It's just a popularity contest, Bethie, and all the "popular" players always steal the show, so don't worry about Vinny not making it. You're still his true fan, and that's all that matters.
Sorry you're feeling so bad! It's terrible just to be sick, but when you have to keep up with all of your work and social stuff, as well, it's not very fun. And the heat rarely helps. :rolleyes:
