Really the only bad luck round con time happened last year.  Got to the hotel on Thursday to help set up.  By the time we finished, there were no beds left in the room, so I decided to attempt to sleep in the tub (door locked so noone snuck in and turned on the shower).  I finally got situated and reasonably comfortable and started to doze off, when our next door neighbors got to their room and were extremely loud (vents go straight through the rooms, can't see anything thankfully, but you hear everything).  I was promptly roused and tried to tune them out and they even started to calm down.  It was almost working...

Until the tub started to flood.  Water seeped up from the drain and by this time (my only solace is that, judging by the sounds of their reactions, it happened in their bathroom too), it was four o clock, so I decided to forgo trying to sleep in favor of hanging out with the start of the registration line.  So Friday was spent dead tired since I was sick and hadn't been sleeping anyway.
Ugh, that would explain why you looked like death warmed over on Friday when I met you. You looked much healthier on Saturday and Sunday

Yeah, I was told by alot of staffers I looked alot better after Friday.  I think the 14 bottles of Emergen C (it's an acquired taste) over the weekend may have contributed.

I had someone give me some energy drink that made me sick, I think it was called Spike, I warned people on this forum a while back when I got it...I was laid up in my hotel room feeling like I was a humming bird going crazy

I think it's safe to assume that a side effect of an energy drink might be an abundance of unnatural energy....

Yeah...  Spike was the one that made the news a few years ago.  The one that a couple of kids died from.  Granted tehy probably had too much, but even so.

Yeah, that was back in 2006, I just remember warning people on the forums and also considering that Spike did make the news, there is a warning on the can that says to only take half...
