Being in a similar timezone avoided that problem for me, and it was a 
welcome distraction from RL to watch some of the videos; but I didn't gain 
anything particular out of it being live because there was no obvious way to 
interact back.  Admittedly I was hampered by being unable to use IRC, but 
were people on it 'live' during the event?  I was tempted to drop a question 
onto the EtherPad and see if anyone picked it up.

I suspect that there actually was a reasonable amount of scope for remote 
interactivity, just that it wasn't as obvious or well-advertised as it could 
have been.  But since the only advantage to *outputting* media feeds in 
real-time is if remote viewers can *input* straight back, that's something 
that would be worth consolidating in the future.
