Looks like its going to be close to Venus sometime April 24th 2016 that'd prolly make more of a mess than it would hitting earth.
But the really cool thing is on June 14, 2060 when this
http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=99942;orb=1
shows Venus and Apophis so close that the dots overlap
That'll be fun to watch (assuming nasa's java applet is accurate and that I'm not blind in 2060):)
