Yuri's Night Bay Area
12 April 2008 - NASA's Ames Research Center Mountain View, CA, USA
Come to Yuri’s Night Bay Area to kick back, celebrate, and dance, but also be ready to learn, interact, and think! You could think of Yuri’s Night as a fusion of a technology expo, a Maker Faire, an art exhibition, and a music festival, all rolled into one.
