oh man, you live in edwardsville, my friends lives down there, right next to shenannigans!! (might actually be considered glen carbon) I was down there over the summer at pointfest 2.
Try taking you're weather and subtracting 10 degrees and adding 100mph of wind and thats what the douche bags up here are dealing with right now. theres like 20 tents outside the best buy by my work.
