Tripod for Telescope?

Anyone know where I could locally buy a tripod for a small telescope (Galileoscope, to be specific)? Alternately, if you have an extra one you don't need, I'll buy it off you. I need one by next Monday. Thanks!

The galileoscope has a standard photo-tripod mounting nut, so any standard photo tripod should work. The cheapest would be the table-mounted tripods you can get at Best Buy, et al. for something like $15. Or ask family/friends to borrow their camera tripod.

Or one of those gorillapod things! Then you can make it grab onto a fence or anything else if there's no flat surface :)
