Oy. Ok, I've decided participating in a lollypop orgy was not the smartest thing I've ever done, speaking bacteriologically. Anyway, too late now, I'm sick as a dog, with some of the most alien looking stuff evacuating from my not inconsiderable nasal passages.
Time to hit the conference this morning, with zero sleep, doped up on antihistamines, epinephedrine, and whatever else is in the Sudafed cocktail.
