who else got the flu?

[Carnifex]

i heard many people got sick after returning from the workshop.
in my case that's true. when i got up the morning after the workshop(home again) i had 38 ° feever and a bad cough.
i think i'll either blame it on the air conditioning on the plane, the rain in sf or android. :perv:
anyone else feeling abit down? :zzz:

[cotron]

I got it... I have it now actually.

it's what I get for licking everyone's sketchbooks though.

[WillSchnevel]

i have it too, and it's fantastic. I can't sleep, my head is aching, my throat is itching, etc. :nohope:

[cartoonfox]

yep i got a bit ill. i had a real bad sore throat. its a bit better now, should be gone by tommorrow.

strange that loads of people got it, and most i talked to got it before andrew came in, so i dunno who it was.

anyway, was more than worth it, i had an awesome time ^-^



peace all :7up:

[poopinmymouth]

Muaaahahahahahah, I talked myself hoarse, but I didn't get sick. High immune system I guess, cause it was a close one, I could feel it almost get to me.
I figured after all these years of talking so much and so loud, my vocal chords could withstand a stustained 6 day blast, but unfortuneately they failed me the last night. My coworkers say it was a present from God, but its all better now. I told them I will just have to practice more, louder and longer, so I will be all trained up for next time. 8-)

[Teknobabel]

Yep, I got a cold the day after the workshop. Fortunately its almost run its course.

[fukifino]

I got sick before the workshop, so I was recovering all during it. As such, I had brought a whole baggy full of vitamins and was downing them at every oppourtunity. I started feeling bad the second day after getting rained on so I made sure to get extra sleep. Towards the end I was even handing my extra vitamins out to people who were starting to feel bad. So, fortunately, I didn't get it!

Saw Ron Lemen last night though and he says he got it. :(

[Undertow]

I'm running on DayQuill at work, NyQuill at night, and downing halls cough drops like they're candy.

[My Fault]

I'm downing Nyquil as well, but that's because I'm too cheap to buy bourbon :dur:

[Leopoldo]

Yeah, I caught the flu as well. Thankfully I'm home again, so I can enjoy my DVDs and sketch :)

[The Biocreep]

sick here

[Steph Laberis]

I managed to stay healthy throughout the whole workshop (I don't count food poisoning as true illness) but lo and behold, this morning I woke up with a sore throat and who knows what else as the day progresses. Getting soaked up to your knees on a daily basis without a jacket or umbrella will do that to ya.

Thunderdome Syndrome, ROCK, ROCK ON!

willow-stephanie: it's because your love of nerds has built up an immunity :) unfortunatly once you leave your nerd protective-barrier you fall ill

I got sick a few weeks ago, with i think the same thing becuse I'm the biggest nerd of all...

[Steph Laberis]

willow-stephanie: it's because your love of nerds has built up an immunity :) unfortunatly once you leave your nerd protective-barrier you fall ill


I think you could very well be onto something... but understand that my declaration of my love for nerds doesn't mean I exclude myself from said group of people... although, I think I'm more on the side of dork rather than nerd. Maybe a little geek in there for flavor.

Glad to see you're feeling better at least. :)

[artkitty]

So far I didn't get anything... though I could just be incubating germs to pass along to my GA buddies, kekeke :3

[anuhealani444]

I currently cant talk, I got sick on wednesday, stayed in bed all day yesterday, and am finally moving around today. It must have been all the rain, sitting in the freezing downstairs, and shaking so many hands. I thought I was the only one....

[emily g]

Oh, man. We came from all over the world to share germs with each other. :)
I'm not sick as of yet, but it doesn't mean I won't be.

Hope you all start feeling better,
emily

[PhilHolland]

I'm still sick :( Better then yesterday.

[Monkeybot]

I have a fever right now! :upset:

[Rkhon]

It hit me like a sack of bricks yesterday morning while delayed and cancelled in washington with no sleep. I'm fucking out of it.

[-MonkeyBoy-]

I am totally fine. I didn't mean to gloat, but I couldn't resist posting next to MonkeyBot. Heh heh. (Easily amused.)

VITAMINS you people!!!

[edit] Damn you Rkhon - spoiling my humerous serendipidous moment. (Was nice to meet you btw)

[Rathbone]

Yep me too. Sorry to add to the fun. Sniffle... sniffle... cough.

[Red_Rook]

yea i got it really bad, on the morning i was gunna leave to, i was proper fucked.. Im still a wreck come to think of it.

[MoP]

Yeah, taking 2 flights while under the influence of a nasty cold is no fun at all... pressure changes on the way home almost killed me. Fortunately I wasn't actually ill during the workshop, it all just kinda hit me the day after it all finished.
I guess this happens at pretty much any convention... someone's gonna be contagious!

[SpazMcFlash]

Somehow I didn't get sick, although I almost drowned 3 times while going to lunch and back in all that rain.
I think today I have finally caught up on my sleep and am no longer a walking zombie.
Yesterday I was fighting to stay awake for Ron's head quicksketch class. I didn't think that was possible...
hahah that workshop kicked our asses! :gasmask:

I hope all of you get well fast.

[oomgawa]

Add me to the list!
I got sick in San Fran and was unable to teach my first classes back in Seattle. Hope my subs did ok. Feeling better now.

Hey, Steph, sorry to hear you got sick after having food poisoning! Hope Jen was able to fly home and recup. She looked pretty bad when I flew out.

- I survived Thunderdom Syndrome, need the t-shirt!

[geezer87]

the only sickness i have is workshop withdrawl :(

going back to work on tuesday felt *really* weird. it's been tough to concentrate too ... all day and night all i can think about is drawing. i'm already countin' the days to the next one.

[bRyaN]

Ha, i'm pretty messed up, i haven't eaten since Monday....

[Groover McNab]

Yikes. Well I guess it's of some consolation I'm not the only one who's really sick. Managed to suck it up and actually go to work today, but the past 2 days I've barely gotten out of bed.

[Layil]

yep, im sick too. burning up and generally miserable, and ive got to fly back to barcelona tomorrow. yuck.

[Pan]

I got hit with a sore throat on Wednesday, a runny nose on Thursday, and now I'm pretty sure I'll be coughing and spluttering into the weekend. My boss made me go home early from work yesterday before I spread the "California Funk" around to other employees.

I feel for anyone who has to fly while sick though. Just don't do what I did and use the blankets on the plane. I'm sure that can't help. :nohope:

[0kelvin]

I got sick before the workshop, so I was recovering all during it.

Ditto. Hey, maybe one of us caused Thunderdome Syndrome!

Or maybe it was all a plot by the Massive Black guys to gather the world's greatest artists in one place and take out the competition in one fell swoop with a supervirus! Unfortunately they failed to take into account our heightened immunities from the copious amounts of caffeine in our systems. Another scheme foiled!

[fukifino]

OMG, I so hope I had nothing to do with it! :(

[benzo]

Been sick since Saturday night, been on the Nyquil and Dayquil too.

These workshops are a great way to spread diseases from one continent to another. :yayca:

It must have been that damn hooka..... oh well getting better :dead:

[daarken]

yup, i got sick too...and now my gf is sick. mwahahahah

[insane visions]

Im still fucking sick...WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanna cuddle or something :S

[WillSchnevel]

i'll cuddle.

[Carnifex]

aw yeah,cuddling rules.:tihi:

[inpho]

Still suffering from the cough .... Cant wait to do it all again!!

[Jessica Hook]

Dang I got sick too. My face won't stop leaking, and I got the kind of hacking cough that even street bums would flee from. Yarg. Atleast I'm back in 80 degree weather, I can suck in some vitamins from the sun! :teeth:

[blankslatejoe]

got sick too, just a cold and it was only bad for a coupla days.... but figured I should add myself to the statistics here.

feel better everyone!

[|NTeRN]

OMG, I so hope I had nothing to do with it! :(
i dunno... i slept like 5 feet from ya and im still fine....

i wonder who did cause it tho... anyone get a lil friendly with a bum on the way to the workshop? :dur:

[RETEP]

no sniffles or coughs out of me yet :tihi:

[Sam0s]

damn quiznos :zzz:

[Pontemonti]

I got it too :[ It was pretty bad on Tuesday evening...but since then I'm slowly getting better. Still coughing, though.

[Sapphire]

Ditto, I got sick right at the end...

[fukifino]

i dunno... i slept like 5 feet from ya and im still fine....

Oh yeah, huh! I don't think anyone in our room got sick. *phew*

Still...I feel for everyone else. Sounds like this thing is super nasty. Really sucks that everyone had to end the workshop like that. (Or in some cases endure part of the workshop sick.) :(

[Slash]

Im guessing you guys didn`t consume enough alcohol. Alcohol kill germs! Exept Marko, he seems to be a quite resilient specimen. But then again, he`s germAN, and i guess there`s a difference.


Oh my! I`m being silly again. Another side effect of alcohol..

Tee-hee!

[Jaymz]

I'm finally better. Took me a week. That workshop destroyed me...haha.

[Carnifex]

my feever has finally dissappeared today, so tomorrow i get to see the "outer world" again. or rather,my office space.
mymymy...what a blast.

[Monkeybot]

My fever just broke!!! :teeth: Now I'm covered in sweat, and my back aches from laying in bed all weekend :dad:

[hifen]

hello everyone, before 2 month i had bird flu. when i was ill that time i have heard about flu shots due to mostly human died with flu shots. so i was very thoughtful. while my freind told me about Relenza,relenza is a drugs for flu infection,i had used relenza and i got success on flu shots. if you have infected by bird flu then you could get more information about treatment of flu...
