"Seeing it with my friend was really good. We had an opportunity to express ourselves, see things first hand as a group and just kind of see everybody's reaction to it, so that was a good experience," one watcher said.

"I think it's a really nice experience, especially to watch it with a lot of different people."

"Pretty interesting to see it on an HD screen you get to see a lot more facial expressions," another viewer expressed.
