Rivertown Revival

How much interest is there in doing a demo, etc. at Rivertown Revival?
http://www.rivertownrevival.com/ is a steampunk art and music festival on (in the middle of) the river in Petaluma, held this year on July 22.
The far corner is usually lightly trafficked, so I think we can find enough space there. I was imagining we'd display some stuff and rope off an area for alternate demos and an introductory game, much like we've done before at Cons.
Pros: there is a lot of sillyiness and this might be a good venue to recruit folks who like to dress strangely and do oddball things, somewhat older than the LumaCon crowd.
Cons: it's on a Saturday, which will impair the usual park day, there are 5 stages of music, so it gets a bit loud, there is beer and wine served, so things can get a bit rowdy, the ground isn't tended, so is quite rough, there are obstacles that might make retrieving projectiles awkward, and there are no trees or other shade, so it gets HOT.
I've spoken to a few people, including Leroy, and they've been supportive, so I emailed Elizabeth, the spiritual leader, but haven't heard back. They're putting plans in place, so I'm going to pursue this expeditiously, unless there is a clear opposition.
