time your in town, if you want GOOD Indian, go up to Cap Hill and go to Annapurna or India Express. Both are EXCELLENT and offer veg.

Druhim

Also Cedars over in the U district.
Which reminds that I need to hit up Assimba in the CD for some damn good Ethiopian food. Haven't been there in a while.

Aioua

Sore throat
Acute lack of AWESOME
Sadness that the cute girl I met is now far away.
Chronic real life, with aggravated symptoms of work and school.

salian

Sore throat.
Bad fatigue/exhaustion that lasted through the evening on Monday

dyaballikl

Zarlune

Sore throat
Lost Voice
Fatigue

Post-PAX Depression

Being fueled by pure alcohol burned off anything less hardy than the ebola virus.

Nor do I get hungover. On the downside I had trouble sleeping, and hadn't brought any sedatives.

On the other hand, I had a lovely girl that was happy to see me, and gave me a great welcome back home.

SoulFury

I slept for 16 hours when I got home. After that I was dizzy standing for the next 8 hours. Now I'm alright just have to wait for the voice to come back.

Cynd3rCyn

Just have a sore throat and stuffy nose. Nothing major.

defaultprophet

I got lucky. Sadly, not like that.

I stirred up a bunch of dust packing and had congestion most of the weekend. Luckily, that seemed to make me impervious to airborne bugs. The worst ailment I got over the weekend was a wicked case of "Disney World Feet" on Saturday. You know, that strain in the tendons in the arches of your feet from walking way too much. That was thanks to the wicked awesome concert.

Other than that, it was just general back and shoulder ache from filling up a backpack with swag and drinks.

Even though I turned 21 on Sunday, I stayed dry for my own sake.

-does completely hating this hell hole(spokane) count as a symptom? It seems even worse after being in seattle, and the awesome of PAX.

There was a reason for this.
