Found Magazine’s Cavalcade of Thrills

Posted by Maximum Fun on 6th April 2006

Our beloved pals at Found Magazine just announced another of their world-famous nationwide tours. At each stop, they share and gather found materials… notes, pictures, letters, lists. Here’s the text of a found note they shared in their announcement:

BOCCE is good for letting go of your problems. It is a beautiful day, let go of your problems as you let go of your balls. Clutch the balls and really work them over in your palms until you have gathered up all of your negativity and let the balls spread it back into the earth. The earth is there for you to talk to and let go of your balls on.

They’re headed to 33 cities in May and June, including San Francisco, LA, NY, Seattle, and 29 places in between.

Also, founder Davy Rothbart is a contributor to This American Life, and his piece on meeting Mr. Rogers re-runs this week on public radio stations across the country. You can hear it online here. The first time I heard it (I didn’t know Davy then), I cried. Also the second time.

And I’m no cry-baby.
