WHERE TO WATCH 2012 LONDON OLYMPICS CLOSING CEREMONIES IN BETHESDA TONIGHT

Can it really be over?  It bloody well can, mate!

It seems like just yesterday that TV screens were filled with opening ceremonies, and now the 2012 London Olympic Games are ending tonight with a bang.  And the Spice Girls.

Where to watch the closing ceremonies in Bethesda?

Why, at Bethesda's British pub, Union Jack's!

Starting at 7 PM, over 20 HD flatscreens and projector TVs will be showing the London closing ceremonies, with full theater sound.

Enjoy actual British cuisine and beer while you watch.

How about a FREE pint of Bass?  Just print out this coupon, and bring it with you tonight!

PERSEIDS METEOR SHOWER TONIGHT - WHERE TO WATCH IN BETHESDA

Tonight between midnight and dawn, the Perseids meteor shower will entertain and amaze amateur astronomers far and wide.

Will Bethesda residents have a good viewing spot?  Downtown, if you live in one of the rare buildings with rooftop access, that would be your best bet.

Viewing conditions would likely be better in the suburbs.  Parks would be ideal, but only when they are open 24 hours.

I have seen meteor showers before in Bethesda, so it is possible.

If you're going to be up anyway during the meteor storm, you might as well check it out, and you'll soon know if it's visible or not.

Where did you watch from, and what did you see?  Feel free to post your report here in the comments tomorrow.
