TONIGHT (Wednesday Oct. 15, 2008)

So, after a day of NECAPS perhaps you have plans for some activity tonight other than homework ....

• Write about those dang NECAPS Tell the world what they're like. Love 'em? Hate 'em? Tell a story. Did you fall asleep? Did you wake up early in the morning with an anxiety attack? keyword: NECAP
• The Final Debate is on TV and radio at 9 p.m. and perhaps you'd care to blog about it here on youngwritersproject.org. Use the keyword finaldebate (among any others you like) so we can find your thoughts. (Proving that I'm no Nastradamus the last debate was not as interesting as predicted, but perhaps this one will be. If nothing else, keep a running tally: McCain: Number of times he says "My friends." Obama: Number of times he says, "Look" or "Now look." Or, the number of times each uses the word "change.")
• Author Greg Melville at Flying Pig Bookstore at 7 p.m. in Shelburne Is it possible to drive coast-to-coast without stopping at a single gas pump? Journalist Greg Melville is determined to try. With his college buddy Iggy riding shotgun, this green-thinking guy-who's in love with the idea of free fuel-sets out on an enlightening road trip. The quest: to be the first people to drive cross-country in a french-fry car. Will they make it from Vermont to California in a beat-up 1985 Mercedes diesel station wagon powered on vegetable oil collected from restaurant grease Dumpsters along the way? More important, can two guys survive 192 consecutive hours together? Get there early. And blog about it later.
