Unhappy engine broke :(

well guys, it's true, the engine went ca-poot. Well, at least for the time being.

I had driven about 60 miles with the windows down to go get my g/f and her sister at the airport. They didn't want the windows down, so i turned on the air. Drove for about 4 mins or so, and the windows started to fog up. I turned on the defrost with the air conditioning on(odd that it fogged to begin with) when about 15 secs later, the engine died. I looked at the gauges, every light seemed to be on, 0 RPM, and the engine temperature was at max hot. I glided to a stop, and popped the hood. Just really hot temps but no bad smells. The coolent was near the top at this time. Waited a few minutes for the temp to go down, but the engine will just crank over but won't start. Maybe not getting gas or air? When it cooled off, the coolent was down quite a bit. Had to get it towed on a flat bed to the subaru dealership(only a few blocks away as i found out). Subaru isn't open till Monday, so who knows what happened. Had to call the g/f's parents to drive about an hour to come get us.

Anyone know what might be wrong? The tow truck driver looked it over for a while, didn't look like any belts broke...well, at least none near the front. Any help would be great so i might know what to expect.
And yes, i had plenty of gas in the car. Thanks in advance.
