To any player who was hanging out at my house after Festivo and sat on the bed in our living room, you may want to wash whatever clothes you were wearing that night and whatever clothing they've been in contact with. I just found out this morning that the mattress we brought in from the curb (to replace the one that was borrowed and never returned, which you may have heard me bitching about) was originally thrown out because it had bedbugs. This may not be a huge problem because it was outside for probably about 10 or 12 hours and they might have died from the cold, and I haven't actually seen any bugs, but just to make sure, you should probably check yourselves for bites and wash whatever you were wearing - preferably in hot water, and if you're really concerned, soak it first.
I'm really sorry about this and had absolutely no way of knowing what was up with this at the time - but because they don't travel very fast, it's likely that everything will be OK.
EDIT:
Also, I think someone left a rather holey pair of jeans in our living room - they're light blue and waist 34, length 30. If they're yours, either I can mail them to you, or you'll just have to come back to KoNY to claim them. Your choice. ;-D Don't worry, they were not near the bed with the bugs.
EDIT #2:
It looks like the bug trouble has passed - we've washed everything that was in contact with the mattress in hot water, and talked to facilities - they said the mattress was really not that bad and probably salvageable anyway. Nobody has seen any bugs and nobody has been bitten. So it's possible that our problems are over - with this, anyway, so feel free to come hang out after next game with the knowledge that you won't have to be quarantined!
