The last time I remember something passing in front of the sun I was in third or forth grade and there was a lunar eclipse. We went outside with a blank index card with a whole in it and were instructed to stand with our back to the sun and to look at the our index card over the back our shoulder, or something like that.
Today at 8am I had no clue that were was anything cooling about to happen. My co-worker, Sam, called me to ask about ordering more boxes for packing product and just happened to mention that Venus was going to cross in front of the sun this evening and it wouldn't happen again for another 105 years. I more or less forgot about it until about 2pm when I got an email from our friend, Aaron, about where to look at "trasit venus" in Milwaukee and where to buy the glasses. Done. I would check it out before ballet. I called Aaron and we agreed that we would meet up at 5:30pm (I would pick up two pairs of glasses).
Coolest thing ever.
