9:30 Club - A Sick Building?

[Chip Chanko]

This used to happen to me all the time in college. I  had chronic respiratory infections from shows. This happened after most any shows I went to, though (black cat, metro/lounge ax in chicago, basement shows), so I don't think it's anything to do with 9:30.
 
 I think they were caused by constant lack of sleep and not drinking enough water, plus I used to jump around a lot more at shows (esp at black cat) and so my breathing would have been heavier...much more smoke in the lungs than now when I stand next to Kosmo with my arms crossed.

 But (once again) I woke up with sinus infection after last night's show at 9:30 Club. No surprise really. I've been going to 9:30 club for years and I always wind up with a sinus infection or raspy cough within two days of being there.
 
 Anybody else experience this?

Who's your concert buddy? Avid smoker? Where do you hang? In the confines of the crowd downstairs?
 It's the smoke. Recurring infection, should check w/ your doc.

Non-smoker here. Concert buddy doesn't smoke either.
 No recurring infection or anything. Only happens after 9:30 shows. I'll bring one of those white masks next time and tell everybody I'm being retro-raver.

you could tell everyone you have SARS, and then you'd have the added benefit of increased personal space!
 
 I agree with whoever said it was a function of being in proximity with so many people.  This happens on airplanes, too.  You're basically breathing air that's just been breathed out by whatever diseased person is nearby.  You might as well be french kissing them.  And if someone cuts the cheese, then you're essentially inhaling atomized poo.

All those old buildings are sick because their HVAC systems are many decades old and filled with mold.  I'm sure that a new system was dropped in 9:30 when it opened in the new location what...10 years ago?  
 
 Not to worry...

if they did, you know that people would still smoke them.  if cigarettes were twenty dollars a pack, people would still smoke them.  people are dumb.  dave matthews agrees.

"He wants to make the warnings on the packs bigger. Yeah! He wants the whole front of the pack to be the warning. Like the problem is we just haven't noticed yet. Right? Like he's going to get his way and all of the sudden smokers around the world are going to be going, "Yeah, Bill, I've got some cigarettes.. HOLY SHIT! These things are bad for you! Shit, I thought they were good for you! I thought they had Vitamin C in them and stuff!" You fucking dolt! Doesn't matter how big the warnings are. You could have cigarettes that were called the warnings. You could have cigarrets that come in a black pack, with a skull and a cross bone on the front, called tumors and smokers would be lined up around the block going, "I can't wait to get my hands on these fucking things! I bet you get a tumor as soon as you light up! Numm Numm Numm Numm Numm" Doesn't matter how big the warnings are or how much they cost. Keep raising the prices, we'll break into your houses to get the fucking cigarettes, ok!? They're a drug, we're addicted, ok!? Numm Numm Numm Numm Numm "

Right on for Airborne.  I use it after a friend in L.A. recommended it.  I was skeptical, thought he was being all new-agey, but I finally starting taking it and it works!

right on for airbourne . . . isn't that a new "all girl, pussy power group" from new york?

[ggw]

Why does the Airborne ad make repeated mention of the fact that it was developed by a second grade teacher?
 
 Is that supposed to make the product more appealing?
