Total Eclipse

What happens when millions of people stop what they’re doing, and all focus on the same beautiful thing, at the same beautiful time?

Last Monday millions of people across the nation put on their funny glasses, stuck their heads in cardboard boxes, and stood looking up to the sky. For one beautiful unified moment, we all just looked at something (without actually looking at it, hopefully). Millions and millions of personal experiences, spanning across the nation, weirdly and beautifully happening.

We asked Leaguers to send in their profound, their boring, their geeky, their disappointing, their magical, and their funny eclipse experiences. Oh, they sent us it all. Winning entry earned a free class for themselves, or to give to a friend. [heading]LEAGUER’S VIEWS OF THE TOTAL ECLIPSE[/heading]
