too bad it might be a cloudy night.

anyone got any good eclipse stories?

i went to hungary in 1999 for the full solar eclipse. 2 minutes and 22 seconds of total darkness - the stars came out and the birds completely freaked. watching the day turn into night that fast, then go back, was a mind-f*ck… almost as much as the 7-day electronic music festival that immediately followed it. probably one of the best times of my life.

I had an ex-girlfriend who drove a silver Mitsubishi Eclipse. I have stories, but they're not fit for a public messageboard. PM me. Hot, hot stuff.

I was in Putre, Chile, in 1994 for a total solar eclipse. One of the most amazing things I have ever seen. I talked with several foreign people that traveled around the world chasing total solar eclipses, and their stories were pretty incredible. I hope I have the opportunity to see another one in the future.

I once experienced a total eclipse of the heart.
