After the rain hit this evening, the parking lot at Blaine's Pub where a line emerged for the final performance of Dolly Shine, flooded quickly.

Also, LIVE! passed by the Bill Aylor Sr. Memorial RiverStage at 9 p.m., and things looked quiet. As we passed, we noticed Tejano superstar AJ Castillo's tour bus. The Tejano performer was set to perform at the RiverStage.

Randy Rogers remains hopeful the rainy weather will pass for his performance outdoors.
