Chapter 225: Design Downriver, Speaking at the Source
I just want to give everyone a heads up that I will be going up to Minneapolis from Tuesday the 16th through Saturday the 20th and will be giving two talks about the work that we are doing here at the Gulf Coast Community Design Studio. The first will be, after many changes at the University of Minnesota's College of Design Wednesday evening and the second at the Solutions, Vol. 2 event put on by my friends Troy and Colin which will be highlighting design from and by Twin Cities residents (or in my case, former residents). Here is the info for both talks.
Design Downriver: The Work of the Gulf Coast Community Design Studio
Location: Rapson Hall 100, University of Minnesota
When: Wednesday 17 October @ 6:15
Length: Approximately 45 minutes with a short Q & A following

What: A brief on the studio as well as how I ended up down in Biloxi at the other end of the Mississippi.
I hope that all my friends in Minneapolis can all make it to one of the talks so that I can share what we are up to first hand down here. I'd love to see you all.
