that's a first, I don't remember an outside portion

It was said that this was the first time that they have done this.

wth? I just out a long edit on that comment and it's gone

The phoenix con had a short section out side and that whole time I was think "how much longer till we are back in air Conditioning?"
I am happy that there was a nice crowd outside to cheer on the suiters, it's not very comfy in the sun.
but it is nice to see the sun pick up the colors and really make them shine.

I see they had an Ambulance on hand just incase.

With heat stroke being very real, I'll bet.

Oh crap. :-P

Wow what a view.
BTW i don't know why i love when i hear someone speaking in English is so sexie!

Yay, can you tell which is me? Heh, joking! Nice angle of the parade, a great idea indeed!
