The Post Secret Project Comes To Fort Collins

April 7th, 2008 Daryle Dickens Posted in Event |

Do you have a secret? The postcard asks. I know the question is rhetorical, we all have secrets. Frank Warren, the creator of PostSecret.com knew that too, so he is asked us to share. Starting in 2004 he asked people to put a secret on a homemade postcard and mail it to him with only two rules. The secret must be completely truthful and it must have never been revealed to anyone before. Since he started he has collected more than 150,000 postcards. This month he is coming to Fort Collins to talk to us about them.

Thanks to Beet Street Mr. Warren will be at the Northside Aztlan Community Center April 26th from 7 to 9 PM.

The concept of Post Secret is so simple but the project itself is powerful. Check out this short video to get an idea of what people create:
