Hi Bernard,

If I read your story ans the most obvious thing to me is that you just 
had a rotten mushroom in your soup. Not only there are thousands of 
mushrooms out there that deliver various psychedelic or poisonous 
effects. Also lots of 'normal' mushrooms can make you pretty sick if you 
eat them when they are not fresh anymore but already in state of 
disintegration. Every year there are even some people who die from this. 
It can also give you serious brain damage. (if I read your joke this 
might already be the case ;-)). So I blame the cook.

I have attended about 15 T3 events and never experienced people that 
crazy that they will spoil your food or drinks. So I think the above is 
the logical explanation (so spoke Dr.Spock).

You will get you bed for sure. Last year we had to wait till a month 
upfront and then got four beds.

Ciao, cu there,
Sander

And a happy 2010 for everybody!
