I hear that. I just happen to live in a part of the country that's going to offer optimum viewing for this years total solar eclipse.

Most surrounding towns have been planning festivals/viewings for the last couple of years for people visiting for the event from different parts of the country/world.

I'll likely just drive out in the middle of the country and find a nice isolated spot, I just hope I don't wake up that day and find a bunch of "new" tents in my back yard.

As far as the Masters tickets go, I'd be willing to fight the crowds once anyway if I had the opportunity. After that, I'd likely just go back to watching it on tv. I say that because of the Indy 500 experience I had a few years back. My brother won free tickets, so we went...and the crowds/drunks SUCKED! Never again. You get better, more complete views and descriptions of the relevant action on tv anyway...although admittedly...as far as the Indy 500 goes, it could have just been the associated demographics, because we also went to Indy for the first US Formula One race in 2000 and it was an ENTIRELY different atmosphere.

I'm serious about Masters tickets though. If you or anyone you know in Augusta acquires tickets in the future and either can't or have no interest in going, I'd appreciate you keeping me in mind.
