HI Paul...
I love seeing all the videos/photos of Gator by the Bay so I can have a vicarious experience! I've been there twice, and plan to go next year for sure! I'm from La Jolla and my mother still lives there, so I must visit her on Mother's Day, of course!
Thank you for documenting this fabulous festival! It's the Best!
Now I'm waiting to see the videos from Johnny D's with the Hoolios!
