The best would be to spend most of the day there. If you want to spend some night viewing time there, then head off home, make sure you tell someone that's what you intend to do and they will tell you where to park your car (so that your headlights don't upset the viewers
).
BTW, there will be plenty of girls there. A lot of guys bring their wifes/girlfriends, as well as the female enthusiasts who attend. Check out the photos on the
Astrofest web site. It's not just a group of guys showing off their big weapons and drinking lots of alcohol - at least I don't think it is
