At some point during Wednesday night (? it's really a bit of a blur) I heard something that I though was thunder.

Boy they must have been comfortable. The Sealy Posturpedic of observing chairs.

Gargoyle Steve had one of the black observing chairs, and I can attest that they are very very comfortable, worth every penny. I was initially skeptical that they were better than the many wooden observing chair creations around, but they genuinely are. If you want to sit comfortably for hours, there is no substitute, it just has to be these. They really are comfortable enough to sleep on. Some of the wooden chairs were being sold for $80 at Astrofest, but you get what you pay for.
