Some keen readers might obverse that I still haven't written anything about Wordstock 3 up until this date. Why? Well, there's a good reason why, in fact, there are several.
First off, a good synopsis of Wordstock 3 can be found here. Retelling these events is trite in my opinion, plus I'm too lazy to even outline a six day camp.
Secondly, my recollections of Wordstock are pretty hazy. I know that I moshed wildly, saw a lot of people, lost at every sport I played, and acted in a stage play. Actually, I do remember the toilet stalls pretty well, which brings me to my third point.
Lastly, I was sick for the entire duration of Wordstock 3. I could keep very little food down, therefore I was undernourished, therefore I lacked strength and energy, therefore I wasn't my usual happy self, therefore I didn't socialize as much, therefore I did not enjoy Wordstock 3 to the full. All for a damn virus.
On the bright side, the concerts rocked, the nurse was nice, people liked my acting in the stage play, and the attention I got because of my condition was pleasant. See, there's good in everything.

slight error there dude...it was for six days.
And just when I thought I had prevailed over you anonymous cowards, a straggler comes to reaffirm your dying existence.
Hello.
I corrected my mistake.
Sorry to hear u had the flu at the time. No wonder u lost at every sport u played! --I had the impression u had such a blast at Wordstock, u just didn't know where to start as far as writing about it. Great attitude, though, seeing the good in everything.
BTW, how did u manage to jump up & down so much & act in that stage play when u were sick?
Well, I'm not very good at sports, except for basketball. I also did well at volleyball, which I believe was the only time I won.
Simply put, some days were better than others. During the concerts or while on stage, I kept on going despite the sick feeling in my stomach. I loved the music, I enjoyed acting, so I kept on moving. But during the last two days it was too much, I had to sit in a corner of the stage during a concert night. I also spent most of the prom night in a corner of the room.
HAH! So u did win at some sport!
But yeh, that must've been tough the last couple days. Yet, take heart, fellow! There will be more concerts & proms, or at least, uh, dance/fellowship things where u get to dress spiffy & get jiggy (I haven't yet seen the DVDs, so I'm guessing that's what the prom was). And it will be all the sweeter the next time around for the lack of the virus!
EMAN!!
I miss you oh so too much.
Write me..yes? :)
