Whoever coined "astrofest" needs to be taken out the back and quietly put down; it is dreadful affliction, starting with aperture fever and leading to terminal multiple telescopitis.
Star party, please.

You've obviously never been to astrofest Wavytone, its far more a festival than a party.......except for that sorry lot that inhabit the western fence, they're right into karioke after a few reds on the last Saturday night. Sad really. 
And yes people usually do end up with those terminal illnesses after attending.
