I went to last year's at Moffet Field. They had the place set up nicely, it was in a hangar and there were airplanes on the event's premises. I only went in the evening, for the music and it was lightly packed with people, it wass strange to see Federal Law enforcement wandering around a rave atmosphere, but they were cool. There was good production values to the event and this line up looks pretty good, so I might go again. Tycho has an amazing live show and he's a local boy too, I definitely recommend checking him out sometime.
