Cob slideshow by Robert Bolman

[Don Stephens]

Hey, Have you considered swinging east after Vancouver.  I suspect there
is a group of folks in Nelson BC area that would be thrilled to host you -
check with Habib up there.  I'm also sure we could get a group together
here in Spokane WA through the local chapter of the EcoBuilding Guild,
Creating The Future, Simplicity Circles and such.  You'd be welcome to
bunk here at our place or in our teepee in the front yard.  

Also I could take you out to the earth-sheltered (living roofed),
strawbale, rammed earth, cob, soil cement, annualized passive solar
demonstration home one of my clients has under construction and the test
module next to it that has been performing and gathering data for two
years now.  You might find these interesting additions to your slide show,
along with shots of the SNAP strawbale house we built last year for a
low-income family. Also the 1850 Cataldo Mission which incorporates cob,
wattle and daub and is Idaho's oldest standing structure is near by and
worth a visit. 

Do you charge to present and how much?  Your synopsis sounds so similar
to my own presented at this spring's Spokane Sustainability Symposium! 
look forward to hearing from you. - Don Stephens
