It was good to watch in person. The bangs were louder than in any video and a deep boom too. Everyone jumped at the 1st one.

So much for the stay at home message!

was def worth the early morning rise. the booms were very cool. everyone jumped at the first boom as there was no warning, no countdown just silence then boom, the tv doesnt do justice for the sound of them going off 8)
