Hey, invite someone to the October 17 Bus & Industry day. The featured speaker is Gerald Edson and maybe Billibob Boor from Brava Tile in Washington. These guys have a patented method of making custom colored roofing tile out of recycled plastics.

Ericka arranged the trip for the University Libraries in order to collect materials by former participants in the University of Iowa's International Writing Program. This renowned 40 year old program brings young, promising writers from around the world to Iowa City for several months each fall.

Meredith enjoyed explaining her foodie blog and travel log. Ericka also put a lot of pictures up on FlickR.
