Well, Galootapalooza is over (bummer), but the recap is available so that
those who were unable to attand can do so viacariously...

I hope someone who attended the violin shop tour will post some pictures of
that-- from what people said, this tour was a real treat.  I'm dying to see
what everyone was raving about...

Thanks to all who attended, and special thanks to Doug McLerran for allowing
a host of hungry galoots to invade his house for a weekend!

Remember, mark your calendars for next year!  First weekend in August is
always the original (and still the best) galoot gathering-- Galootapalooza!
