Northern Voice 2007 — The Moose Flu Epidemic
So Saturday night I said goodbye to my friends both new and old at Northern Voice and headed to Starbucks to do some work. This was a mistake. I felt awful. My head was hurting, my nose was stuffed, and concentrating on anything was incredibly difficult. I went home and slept for the next 12 hours. Unfortunately waking up didn’t make life any easier. I lay in bed for the rest of the day too sick even to make to the dining hall for dinner. After another restless night, I finally left my bed Monday afternoon to go work out at the gym. I am now have a cold and all the medication I’m taking isn’t working as well as it should.
I thought I was alone in my pain. That maybe my immune system was all messed up. But, thanks to the blogosphere (darren via Brian), I learned that this _moose flu_ infected at least 20 people.
In spite of all this, I loved Northern Voice this year. It rocked. It helped that it was on campus and in the most beautiful building on campus. I can’t wait to go again next year.

Sorry to hear you got sick at NV/MC. I had a great time. I hope the virus doesn’t get me too!!!
hee hee…. “moose flu!” I’m really shocked that I didn’t catch this flu (or at least some flu) - between 2 days at Northern Voice, my roommate being sick and her best friend who is visiting us being really, really sick. My current theory is that the cold I’ve had for the last two weeks that just won’t go away has set up camp in my body and is fighting off the flu viruses of everyone around me. (knock on wood!)
Yes, Beth. I think I found new meaning to “the moose is loose” phrase.
