Big news. Remember how I was going to LA for NYE? Well, change of plans. I’ll get to LA early 2011. I’m flying to Montreal on Porter Airlines to stay at my beloved W Hotel with Raymi and friends. Big thanks to the INQ Mobile team for putting this all together. You can enter Raymi’s contest to come here on INQ’s FB.
I’M STOKED. OMFG. GONNA BE THE MOST CRAZY AWESOME PARTY EVERRRRRRRRRR.
You can follow all the crazy via #INQNYE.
Tonight, for the first time in about almost 400 years we’ll get to see a lunar eclipse (think seriously how long that is? whoa mang). Listening to the news now and Global says Canada is the best place to see it. Starts for Eastern Canada about 1:45 am. The moon will turn redish which will be really really neat.
Super cool part about tonight is it’s happening on the Winter Solstice, for the first time since 1638. WHOA science!! Darkest day in 327 years 8) #talknerdytome
* Locate the moon. (Hint: It’s in the sky.) The earth’s shadow should start showing on the moon’s lower left around 1:33 a.m. Eastern time, which is when Fallon ends, if you’re on the east coast, or halfway through Hawaii Five-0, if you’re on the west coast.
* The shadow moves slowly, but by 2:41 a.m., the entire moon will be covered, and will stay that way for an hour. The is the optimal time for consuming your peyote, playing your war drums, murdering people, etc.
* The shadow will start moving again at 3:53 a.m., and the moon will be back to normal by 5:00 a.m. At this point it’s appropriate to do your winter solstice folk dances and poetry recitals.
Thank you so very much to everyone who entered this years holiday gifting. Big thanks also to the companies who donated gifts. I have notified all the winners across Canada. there are some I have met and haven’t met. So fun!!
In 2011 we’ll have more and more goodies for you. I believe Santa is delivering some more stuff before NYE so stay tuned for that.
Have a wonderful day and this is me giving you a huge hug!!!!! 🙂
