I've been going to this site every sunday for a long time now.
It's funny, heart-wrenching, insightful...it's pretty amazing.

Very cool. So do they update it every week?

Re: Gotta secret?

Yeah. I think it's updated every Sunday.

Re: Gotta secret?

That's awesome. I saw a music video that had people hold up pieces of paper with their "dirty little secret" on it. That's the name of the song

Re: Gotta secret?

yep, new ones posted each week. There's no archive, so you need to tune in each week to see what's up.

They have travelling exhibits...one just ended, but I forget which city it was in.

Re: Gotta secret?

I bought the book as a gift for a friend. It's a great and beautiful book (I would recommend it for anyone), but made me cry a bunch of times. The compiler wrote about how it just proves that the things that make us feel so alienated and different are pretty much the same for everyone; it's so true.

The last exhibit was here in Georgetown. I just missed it but I heard it was fabulous.

Re: Gotta secret?

I've been a Post Secret fan for a long time. I agree - it really is heartwrenching, inspiring, .....human.

jsj- All those postcards/pictures/etc from the video Dirty Little Secret came directly from Post Secret. I've seen most of the ones in the video there at some point or another!

Yep, kinda creepy! And the creepiest one last week was the guy/girl who steals other people's pics when they take them to be developed.

Re: Gotta secret?

I can relate to the post card about the stamp increase! I didn't even know the price was increasing and I bought a roll of 37 cent stamps about 2 weeks before the increase!

The PETA one is thought-provoking too.

Re: Gotta secret?

I used to hang out at an Anti Peta site -- that fact was brought up constantly to the poor Peta kids that wandered in there and also by the kids on Peta2. I thought that was especially good because of who the author was! And it is a very valid point!

Re: Gotta secret?

I should start keeping track of them but I think the sad post cards outnumber the happy ones (or it could be the sad ones are the ones I remember the most)
