Out of Town Today in Trips I Wish I Could Take

A party on a Russian ship in the middle of the ocean, a solar eclipse, and Boredoms: Sounds like a blast, just take it easy on the hallucinogens, lest you never come back from this one.
Organizers of Tokara The Sun & Moon Festival have booked a Russian ferry and hired the Boredoms, along with New York’s Gang Gang Dance and Japan’s Goma, to play a show during the next Saros 136 eclipse, which will take place July 22. The spectacle is subtitled, “The Lucy in the Sky With Diamond Ring Tour.”
July’s eclipse will be extraordinarily long — the totality of the eclipse, the point at which the moon is fully obscuring the sun, will reach 6 minutes, 39 seconds. According to NASA, the umbra of the eclipse will cut a path straight across China and the South Pacific, with the best viewpoint off the southern coast of Japan, at 24.2 degrees N, 144.1 degrees E, when the sun is 86 degrees overhead.
