[user38971]

Thomas Wahlroos had dressed warmly for the event today, expecting it to be in the Amazon room, where the temperature tends to drop to artic-like conditions after midnight. Upon arrival, he was told his seat was out in the Players Pavilion. Trying to adjust to the heat in the Players Pavilion, Wahlroos asked us if there was any way we could help. We were happy to oblige.
