Jethro Tull 02-19-2008, 06:22 PM I'll be at our club's observatory watching it. It will last for a couple of hours, check it out if the weather in your area cooperates. Metal Soldier 02-19-2008, 11:07 PM If the weather holds I may take my girl out of town to see it. DOMINION 02-20-2008, 12:06 AM I'll be at work but show times EST are 8:43/20:43 - 12:09/00:09 West Coast times are 5:43/17:43 - 9:09/21:09 Did I get that right?

Or is it the solar? No, the lunar eclipse turns you into a werewolf. Or causes impotence, I forget. Pink Flea 02-20-2008, 06:18 PM I thought it turned you into a vampire?!!
