At least the folks in the Folklife Festival are coming from Mexico and other warm places. In previous years those people from Wales, Scotland, and Bhutan nearly died. One year at the Potomac Celtic festival, poor Andy Stewart, just off the plane from Scotland, had two big fans on him while performing and still cried, "How do you people LIVE in this climate?!" The sad thing is that it was only 82° and we were all walking around with big smiles saying, "Isn't this great? It's not hot the way it usually is!"
(I realize that "had two big fans on him" could be misinterpreted. Try to resist the impulse.)
