Who got hit with norovirus at Arisia?

My husband and I did. As a friend said in response, "Noro as con crud? Sweet fancy Moses, what a nightmare scenario."

We're over the worst of it now, but we're going to stay another night at the hotel so that we don't have to rush to pack up and load out when we're not feeling so well.

ETA: My aim here is not to point fingers at anyone (I'd have to point the finger at myself if I were, as my exposure likely occurred before the con started and hit with full force on Saturday; I know for a fact that several people got it from me, about which I feel awful). Norovirus is incredibly contagious and is currently endemic in numerous communities. The hotel needs to know for public health purposes, and the con needs to know so that greater precautions could perhaps be taken next year to mitigate the spread. Also, this post has helped at least one person identify what happened to hir, so it's turned into a bit of a public service as well.

Panel #310, "The Relevance of Livejournal"

[bobquasit.livejournal.com]

I promised to post something here about this panel so that everyone who attended can share their LJ identities...so here's the post. Comment if you'd like to possibly add panelists or audience members to your flist.

I'm bobquasit here on LJ. In real life, I was the only bald panelist, probably outweighed the rest of the panel combined, and (from the audience perspective) was seated second from the left. It was a great panel; thanks to one and all!

Re: "Fan Etiquette: How Not to Be That Fan" panel

It seems that I misremembered the actual title of the column I mentioned in the panel—see the bottom of my journal post for the link.

Good panel, everyone!

Lost and Found?

Sorry to bug you all with this, but I have no idea who else to ask. My daughter left two pairs of shoes at the hotel. Who do I contact about getting them back? Someone told me "security" and gave me a number that rang and rang. The Arisia website has no information on security, or lost and found. Should I just contact the hotel? Thanks.

<b>Edit: *sigh* Never mind. I made the mistake of believing the boyfriend when he told me the car was completely unpacked.</b>
