"Con crud is the general term for any illnesses picked up during a convention . . . . It's entirely common to leave Dragon*Con with a cold, the flu, a norovirus, or Swine Flu . . . . The resultant illness tends to be called con crud." -from a random website
I caught the Con crud. It was very interesting--I distinctly remember this--it was Saturday night around 1145pm. My friend Don and I were walking to the parking garage so we could go to our places of residence and sleep for the night. While leaving the Hilton hotel (or was it the Hyatt?), I felt a sore throat come on all of a sudden. One second it was there, and the next second it was not.
At that moment I knew that I had it: The infamous Con Crud. I managed to escape its powers in both 2009 and 2010, but alas, I was powerless to it this year. I felt not so good Monday, and I felt not good at all on Tuesday. It's now Wednesday, and I still am sneezing and coughing and stuff, but I feel okay other than that. I'm really good at doing not much when I'm sick, so I am recovering fast. Yay.
