Granted, I like sunspots and solar events because I do the di-da-dit thing. But going out to watch rocks/dust falling from the sky? Hello! "There are rocks overhead that are falling this way, let's stand here and watch!" ;)
And yes, I will hold your beer while you do that.

If you're lucky, a nickel-to-quarter size object may light up the sky and ground before it burns up, tens of mile above the Earth.
Otherwise, you're talking grain-of-sand size or so that are usually quite fleeting.
I'll go so far as to say that you won't even have to bother covering that beer from any meteor ash...
