The LHC start up party in San Francisco

More than 200 physicists from the San Francisco Bay Area (and beyond) gathered at swissnex in San Francisco to celebrate the successful first beam circulation at the Large Hadron Collider.

Alexis Madrigal from Wired.com was there and he made a very cool video asking physicists about their hopes for the collider. The video reflects well the excitement in the room and the general buzz about the start up. See if you can pick from states of tiredness alone who was up all night watching the startup live the night before!
