dino dna

For this issue of the Saint, I was assigned to write an article about Walking With Dinosaurs, a show coming to Van Andel. However, because the article was due last Friday and the show did not start until last night, I was to write a preview based on an interview with a PR rep for the show from Los Angeles.

I wish I had been able to write a review, but that's the thing with smaller newspapers that come out every two weeks... barely. Interesting article ideas usually aren't timely when the paper finally comes out.

Now, I love dinosaurs more than the next person, but if I had written this review, I would have included:
- the dialogue was cheesy at times and obviously written for a younger audience
- the 'paleontoligist' or rather the actor who portrayed a paleontologist was not...good
- much of it was anti-climactic because the dinosaurs couldn't actually attack each other.
- it was not as awesome as I anticipated
- I would not have paid $35, the minimum price of a ticket, to go see the show

Although I do love dinosaurs.

Luckily I got in for free.
