I’m going to the 2017 Solar Celebration in Madras, Oregon => http://www.2017solarcelebration.com <= to see the solar eclipse on August 21st. From what I understand, we’re going to be able to view the eclipse for a full two (2!) minutes.
It’s a once in a lifetime event.
Some dude said the next solar eclipse visible from America will be in 98 years. I don’t know if that number’s accurate, but I do know the next one isn’t for decades. So having this chance to see it from different locations in the continental US is amazing.
So I’m going to be in Madras, Oregon.
I’m going to see the eclipse.
I’ve been considering getting a vendor license, but it’s a lot of money.
I mean, this is a once-in-a-lifetime festival. I have no idea what to expect.
Plus I have no idea whose going. It could very well end up being my group alone in a field while a sad wanna-fest peters on in the background.
So while the thought of setting up a table and making a mini-fortune while sharing my artwork makes me lick my lips, I’ve gotta weigh the reality that I’m broke.
A vapor-fest would devastate things.

To be honest, I think seeing more people mentioning plans to visit the 2017 Solar Celebration festival would make me feel better. But it almost seems as though people aren’t clamoring to see the eclipse.
So weird.
Anyways, expect some eclipse mania.
