/*
Here is the code for project 1! We built a to-go coffee cup sleeve that gives the user conversation starters. The messages were prompted by capacitive touch sensors, and printed onto an LCD screen.

I got the original LCD screen 'hello world' code from this url:  http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/LiquidCrystalHelloWorld

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
