The time I was supposed to be on VH1 but I wasn't

So today I went to the Pepsi Smash Super Bowl Bash at the Ford Amphitheater. The line-up: Lifehouse, Fall Out Boy, and Rihanna. Hosted by Jerry O'Connell, with appearances by some random football players. Since this was going to be live and on VH1, everyone had to be dressed in "club wear" and look super cute, and whatever. They obviously didn't plan on it raining. Long story short, it poured. I am scared of rain at night, in case you didn't know that. TERRIFIED of it. So I started shaking really bad, basically crying, and Amber as running around looking like a wet baby.

Oh, and the show was pretty sweet. It was neat to see how they actually taped it. If you watched the show on TV, it was FOB, Lifehouse, and then Rihanna, when in actuality, it was Lifehouse, FOB, and then Rihanna. Lifehouse was better than I thought they'd be, and I was surprised to find out I
actually knew a bunch of their songs. FOB was great, of course. Sorry, I am biased in this situation. It was 100% weird to not have Saturday played at the end of thier set, let alone, not see them headline. Rihanna was so so so so great. Really, I was hoping she's just sing live and be good. She totally exceeded my expectations. Her set was all singles so I didn't feel lost, and she is SO pretty in person. Being about 15 feet from her...crazy awesome. Thank you Pepsi for this (seriously) once in a lifetime concert.
