No, not the venue in Albany. If you live along the southern terminal moraine of the last ice age...basically, along I-80, or north of it, there's a good chance you can see the aurora tonight. It won't be a full color spectacle, but likely some shimmering silver curtains in the sky.

The other day, the sun splooged a massive CME in our direction that caused a solar tsunami and other fun stuff, causing the aurora forecast to rise to an "8"
Schweet! I'm too far south now, but I once saw the aurora from northern Colorado.
i never ever saw the northern lights
Yeah, I've seen 'em before, without warning, up here in NH. Thought I was having a flashback!

Me neither. Also, I never really heard of cluster flies.
alas!

I, too, saw them unexpectedly while fishing up on Lake Newbury in Canada. Which I guess isn't too unexpected, but then again, I was young and naieve
I've seen them a couple times in Wisconsin. Really cool. One time it was like a red wall of light.
One of the downsides of living in the city is that you can't really see any stuff like this, or stars. :-/
