There's nothing cool that happens here in the East. At least recently, but I'm glad I'm about 8-12 hours drive away from pretty snazzy places up north.

Post by: Hotgreensoldier on May 20, 2012, 06:36:03 PM: Just watched it with 5 pairs of sunglasses over each other.

Holy shit it's almost completely blocked. That looked amazing.

I know I'm stupid for not using the actual glasses but shit man, that was nice.
