This evening, I was at the Swiss Consulate in San Francisco. They held a reception for scientists and researchers from Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) and UC Berkeley's Fermi Laboratories to celebrate the startup of the LHC in Switzerland. About 100 people, incl. live video hookup from CERN. Very festive atmosphere; many have worked on this for years.
