Galoots,

  This is an early heads up for our ninth annual Chicago area get
together.  The dates are July 31st and August 1st.  The reason for
the early notice is that I'm trying to fill our infill kit class on
July 31st.  We are importing Ben Knebel and Doug Evans (purveyors of
http://www.shepherdtool.com ) from Canada.  Ben suggests
that people build either their #7 smoother in brass or steel
or a shoulder in brass or steel or a chariot in brass or steel.
He's also offering a 10% discount for galootapalooza students.
There are currently 10 spots open.
  Ben and Doug will be doing an infill presentation that evening.
You don't have to have built a plane to attend the presentation.
There is a joint eaia/mtwca tool meet the following morning.
