Damn, the booty don't stop...
The other nite, I went to the Found and PostSecret event at Golden West Cafe in Hampden with Isabel and Derek. What I riot! Frank Warren from PostSecret is kind of a serious guy. While some of the postcards are hilarious, he kind of has this sense of reverance and awe about his project.
The Found guys, Davey and Peter Rothbart, on the other hand, are more performance based... Davy has done with with NPR/This American Life and Peter is a musician and they have a great stage presence. Davey read a bunch of of funny found notes and stuff and Peter performed a remake of "The booty don't stop", which was a "song" (term used loosely) on a cassette tape found by one of their friends.
Derek mentioned that Found made him think about the fact we are such a disposable society. He thought about stuff that he had as a kid or in the past - pictures, letters, toys, etc. - that are no longer around and how its kind of sad to have lost those things. He said it gives him hope that there are people who act as the gatherers and sharers of the mundane moments in stranger's lives.
Afterwards, we went to Cafe Hon and I had chocolate cake. Overall a fun and profound evening.
