Bo Nelson and his staff at Thou Mayest hoped to create a judge-free environment that can spark dialogue.
“We’re kind of like Switzerland," he said. "We’re just trying to create a fun and stimulating place for people to come and exchange ideas.”
The watch party went viral quickly and gained national attention.
The owners even did interviews with national outlets. They hope to have more watch parties in the future.
