It is snowing right now. Yes, snowing, and they are saying we are going to get four inches.

 Luckily, the snow did not start until just a few hours ago, which was great because My Coke Fest went off without a hitch. People starting gathering around 6:30 for some great concerts. Of course, the crowd was heavily favoring MSU, and even their local businesses are supporting their home team! The Anthem Blue Cross building put an "S" formation in their windows for everyone in the city to see.

 The temperatures dropped significantly throughout the day, but it didn't stop the thousands of people from coming to see music artists Janelle Monae, Gym Class Heroes, Staind and Fergie, with her surprise guest, Slash!

Tonight's concert was a little more rowdy than the past two days, as people pushed and shoved to get a good spot for the shows. Luckily security was at its best. All bundled up in coats, hats, and gloves, people sang along to the songs they knew and danced around to stay warm.

As soon as Fergie was done signing "Fergalicious", it started freezing rain and the place cleared out pretty quickly. We ran over to the hotel just in time to see Dick Vitale presenting Syracuse head coach Jim Boheim with a life-time achievement award.

We went over to a Coke party, where Janelle Monae preformed again in front of a much smaller crowd. Coca-Cola cupcakes were served and a good time was had by all!

I have not hit up Hoop City yet, so that is on my agenda for tomorrow, as well as the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME! Who will it be, Spartans or Tar Heels? Game time is set for 9:22 p.m.!
