If you can get to Denver for these dates, I HIGHLY recommend you go to
this.  I have the pleasure of being a student of a couple of these
paleontologists, and most of the rest are friends or colleagues.  It should
be incredibly informative.  Phil Currie and Kirk Johnson, in particular,
are sure to address topics popular with this list (dinosaurs and dino food,
respectively ;-)).

I doubt I will be able to get there (SVP is the week before, and finances
look to be very tight in the near future [T minus 38 days and counting til
exile's end]), but I encourage everyone who can get there to get there.
