I wanna go...

11/17/2010 11:16:21 PM

then do it.

11/17/2010 11:17:00 PM

Count me in!

11/17/2010 11:18:00 PM

no, but maybe my husband is.

11/17/2010 11:24:12 PM

So i was out in Cary and either saw a meteor or a falling star about an hour ago. Either way it was pretty cool

11/17/2010 11:30:15 PM

Where is a good spot to watch around Cary? I'll be up all night anyway, might as well check it out.

11/17/2010 11:36:14 PM

Didn't know these were happening. Might have to stay up to see these now...

11/17/2010 11:39:02 PM

I was thinking Shelly Lake... but Lochmere pier would suit me as well...

11/17/2010 11:40:19 PM

geez I miss these. Stupid work at the buttcrack of dawn

WELL WHICH ONE?!?!

11/17/2010 11:47:01 PM

Hmm I'm close to Schenck forest (near Carter Finley)...they have some pretty huge open fields for the NCSU horses out there...any takers?

11/18/2010 12:00:21 AM

I want to!

11/18/2010 12:11:50 AM

Coffee is ready. Weather is GO!

11/18/2010 12:15:35 AM

damn this place would be awesome if there weren't so many fucking lights in the courtyard

I'm too lazy to jump in the ride and check this out

11/18/2010 12:16:54 AM

I am very tempted to go check it out, even if it means just from my backyard. I get a pretty good non light polluted sky to the east from there

11/18/2010 12:19:11 AM

Well, if anyone in the area around campus wants to meet up out there, I'm thinking about sleeping for a little while and then getting my ass up to go out to Schenck around 4ish...

There's plenty of space to park out there, and the road that runs up in there goes right beside the horse pastures, so it might work to just park along the road and watch it from there.

11/18/2010 12:22:35 AM

Sure I'll meet you at four in the middle of nowhere, except:

11/18/2010 12:26:56 AM

Ok.. still wanting to know who is game for this...

11/18/2010 1:33:03 AM

game for a cult procession?

11/18/2010 1:38:50 AM

I'll be out there duck hunting. Should be a pretty cool backdrop while freezing my ass off in a swamp

11/18/2010 1:44:50 AM

I think a Meteor just hit my house. Or a big acorn. I can't tell.

just went out to see if there were any early ones. It was kinda scary in the woods and there was some animal growling at me 50ft away (possum/dog???)

got to the driveway and all I saw was a airplane. Then I realized I had already taken my medicine and the stars were kinda moving too much on thier own.

Now it's sleepy time. let me know how they are if anyone sees them.

11/18/2010 1:49:47 AM

I would like some of that medicine.

11/18/2010 1:51:43 AM

It was probably medicinal mushrooms.

11/18/2010 1:53:53 AM

Again, I would like some of that medicine.

11/18/2010 1:54:36 AM

lunesta maybe?

11/18/2010 1:55:07 AM

^^ lol, you'll probably get some good PMs.

11/18/2010 1:59:31 AM

Hey guys, when's the next Haley's comet?


I have this cousin Marcus who saw one he said it blew his mind I want to make sure I never ever miss out on a Haley's comet.

11/18/2010 7:41:48 AM

Something like 50 years.

11/18/2010 9:17:17 AM

I saw a meteor this morning. Driving the boat across the lake to go duck hunt and one lit across the sky. It looked like a shooting star but bigger and brighter. It was cool for like 10 seconds, then I got over it.

11/18/2010 12:18:53 PM

found out what I heard last night was a big six point buck. no wonder I was scurred.

11/18/2010 2:13:35 PM

How do you know that? Especially it's antler size?
