    I thought about driving but 2024 eclipse goes through Ohio so I'll just wait. Not worth driving 5 hours each way for 2mins of an eclipse.

    I'm scared, hold me..

    Well it's kinda cool I guess, the glasses are bank for a piece of plastic and some card board, unless you are in the direct path like in Oregon it won't be full.. I didn't buy the glasses and I'll take a quick peak with the naked eye anyways.. No biggie..

    It will be kind cool if it goes dark for an hour... That's my take on it all.. Kinda over hyped if you ask me..

    If in the mood I may smoke a spliff and listen to Pink Floyd Dark Side of the moon during the eclipse..

    You drove to Illinois? I thought you lived in LA lakerboy?.. Hell of a drive to see the Eclipse... Oregon would have been closer for driving purposes...

    2 hour count down..

    We only get 70 percent coverage of the sun here in Los Angeles, Cali.. ... Plus we got marine layer by the beach.. I ain't seeing shiiiit..

    We had idiots paying $15+ for those cheap cardboard glasses that they were giving away a few weeks ago. Supposed to be 85% up here so what do we get... thick clouds and rain. What a waste!

    You can do amazing things with the camera iris - I'm sure they're "adding" to the darkness effect for drama.
