Roger that. 11 PM, I'll be freezing my ass off in some field, wondering if anyone's gonna bring beer, and reveling in the glory of 6000 meteors an hour.

Still cloudy here so I doubt I'll see anything. I am kinda hoping that a meteor crashes through my bedroom window though...

Yup, and that's exactly why I'm hoping for one to crash through my window. As long as it doesn't hit me I'll be happy. 8)

Of course having said this I'll have a 5 ton metor smash into my house...

Just wait till you and Hyperion are old men like me. 2:30 will be late sooner than you will want it too happen. :wink:

Heck, wait till you have a kid like my best friends, they are tore up by 930pm.
