great idea in practice, not so hot in execution. i try to give blood whenever i can, but that comes at the expense of eating well, drinking a shitton of fluids, being light-headed the rest of the day, and not drinking any booze. yeah, you heard me. it's hard enough to keep all that straight during a normal day; i can't imagine keeping myself in balance at a con.
That's really funny. Unfortunately, I'm one of those weirdos who passes out, without fail, every time they give blood. I can't imagine donating blood and then coping with everything going on.
@Nerddorkgeek: I got dizzy in the 7 line train to manhattan last summer(no air conditioner)and the only idea my dear and friend got to wake me up was ice freaking cold water.

No, it's not seeing the blood. It's the subsequent lack of it in my system that tends to make me fall over. ;)

@Curse_Lily: My psychic powers tell me that you have had experience with this sort of thing.
