Re: Dinofest and Sue in Boston

["Steve Brusatte" <dinoland@lycos.com>]

I've been fortunate enough to see both the original Sue in Chicago and the cast 
in Boston.  The Chicago exhibit, as expected is much more in depth, and, yes, 
was much better.  But, for all of you who get the chance to see one of these 
traveling Sue casts, I definitely recommend it.

In regards to Dinofest in Chicago, I'll be there for at least one day of it 
(maybe more?).  I can't say when, but look forward to seeing some of the new 
exhibits.
