All the news shows have been talking about an outdoor concert yesterday at RIR (Richmond International Speedway), you know like right on the asphalt. It was hosted by a local country station (Alabama was the headliner). 51,000 people showed up and were not allowed to bring in water. The vendors ran out of water (of course they had plenty of beer) and over 200 people were treated for heat exhaustion, several were taken to the hospital...
A talk show host from another radio station (who has been calling and harrassing people with their sprinklers on in the afternoons) made a good point. Just for PR's sake anybody with any sense would've headed to the closest store(s) and emptied the shelves of all the water and handed it out for free. They're gonna have to make some sort of apology, if not more.
