Ask HN: Any of you going to be at the Texas eclipse festival?
I'll be road trippin' it from Southern California! Curious how many other HNers will be there - might be worth meeting up for a drink. I’ll be at my desk doing a regular work day and stepping outside to observe it; my office is in the path of totality and I figure there’s no other time in my life that an eclipse is going to come to me, so I’m taking full advantage. Nice. I wonder how many people will end up being in the path of totality but not able to see it anyway - like mission critical jobs at a power plant. That would be painful! Yes, I went to Wyoming in 2017 to observe the eclipse and couldn’t believe that people were still driving around within minutes of totality - at that point just pull off the highway and stop and look! Going to be in Austin for the eclipse but may drive out somewhere to see it. Not going to the festival specifically though. Similarly, if anyone is in Hot Springs, AR, that'll make two of us. Viewing the eclipse from an actual hot spring would probably the perfect viewing scenario.
