I think the water bottles and small umbrellas are a good idea. Also, if people are grouping together, take turns in line. Take breaks in close by hotel rooms. Get out of the sun and give your body a chance to cool down if you can.

A bit of advice: I've heard it can get pretty humid back east during the summer. If that's the case, then for those who've never been to the west, the heat here is very different. Los Angeles and especially Vegas have desert climates, which means that it gets very hot and very dry here during the summer. Temperatures in L.A. have reached up to and over 100 (Fahrenheit). The sun's rays can be very penetrating here, so sun block and water is a MUST.

San Francisco can get pretty hot in the summer too. San Diego is also know to have temps to well over a 100 during the summer. So yeah...please use common sense and be prepared. No matter which show you go to, please keep yourself hydrated and wear sunblock! Getting sunburned sucks and it can be serious.

I also recommend checking out weather.com a few days before arriving to the show. It's pretty useful in terms of getting an idea how the weather may be that day (it's pretty accurate for my area).

Much VAMPS-love,
