Alright, so my whole pumpkin idea really doesn't look like it's going to pan out. Several others are doing similar, but better stories, so I decided to just find something completely different. So today I'm listening to the bear and i heard a great breaking news story. Apparently there is a new law that says if you get banned from any one of the fourteen bars in Portsmouth, then you are banned from all of them, for a period of up to a year. This law went into effect Friday, September 19 when two people refused to leave a bar and called the owner "vulgar names", according to Sgt. Corey MacDonald. These violations are known as "trespass notifications", which even if not signed, like in the case already at hand, are binding. The names of the two people and the bar have not been disclosed.
I think this is a great new story opportunity. This is a big step for the Live Free or Die state, especially since Portsmouth is locally renowned as a college town, and thus, a drinking town. I could talk to the officer and see if he would cooperate with me and give me some names or locations. I think this should be a good one.

Jon,
As for your new idea, certainly sounds newsy. We should talk about the various multimedia possibilities. Could be tricky.
As for your slideshow, you have some outstanding stuff in there. And the photo you took of your classmate last week is very cool, if very strange.
In your slide show, I see some very creative work, as in the shot of the woman at a table taken from above and the guy sitting on the wall, and some really nice portraiture, such as the couple sharing an ipod on the lawn.
Your scenics show a nice sense of balance and design.
I would like to see a blog about the whole experience -- what worked, what didn't, how you felt about the whole thing, etc. Please let me know when you've added that.
Nice work.
Sandy
