Interview for article about Smart Cars

Hi there,

I'm a student at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. For a reporting assignment that will not be published outside of Medill, I am writing an article about Smart Cars and their rising popularity, particularly in the Chicago area.

I was wondering if you would be willing and able to let me interview you briefly about your experience with the Smart Car and why you chose to purchase one. It would be a great help to me.

Per Medill regulations, I would need to conduct the interview by phone. I know that this is very random, and you may not feel comfortable doing so, so I completely understand. However, if you are, I would really appreciate it.

My email address is lpvandenbos@northwestern.edu, if you please email me there, particuarly if you live in the Chicago area.

Thank you very much for your time,

Peter Vanden Bos
Medill School of Journalism
Northwestern University

Met with Peter yesterday

(along with my son, who is also a college student). Poor guy hoofed it via a bus from NW Univ, turns out he's from L.A. (the land of many, many smarts). We had a short chat (on video tape no less) at the Oakton CC campus in Des Plaines yesterday afternoon. I tried to alert some others via PM but I guess folks were otherwise occupied or camera shy. This interview will only be limited to his class but hopefully our smarts will get more air time as gas prices continue to rise (especially as we seem to be ranked as the highest in the country as of late!).
