The tour's only California stop is at the Western Center for Archaeology and Paleontology in Hemet through May 10th.

The track with the dog was also interesting to listen to with just the musical accompaniment. It's a bit of a drive out to Hemet, but well worth the admission price of only eight dollars.

It even has links to the exhibition's specs if you feel like trying your talk your local museum into bringing it in. <a href="http://www.empsfm.org/exhibitions/index.asp?categoryID=21&ccID=88" target="_blank">http://www.empsfm.org/exhibiti...&ccID=88</a>
