Did the EMT mention that all of those people that fainted were probably tourists like yourself?? I bet they weren't drinking enough water either.
I thought this conversation was over, but obviously you want to keep biting. Go back and actually READ what I wrote. The EMT mentioned it was not just tourists. He said it was a particularly bad summer, but Florida that time of year is rough in general. And this situation occurred in the morning, not long after we were hydrated (certainly less than 30 minutes). I was there. I know all the painful details. I really don't understand all the hostility from you in this thread.
Regardless, I guess we won't have to worry about you attending the event. No sweat off my back.
Again, wtf?? Sorry my dislike of brutally hot weather offends you so deeply. I never thought expressing my feelings about said topic would result in such vicious and rude reactions from fellow board members. You (and the other guy who lashed out) act like I shot your dog or something. Sorry I somehow insulted your "state pride" or some such nonsense.
For the record, I will most likely attend, since I have enjoyed the previous Celebrations. I'm not happy with the location, but I'm willing to give it a go. Sorry to "worry you."
