Yeah, the guy on the radio said that it's a space dragon coming to take our moon and to stop it, we have to go outside and bang pots and pans together and shine our flashlights up in the air to scare the dragon away!

I'd say the guy on the radio is nutz...

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Dirge, be sure to listen tonight for anyone that might bang pots and pans....if anyone is a nut, it would be the ones that do that. (this said hoping that you weren't going to raid the kitchen...)

[LA_MERC_JESTER]

Yeah in the Vampire world this is called blood moon. So becareful outside tonight lololol

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

however, it looks as though it's going to be too cloudy here to see it :(

[Slayer]

I got telescope! Weeee

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Looks awesome here in Louisiana...wish I had a telescope and/or a high powered camera...kinda goes from RED at the bottom to orange at the top. VERY cool...

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

well - just went outside - complete cloudcover :( :( :(

[LA_MERC_Dirge]

its not impressive with a clear sky

[NTuser]

well it did'nt blow up, nor was there a repeat of the movie Flash Gorden.

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

i would have still liked to have seen it...

[LA_MERC_Sabre]

it was cool,

It had the appearance of a ball hanging in the air....usually the moon looks like a flat circle in the sky, but last night it looked three dimensional....really cool. I actually tried to reach up and grab it...lol

[LA_MERC_Dirge]

bah I thought it was over-hyped. Maybe adding some flames and fire effects would make it better...

[Sergei Criffnoobsky]

We had an even better view here in ottawa.. the moon was glowing red and shining like never was a realy nice one ... unfortunatly there will be no more till 2008

[LA_MERC_Yankee]

It actually looked pretty cool around 10:30 or so. The moon was half white and half kind of orange.
