Cell phone woes at Winnipeg Folk Festival

That time of year again where a bunch of my college roommates get together.
One day our spot in the stage area was in full sun, maybe 85 degrees or so. I had my phone in my lap with the extra battery pack attached to it charging the phone back up. Fell asleep for 15 minutes or so. When I woke up the phone told me two apps had overheated and shut down. Then the notice came that the battery pack was too hot to charge the phone. Moved to a somewhat shady area and both recovered in a half hour.
Friday night walking back from the main stage to the parking lot my cell phone fell out of the holster, velcro had died. I wasn't worried about getting it back because we are in Canada and at a folk festival. It wasn't at lost and found at 10:30 the next morning but at 1:30 it showed up. At least a dozen iPhones were waiting to be reclaimed.
Got a text on Friday that I was supposed to travel back to New York by Wednesday, I was flying from Minneapolis to Lansing on Tuesday, luckily on Tuesday the date was pushed back to Thursday so at least I got some rest before being thrown back into the fray.
