Bird origins conference in sunny Florida

[GSP1954@aol.com]

Ah, imagine. On the beach to the north of Miami, the spring Atlantic breeze 
tossing one's hair, the cry of the gulls inspiring the question - are 
dromaeosaurs really the closest relatives of archaeopterygiforms? 

This could be YOU, IF you attend the Florida Symposium of Dinosaur-Bird 
Evolution presented by the Graves Museum of Archaeology & Natural History, 
Dania Beach FL, April 7 & 8. The fun includes two days of talks and 
discussion panels including the likes of Phil Currie, Mark Norell, Alan 
Feduccia, Larry Martin, Bob Bakker, John Ruben, Peter Wellnhofer, John 
Ostrom, yours truly, and many, many more. For your listening and viewing 
amusement, an exhibit featuring the brand new Bambiraptor, the latest - and 
some would say controversial - National Geographic feathered archosaur 
exhibit, and much, much more. But wait, that's not all. For further events, 
basic information, reservations, and so forth, check out 
http://www.gravesmuseum.org (if the latter is not posted yet it soon will be; 
please, I beg of you, do not direct your inquries to poor moi). Bring a 
friend. 

See you there.
