This is a very interesting idea. "Pay As You Drive" (PAYD) Insurance. Low-mileage drivers are less likely to get into an accident. Not because they are better drivers, but because they are on the road less. But low-mileage drivers pay as much as very high mileage drivers for the same insurance.
Apparently Progressive will start offering a PAYD option in six states to see how it works. I predict success. If Washington is one of the six states, I would certainly consider transferring from my current provider, as I am a very low mileage driver.

Have you asked your current provider about lower rates for lower mileage? I believe many insurance providers at least give a lower rate for your vehicle if it is a low mileage vehicle. But probably much of the time they just punch in an "average value" for miles per year... Could be wrong on this, though.
hey erik,
my name is christopher wood. i'm from tacoma, and i'm writing an article for the volcano weekly about the 72-hr film contest this year. i wanted to get different people's perspectives on the contest, particularly people who have participated in the past. since you have won in the past, i thought i should contact you. below is a list of informal questions i compiled for the article. and i can use your soundbytes in my article. your answers dont have to be lengthy. just write them out and send me back the email (cwood123@clearwire.net). if you're not clear with what i mean in certain questions just let me know. if you have time, please try to send me back the info by wednesday april 23rd.
thanks a lot. i appreciate you helpin me out.

(the questions
1. ) How did you get involved with the 72-Hour Film Contest?
2. ) Would you recommend this contest to people interested in participating?
If so, why?
3. ) Did you have any challenges during the weekend that you can remember,
and if so, how did you deal with them?
4. ) What's the best part about joining the contest? (besides winning of course)
5. ) What are your plans for winning again this year? Any secret strategies you'd like to divulge?
6. ) Do you find that with this contest, since you're really constrained by time, it helps to have a plan? Or do you enjoy wingin' it more on set?
7. ) Any advice you'd give to people doing the contest for the first time? Strategies for winning, or just advice on how to survive these crazy 72 hours?
8. ) Any add'l comments about the contest in general?
9. ) Do you think this contest benefits the film community in the South Sound, or the Tacoma community in general?
