Re: DinoFest gathering...

["Allan Edels" <edels@email.msn.com>]

Mary et al:

    Please try to find out when the keynote speech ends, or when the banquet
is suppossed to end.  (I will try from this end as well.   I will also try
to find out if the Academy of Natural Sciences is holding some sort of
get-together for all the pro participants, and try to find a way to 'crash'
that for the Dino list people who are not presenting papers).

    We need to know what kind of place people might like, how many are
interested, and which hotels (locations as well as names) people will be
using.

    The Dinofest will be held at the Philadelphia Civic Convention Center,
near the "University City" section of Phila.  [University of Pennsylvania is
right there!   - The U of P Hospital is half a block from the center, the
University Museum (great archaeology stuff there) is another half block -
Drexel University is another 2 blocks north of the museum].  {Mary and
others: This is NOT the same location as the A.A.A.S. meeting you were at}.
Being near major universities, there are lots of different places to go to
nearby, and "Center City"  (aka "downtown") is within 10 minutes of
Dinofest, and it has dozens more places to have a get-together.

    Let me know .  Thanks,

            Allan Edels
