    SRSLY - I must have shaken one to many hands - I may not be as sick as some of the others, but my tummy is not right. Perhaps it was that Flash Mash Meetup at Austin Airport that pushed me over the edge?

    One will never know!

    I think we should have taken a better picture of you and scoble. Had I known it was going to end up on mashable anyhow, lol...

    I've been fine so far. People, you should be smart like me and not make out with anybody during SXSW. What is this, junior high?
  • Michael Cummings · 1 year ago
    no one made out with anyone at SXSW. What are you talking about?

    Maybe it was the first Twitter transmitted disease?

    I think I escaped the worst of it though.

    Wanna know my secret? Emergen-C, Dad's Root Beer Cough Drops, Whiskey, & Peppermints.

    One thing for sure... It was all worth it!

    dude in the gray suit in the first pic looks cute.
    My co-worker went to SXSW. She said if you played iphone or macbook punch buggy, everyone would be dead ... or severely hurt.

    So far I'm fine. But following the spread on my Twitter friends I expect to be impacted tomorrow. And here was I overdosing on Vitamin C and Echinacea to avoid colds, not exepcting stomach bugs.

    Wishing everybody quick recovery - those get togethers with people from all over the world each with a different set of virusses in them is a bitch.

    [usually I get knocked down with severe cold every single time, *knockonwood* this time it only seems a bit of the voice as everyone else.]

    My guess is it is iphone and apple related, you should check that. ;)

    I was sicker before SXSW started, and less so towards the end. Guess I rubbed it off on all you people, muahaha!

    Hope everyone gets well soon :) Chicken soup, sleep and bad tv will fix it.
