The date depends on which hemisphere you’re in, Western on the 5th and Eastern on the 6th. This page will show you if you even have a chance of seeing it: http://www.transitofvenus.org/faq/187-so-is-it-visible-june-5-or-june-6-2012
You can find your local transit time on this site: http://transitofvenus.nl/wp/where-when/local-transit-times/

Weather permitting, I’ll be getting a pic of this run through a telescope onto a piece of paper. If I get good pics, I’ll post them here.

Well I couldn’t get any of the solar viewers in time…waited too long to try to order and then could only order like 100 minimum. Sheesh! I watched the NASA Edge streaming event for a while. If you missed it here’s a spectacular video from NASA of the transit as observed by the Solar Dynamics Observatory…in HD.
