Stay Up All Night Night: When was the last time you stayed up all (or most of) the night on purpose (e.g. not because you were tending to an ill child or suffering from insomnia)?

Preparing for a redeye flight during college, best I recall. Having to leave for the airport at 3am, the logical course of action seemed to be to stay up, catch a cab, and then sleep on the plane, thus working around my nervousness about flying.

I think it was for our flight to Japan in 2007 for Worldcon, the first leg of which (PDX-SEA) left so early that the best way to make it work was to stay in a hotel near PDX, go leave my vehicle with a co-worker (he drove me back to the hotel), and stay the night. But we were running so late that I got maybe and hour of sleep and I think Lisa got none at all.

Prior to that, it would have been a convention where I was running the con newsletter and where I got so wound up that I was awake all night working on the next morning's edition. But I can't remember whether it was BayCon or (the earlier incarnation, unrelated to the one that just folded) SiliCon, because both conventions were at the (then) Red Lion San Jose and felt very much alike, and also I had been doing both conventions' at-con newsletters, so they all run together in my mind.
