This was announced as “the last TetZoo Con” meeting ever”... Next year it will be renamed as another another event, will leave London as their main venue, and it will be called DinoCon... and rightly so… after all Dinosaurs always seem the main attraction, depite all the attention other amphibians, reptiles, mammals etc need…Dinosaurs are sexy… and nobody can deny it. Besides, these meetings have become like the “lost Paleofamily” reunion… everybody knows and cares for r each other, perhaps with some surprise exceptions, but they don’t really count.

This time the exhibition, paleoart workshop and vendor stalls wefe all at the eighth floor of the Bush House in Aldwych. With the killer of killers view of London you can imagine!

I mean, even among vendors, there were some real marvels on show that made many of us that had things to sell too make losses instead of gains! Look at this marvels from Jed Taylor and Ruahdri Brennan… or my prize exchange with Darren…direct from the work of James Pascoe.

To celebrate the last of TetZoo’s I prepared a couple of special “events” of my own. First was the exlusive release of Extreme Dinosaurs Pt. 3, Blogging! in a very limited, numbered edition of 100 that once is finished… is finished! Unless we manage to find a publisher. It might not be as well laid-out as many people would liked but it was a labour of love, made in a real hurry… No regrets there! I wwas surprried to see the original pterosaur artwork I gave to Dave Hone in the exhibition

The highlight of the whole three days I have to say was meeting Dinosaur UberFan Aby and her mom… they were the delight of eveybody! Thank you simply for your presence Aby!

The second event for me was Darren Naish organised a group visit to Dinosaur rEvolution on the third day, still at the Horniman Museum as part of their annual field trip and kindly allowed me to be their exhibition guide.

All in all a success!
