Guess all diets are off now;) Forget the velcro. Time to party?If the event is credible, the celestial entertainment will be better than any silly party. I'm a big fan of watching meteor showers. Unfortunately, I was in San Diego for many of the really good ones over the past 10 years. The night and morning low clouds spoiled the show. The skies are usually clear and dark in the summer around this part of Idaho. Much better for viewing meteors and passing satellites. Watching the ISS pass over is pretty good as well.

Did you get to see the big Leoinid shower a few years back? It was the most amazing celestial event I've ever seen. Literally hundreds of big streaking meteors in the air at all times. I was spellbound for 8 hours. Everywhere I looked there were meteors. Saw lots of exploders. Simply amazing.
It prompted me to drive 8 hours to get out from under the cloud deck the next year, though it was nothing even close to the previous years shower (fall 2001 I believe was the Big one).
