Phoenix WARPED Tour 2008

That is WARPED TOUR.  Spelled it wrong on last update (sorry).
 
WOW what a show.  Cricket Pavilion was packed.  So many bands, so many tattoos and face metal.  Totally! 
 
Typhoon Cooling was there, right in front of the main entrance to the Pavilion main stage.  As a band would finish, all the mosh pit people would come streaming out.  There we were, waiting with our cool mist blowing out under our easy-up tents.  The temperature on the black top was measured at 139 degrees F, in front of the mist of the Typhoon Cooler it was 89 degrees F.  A far cry under the mist. 
 
People were carried off due to heat stroke, and I can tell you it was hot.  Then about 4:30 a monsoon came in, cooling it down a little and raising the humidity factor by 50% (dew point was measured at 58).
 
For this type of function they should have 30 Typhoon Coolers set up.  This was a dangerous heat.  I had my wide rim hat, sunblock, long sleeve light COTTON shirt, that you can soak down and put on to cool down.  I stayed in the shade and watched the Typhoon Cooling trailer for rowdies.
 
Typhoon Cooling saved many people from total heat exhaustion.
 
Cricket did have a slip-n-slide to get wet in, and some boys running around with Water Guns shooting people with water.  But shade was slim pickings, and many people were literally sick from overheating.
 
Well, maybe next year you'll see more of our trailers out there to cool you down.
 
Later,
Team Typhoon
