Gonna be there until the third week of August.

I'm trying to stall the Fargo DU get-together until the fall, and hopefully there will be a Twin Cities one this summer.

It's only the 70+ year-old folks who adore him here. Everyone under 60 here thinks he sucks. And we have old people here in spades.

Lots of dinosaurs, and is the first place where Tyrannosaurus rex was ever discovered.
