Auroravision

At least once before I die I'd like to go up north to witness firsthand the Northern Lights (while blazin' some Northern Lights, naturally). Until then there is the AuroraWebCam broadcasting to you from Fairbank, Alaska.

Yeah me too. I also want to Alaska the summer when the sun doesn't set for like 2 weeks. I've heard everyone gets all crazy and people barely sleep.

Dude, your in michigan! Just drive a few hours north, trust me you will see them.

I saw them in northern Wisconsin. For some reason, I thought they would be accompanied by some sort of laser-beam sound. But, of course, they were not. And at such a low latitude they were actually fairly unobtrusive.

I'll have to ask my buddies from the Upper Peninsula if they've ever seen the Lights. I think you can bring a device that is affected by the field caused by the aurora that can translate light into sound.. if not lsd will do the trick.

I think this device you speak of and LSD are one in the same.
