Anthology Released. Names, videos, sound...
YWP Community,
The energy of the Anthology Celebration and workshops is still with me. Got some new stuff for you:
- VIDEOS of the event. These films were put together by Jan Cannon, a wonderful film maker from Charlotte. Check them out. One of intro with some audio of readings; one of Lisa Ventriss of Vermont Roundtable; and one of Rusty DeWees.
- Click here to read and LISTEN to the piece as they were presented at the celebration.
- Click here to read all the selections.
- Click here for Usagi's interviews.
- Those of you who went to the celebration, please drop a note of thanks to JOHN CANNING, the YWP board chairman who provided the space and food for the event. As Rusty would say, "he'd like that."
- We just sent out a batch of Anthology copies to those of you in the book who couldn't make it. If, in a week, you don't have one, contact us.
- THESE MAKE GREAT GIFTS at any time of year, so order some more copies (and your cash helps support our work.) Click here for the order form and send it to Young Writers Project, 69 Swift St., Suite 300, South Burlington, 05403.
We'll be having more workshops and gatherings in the months ahead. And we'll have them in different spots in the state so some of you won't have to drive so far. Thanks for all your writing, your ideas and your spirit. Keep on writin'

I wonder how much those concert tickets cost. If it's too much and we don't want to go to Montreal, than we should go to this. Maybe PocketChange can come too?

Duckie was posing a speculative question. Who isn't pocketchange? it's a point we'd all do well to consider- if we are all pocketchange then who is the papermoney and who's hand is dealing us out?
I believe those kinds of questions are the ones that belong in the comments on YWP.
Ok
gg, I already talked to her (if you are talking about babbit) and we might have like four Rutland people going in total, but i'm not sure. It's basically up to my mom, but i will find a way. We mentioned something about carpooling, but i will talk to them more. I will be there though.

Oh...
That weekend, I have an (overnight) cast party the night before and a function in Montpelier the night after.
Mes parents want me to choose.
On one hand, I'll be in other plays...but I loved THIS one, and I want to see it off.
There is absolutely no way I can NOT go to the thing in Montpelier, and besides, I want to go to that, too...
And of course there's no way I'm not going to this.
What should I do?

I may have a timeline to leave to get to something that night. About how long will the final gathering be? And if I can only be there for about the first half hour of it, should I still tell you I'll be there?

Flier?
Hi,
Your information about the upcoming workshops and celebration mentions that there's a flier attached, but I can't find it. I'd like to print it for a student whose work is included. Please help me find it.
Thanks,
Eve
Flyer for workshop
You can find the workshop/celebration flyer at the bottom of the signup form. Go all the way to the bottom below the "submit" button and you'll see a box with a pdf file name in it. Click on that and you'll see the flyer.
Thanks for helping to spread the word.

Flyer--still didn't find
Hi,
Thanks for your instructions, but there is no link under the submit button on the sign-up form page, unless you scroll all the way down to the bottom under sponsors, where there are links to information about the Vermont Business Roundtable but not to any kind of flyer about the Nov. 22 celebration. I've signed up, and since the deadline is today, Sunday, I will call my student's family to give them the news and information based on what I can find on the website.
Thanks anyway,
Eve
I think I'm going. I wasn't
I think I'm going. I wasn't sure, but I was talking to a teacher and she made me really want to come...
How long do you think the celebration will last? I have to be somewhere around 6:30-7 that Saturday. I might be able to get out of it if the party goes longer. But it would be helpful to know how long I should be expecting to stay.
Thanks.
-Maggie
yes
yes i am definitely going...what time should i be there?
Live...Love...Laugh...
arrive whenever . . .
. . . you want. If you want to come for the workshops, the schedule is at the top of this page. You can sign up by filling out the form that's got a link up there too.
If you want to come just for the celebration, that will start at 5:00 and should be over at around 6-6:30.
ahhh I can't go!
Can we do another one second semester? *makes puppy face*
