No, gaming conference, scheduled to coincide with the solar eclipse, and hopefully awesome auroras.

Solar eclipse? I envy you. Total? I saw a partial about 20 years ago here in Pennsylvania. The shadows cast by the leaves in the trees made weird shadows, like crescent moon shape and the light was a weird reddish hue also.

No... We miss totality by about 50 miles.

However unless you want to stand on a rock in the middle of the north Atlantic in March
however it's the best place in the world to see the eclipse.

It's entirely possible that it will be dumping 6 inches of snow on us at the time... but as
I'm going their anyway, it's an opportunity not to be missed.

To make absolutely sure you see the eclipse, just rent a hot air balloon, get above the clouds....

I'd land 500 miles away in the middle of the Atlantic.
