Wish I could help, but the only time I've performed while being sick, I was able to do so within the confines of my own home.

For those of you who weren't aware, both Steve D'Monster Christmas videos on YouTube I did while I was sick... you can't tell with him lip-syncing to "Do They Know it's Christmas", but you can sort of hear it in his "holiday message".

Puppeteering while sick...

Talk about being stuffed up.

Take care not to pup-chuck.

I feel your pain Chris. I'm just now getting over a nasty head cold myself, plus I'm recovering from having wisdom teeth extracted. Did I mention that I've also been on-call at work (last week & this week), my mother-in-law is in the hospital, and we have a house guest (brother-in-law from NY down to see his sick mom.)

Calgon...take me away!
