Pepsi Smash...

Pepsi Smash was in Tampa (about 1.5 hours from Orlando)and we were supposed to be there to check in at 5:30 pm. Our trip over was complicated with torrential down pouring of typical Florida rain. Cristina was driving and the poor girl was stressed out. We ended up getting to the Ford Amphitheater around 6:20 pm. Thankfully, due to the rain they hadn't started but it was already pretty full.

At first we were kind of far back, since we weren't there for check-in. Lifehouse was the first act to go on. They were decent but I am not into their music and didn't know their songs except "Hanging By A Moment". I was pretty excited when they played that.

Fall Out Boy played after Lifehouse. I have never seen them live but I have heard a lot of negatives about their shows. Honestly, they were awesome. I was really surprised. They had awesome stage presence and the lead singer has a great voice.

I forgot to smile in this picture but the blonde lady behind us didn't. :)

Cristina is adorable even after buckets of rain drenching her.

Throughout the show I was constantly being shoved forward and by the time Rhianna went on stage I was right up front. Unfortunately my phone died before this but they were taping the entire thing and it aired on VH1 so I don't have to worry about remembering anything. I mean, not that I would because... I mean, it is Fall Out Boy, Rhianna and Lifehouse. They're not my favorite artists/bands or anything but I am still glad that I went. I have to say that I do like Fall Out Boy more now.

Anyways, Rhianna was entertaining. She sang the songs the way she recorded them. Her jacket was super cool. I don't know why her dancers were wearing Spanx though.

The only difference between that picture and Rhianna's dancer's costumes were the bras. Her dancers wore red bras.

I must say that she is absolutely beautiful though. She was about 5 feet from me and I doubt that they have to airbrush her very much because she is such a pretty girl.

Anyways, we stopped at a gas station on the way home and Cristina was heavily hit on by a man in a Cowboys jacket. It was pretty hilarious. He offered to make her a sandwich at his house. I mean... what? LOL! We then took the hike home, dropped V-ron at home and grabbed a bite to eat. I am going to bed now.

Also, Josh is a babe and it is still pouring outside.

The End.
