That was at the NHM before. I never went but saw some pics....it had feathered dromaeosaurs and the like from what I saw, but once again had the good ol' pronated forearms etc. Nevertheless I might make the trip to Birmingham to see the robots, given that I didn't see them the first time around. (Naturally if there is the remotest chance of getting to meet the good Dr A again I will make an extra special effort...  ) |

Oh, I never got to see this at the NHM. I ought to try to see it this time.  And it would be lovely if I get to meet Dr. A, however intimidated I feel. ;D |

I've been a bit distant on the forum recently because I've been working so hard on the Dino Jaws exhibition. However, it's finally come together and the exhibition will open to the public tomorrow and will run for the whole Summer. There was a preview event tonight and we had some great responses If any of you are able to make a trip to Birmingham I'll happily show you around - a small dinotoyforum get-together may even be in order... www.thinktank.ac/page.asp?section=772§ionTitle=Coming+Soon+%2D+DINO+JAWS%21 |

a small dinotoyforum get-together may even be in order... THIS MUST HAPPEN. We can even bring along the 'intimidated' Niroot. (You should be, Niroot - Adam's a towering man with a booming voice, huge beard and an army of scuttling curatorial underlings that obey his every command.) |

More like a diminutive man with a squeaky voice and scratty beard. I'm also at the lower end of the curatorial food chain But meet up we should! Dino Jaws Brachiosaurus before being unpacked. With human for scale.  |

Sorry, I couldn't resist. But yes - having the artist, the scientist and the unemployed failure of a student in the same room would be wonderful.

And I'm intimidated by everyone. I can guarantee I'd even be intimidated by Andrew if he makes it over. ;D Plus, aside from everything else about Dr. Adam, his brain alone is most intimidating of all. ;D ... the unemployed failure of a student... Nonsense. The journalism graduate, you mean. |
