Couldn't see shit from my place. Was I looking in the wrong direction? At the wrong time? Or is there just too much light pollution on my street?
Probably too much light pollution. Unless you're far away from any light it's difficult to see with the naked eye. Try taking a picture with a long exposure (just a couple seconds should do it). You'll want to be looking North and they can change in intensity through the night but I was able to get some good photos around 11:30.
