I have to agree with the other folks about Tyrell. Back in my student days, when my cash flow was less, and I was too cheap to stay overnight in Drumheller, I just made it a day trip from Edmonton. Jump in the car about six in the morning and be there about lunch time. Spend five or six hours wandering around. Jump back in the car and be home by one in the morning. Did that several times, and it was worth it each and every time.

Phil, you will just have to make another trip up here one day and make sure the Tyrell is on your itinerary.

Dang! I’m about 3500 km east of where you’ll be, or I’d be there! Let us know if you ever get into Ontario (not that there’s anything wrong with Alberta!), particularly the southeastern bit.

Hope you have a great time!

Ahh… missed that post about flying in and out. Still, Tyrell Museum is highly recommended to anyone visiting Calgary or Edmonton.

Heeeey… I’m one of those wing-nuts from Alberta… or North Texas as some of us refer to it. I concur with my fellow Albertans. Go to Drumheller, and check out the museum, you shant be disappointed.

Also, why has there been no Blog about the “Great World Wide Star Count?” Seems right up the BA Alley.

Hey Phil, is that “rawk” like the sound a parrot makes?

Ken B, those hipsters have all sorts of sweet slang these days. OMG LOL, ROFLMAO. It’s like pink and green.

I agree with Jamie – getting a hotel room could be tricky.
The town (city, really) doesn’t have anywhere near enough
rental units for all the people working there, so some end up
staying in hotels for long periods.
Also FYI, the Saturday panel discussion is listed as “sold out.”
Unless Phil has some places reserved for deserving folks…
and I was all set to drive up from Edmonton, too.

I rawk too, but usually first thing in the morning if I’ve slept with the window open.

Nice Photoshop job – I never knew you were macrocephalic

So, tell me – do you ever send thank you letters to the various moon hoax proponents for their contributions to your yearly income? I don’t know, something nice along the lines of, “Thank you for continuing to spout your lame drivel. Because of you, I get paid to point out how ludicrous it is on a regular basis, and this requires very little preparation on my part, so it’s enormously cost-effective. Here’s to a long and prosperous relationship!”

Seems only fair

Any plans to speak near North Carolina anytime soon?
