Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | My son Justin, who has been touring with the "Walking with Dinosaurs" experience will be on Good Morning America tomorrow morning (Tuesday - April 22).
Not sure of the exact time but he indicated that he will initially be shown wearing either the baby T-Rex or Raptor suit chasing people in the outside crowd and then he will be interviewed about the show.
If you haven't seen the show, it is a pretty amazing extravaganza and shouldn't be missed (adults and children!)
Anyway....as a proud father I just wanted to share the info that he would be on the boob tube tomorrow morning.
I will be watching/taping it and I hope some of you will be able to catch it also. |

Me and the missus are trying to keep our kids off of the news. :D |

Last time I saw him he had a beard so I wonder if he will shave it for the interview. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | LOL... So I was picturing this 8-year-old-or-so in a dino suit is going to be on the tele, and then I read... "Last time I saw him he had a beard so I wonder if he will shave it for the interview." LOL!!!! Almost spit out my coffee.. |

This is high tech stuff with the suits weighing over 100 pounds and based on the actual size and perceived appearance of the dinosaurs.
Definitely not Barney or Dino! |

Certainly every parent dreams of the day they can point proudly at the TV and say, "That's him! That's my son, the... giant carnivorous reptile." |

I think those that are not familiar with the "Dinosaurs" tour will be shocked by the realism.
Think Raptors from Jurassic Park in front of your face! |

He was bummed because his interview got cut. Oh well, Diane Sawyer was smooching with him when they were outside in the crowd. |

They jump all over the place. Whoever schedules their shows doesn't know what a straight line is so if they are nearby today it means in a month or so they might be next door. |

Congrats to your son!
I went to the site for tour dates and was disappointed that there are no shows down here for '08. My Grandbabies would love it. I guess we have enough dinosaurs as it is! Yeah, I may be one but at least I'm indigenous!  |

I know he is under contract until March '09 so they will be touring for almost another full year. |
