Other than damaging the air conditioner and making life miserable, the only drawback was we had to leave early yesterday because of a minor blackout in our area. Wednesday was so hot a local sports commentator passed out live on TV... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd7WBUj8PAs You can see the temperature in the studios was 37 C (98.6 F) but in the stadium, buried in concrete, it was said to be nearly 120 F.
good luck guys we'll be seeing you in boston and connecticut this year
