Archaeosounds - archaeology sounds! - 3:40 PM, Aug. 2, 2008 |
| At a party celebrating Jane Bassett's new book "The Craftsman Revealed", my new band project, The Getty Rocks played archaeology-based songs. It was a wonderful informal debut of the archaeology songs from an upcoming Dinosounds CD called "Archaeosounds". The members of The Getty Rocks are: Robbie Yates- guitar, David Carson- bass, Bob Levy- drums, and me on guitar and vocals. Stay tuned for more concert dates!

Dino-girl Apparel fun! - 3:33 PM, Aug. 2, 2008 |
| Kaitlin Amick models a great hand-painted tee-shirt at the CEO Space conference. She is part of the teens class and really promoted Dinosounds to the other teens. I am so thrilled that teens are enjoying the Dino-designs.

girls and dinosaurs- together at last. - 12:33 PM, Jul. 10, 2008 |
I have been encouraged to make my hand-painted dinosaur shirts available in girls' sizes, and the Venice Eco-Fest was a perfect opportunity to do so. Wow, they were very popular, and I will continue to make them. If you want one, please e-mail me. Friends from the Mahikari booth had fun modelling the shirts. On the left is Heidi Long, and on the right is Michiko Adachi. Thanks, girls! "Dino-guy" Ron Schmidtling |

Venice Eco-Fest 2008 - 1:15 PM, Jul. 9, 2008 |
| Amazingly, at the Venice Eco-Fest, I performed to kids, and ended up with a booth right next to my friends at the Sukyo Mahikari booth. One of the women there, an artist by the name of Yoshie Beimler, took a bunch of great photos, and many of them have me and my dino-booth in them.Enjoy:

It's really awesome to have friends who care about the environment and actually take steps outside and inside to change.

Dinosounds coloring contest for Kids! - 6:13 PM, Jun. 19, 2008 |
On the website, I have coloring pages. You can download them from www.dinosounds.com. At the T-rex Museum of Ancient Life, Tucson, AZ, they had a coloring contest, using my pages. The kids really went for it, and here are the results. It's a wonderful testament to the creativity of children, when a Tyrannosaurus rex is involved! "Dino-guy" Ron Schmidtling |

Permian age Coconino sandstone - 2:57 AM, Jun. 14, 2008 |
| This stone is from northern Arizona, the Permian age coconino sandstone. The little tetrapod trackway near my finger is from an amphibian or a mammal-like reptile that lived 270 million years ago. Researchers have never found the animal, so the tracks are a bit of a mystery. I thought it fitting that the rock is to be used as a sunning spot for lizards, and possibly a gecko.

Bonnington Truce Reunion in Jackson, Mississippi! - 12:20 PM, May. 7, 2008 |
And there was much rejoicing at the Crossroads Film Festival, Hal & Mal's in Jackson, MS, with the Bonnington Truce reunion, playing "Wild Thing", Jeff Bridges had a Danelectro bass guitar, identical to the one I have. I wore Dino-guy colors, Brian Huddell and I reminisced, and planned our own movie... http://www.bonningtontruce.com "Dino-guy" Ron Schmidtling |

Dino-guy goes to the Crossroads Film Festival- Mississippi - 6:41 PM, Mar. 31, 2008 |
At the dawn of time, there was a group of kids from Long Beach, MS that formed a band called Anvil. They were good, and so they headed to USM to find a brighter place. Although Hattiesburg was the brightest spot in Mississippi, it was still dark days for new music. With a name-change to Next Window and some new haircuts, they reached out into the darkness (www.misbelieves.com). In this darkness, solace could yet be found, and camaraderie. In this darkness, there was Bonnington Truce (www.bonningtontruce.com). Next Window and Bonnington Truce played one concert together at a place called the Avanti Theatre. Shortly thereafter, like two galaxies colliding, some parts flew off and others melded together to form new and wonderful creations, like The Three Humans, The Now Explosion, and Love's Scarfaces. Like long-lost star-clusters pulled together by gravity, they are all coming back together again, to re-visit the origin: 3pm, Saturday, April 5, Jackson, MS, at the Crossroads Film Festival. Dino-Guy (above, guess which one) will be there! Check it out- "Dino-guy" Ron Schmidtling |

Acton agates and friends - 4:51 PM, Mar. 31, 2008 |
The area just south of Acton and north of Vasquez Rocks contains volcanic layers from several million years ago. Within these volcanics are vugs filled with calcite and quartz, creating some very nice agate geodes. When I first took geology class at Pasadena City College, one of the field trips took us to Tick Canyon (I'm not sure if you can still go there), that used to be an evaporite mine. Above and below the evaporites are layers of volcanics filled with geodes. The geodes on my Dinosounds Isuzu Trooper are from the volcanics. Behind me is Erin Daniels and her mom Eileen.
