Well, it wasn't too hyped here. I just recently heard [don't know if it's true] that it was at 2:11am our time, so I have an excuse for not seeing it, besides the fact that it's too dark to be seen even if I did manage to stay awake. Also, that some of the hype was that the planets were lined up in a cross or something... I'm not sure. Did anyone else hear anything like that? Not that I exactly follow astrology, but it'd still be interesting.
