I'm beginning to lose feeling in my fingers. It's been over 31 hours since THON started. That's like watching almost one and a half seasons of '24' back-to-back. Spirits are high on the dance floor though and the dancing is still raging on strong. But it is becoming apparent that some of the following symptoms of sleep deprivation are beginning to take effect:

• brain's problem solving greatly diminishes
• possible hallucinations
• depression
• irritability
• slowed reaction times
• slurred speech
• tremors

But Matt is trying not to keep his mind on such things.

While on the floor, I ran into Rachel Tsupros, a dancer for the independent organization A-7. The following is the short conversation we had about A-7, what it means to dance at THON, and quality vintage suits. Read on for the full interview.

I thought I'd take a short walk-a-bout through the craziness of the THON floor to pick out some of the finer details that are difficult to see from up here in the press box. Here's some of what I saw:

Characters Sighted:

A jester, The Cat in the Hat, The Geico Gecko, Men in Black (AKA THON child Eli Sibler and his father), a clown, and Lady Gaga.

Items found/stumbled upon:

Foam sword, squirt pistol, smiley-face balloon, butterfly head-band, Iron Man bouncy ball.
