Any body gonna watch them and where?

Would love to, but it rather depends on the weather.

Best way to view would be on a lounger in a sleeping bag, Standing and looking up soon gives you a cricked neck and sods law says when you look down for a moment to relieve it a -5 bolide flies over, and you miss it.
