Man, it was nasty everywhere. I was in the front row through the first two acts, then my friend passed out. We sat in the back for Gnarls Barkley where there was actually a little air. The EMTs said people were dropping like flies.

Anyway, that Janelle girl was awesome. In my opinion she was the highlight of the evening, if only for her immense energy.

this could have been a better show if it wasnt 110 degrees in the place, but regardless, still an awesome show.
