anouther thread got me wondering...

if you had the Philly Flu, did you consume a draft beer or soda that weekend?

Good chance the lines were filthy from sitting there for months/years between use?

just a thought. i only had one beer one night at the venue.

    I had the Philly Flu but did not drink at the Spectrum - just the pre parties :)

    Coming up on 2 years!!!!

    I had the flu and didn't drink inside, only parking lot beers for me that week.

    The Spectrum had been used pretty frequently leading up to those shows, so I'm thinking the lines weren't THAT bad :?

    I kind of thought it had to do with walking back to the hotel in the rain. I was sick as hell on night 4... but rocked my ass off.

    Worst flu I ever had; my body was in so much pain and I had such a high temperature that I really thought I was going to be checking out. Would have been worth it I suppose :D

    I think I did cause when I came back home, a day or 2 later I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Passed out & couldn't breath. My lungs were ammoniafied. My asthma was catching up to me in Philly that whole week though. Damn you lungs! :x

    Only Pre show drank. And missed the entire next week of work. I cilould no move. My theory...whatever that sticky shit was on the floor contained a bug that spread with each one of our steps.

    yep! the only way to test us again to see if we are better and stronger is to have another 4 shows in 5 nights again. Let it be written, let it be done!!

    All is well, in fact I've not had a sick day in almost 3 years. That super bug was a cure all
