2011 Post Secret Tour
Around this time last year, I had the opportunity of meeting Frank Warren – the founder and creator of Post Secret – at my school during his speaking tour. It was an incredibly moving event that I think had an impact on just about everyone that attended. Frank is back on the road again though so if he’s coming to a college near you, I definitely recommend that you come out for it. It is amazing to see how far this project has gone and I am just in awe over Frank Warren’s work. I feel a little odd saying that because his work is actually the work and design of others.
For all of the dates, visit the Post Secret website.

Favorite Post Secrets of the Week
I got really excited about this one because I thought I knew the person that submitted it. Then I found out that the Beaver Stadium is located in Pennsylvania.

Found
I was at Elliott Bay Book Co. a couple weeks ago and was lucky enough to find someone’s secret within the most recent Post Secret book “Confessions on Life, Death, and God.” This isn’t the first time that I’ve found one – but it’s still special regardless. I’ve heard stories of some people buying the book in which they have found the secret in or even taking the secret with them, but I didn’t want to do either of those things. I didn’t have any intention of buying the book so I figured it should be left there for the next person or so to find.
I tried to search the artist, but found nothing. I mean…I guess that’s the point isn’t it?
Have any of you found a Post Secret? What did it say?

“Free Your Secrets and Become Who You Are”
Frank Warren said that he has been deemed the most trustworthy person in the world. He is also the best listener.
It was such a treat to host Frank Warren at our school last night. He is kind and wise. Most importantly, he is a truly inspirational human being. For those of you who don’t know, Frank Warren created his project Post Secret in 2005. He invited people from all over the world to send him their secrets on a post card anonymously. In just five years, he has received over 500,000 postcards. Every Sunday, anxious fans click on the Post Secret blog first thing in the morning for the new batch of released secrets. With these creations, he has been able to compile five books. Five years under Frank’s belt, the project has proved to be a success.
Seattle University was the first school on his Spring 2010 event tour. For many people tonight, it was their first time ever having the opportunity to hear him speak, myself included. I’ve been reading Post Secret since I was fifteen and I can still recall my memories and experiences with this project. They range from the time I invited the students of my high school to send in their own Post Secrets for our school newspaper to the time I sat in Barnes & Noble at U Village reading through one of Frank’s books when two little pieces of paper fell out – a secret on each of them from the time I sat in Borders on Black Friday three years ago tossing my own secrets into the books.
Tonight’s speech was truly extraordinary. I had heard a lot about his tour before, but tonight was much different than I expected. It was powerful and strong and unique. I imagine that each location he goes to is very different from the next. We were a quiet group, relaxed, but eager to make sure we heard every single word that came out of Frank. Thank you Student Activities for such a great event, and thank you to the audience for sharing with us your stories. Your strength and courage are extremely admirable. I think everyone walked out of the ballroom tonight with a very comforting feeling and an experience that we are able to share with each other.
Hands down…best part of the night was when Max and I got to meet him and have him sign our books and take pictures. I managed to ask one of my questions…
People rely on Frank for so much. Every Sunday, secrets better be up or something has gone wrong we assume. However, the project is so successful right now, there is no way he can stop. Here’s how the conversation kind of went…
Me: Do you think Post Secret will ever end?
Frank: Well, I’ve been doing it for five years and I enjoy it. As of right now I don’t think anytime soon…
Max: Would you maybe pass the reigns onto your son? You have a son right?
Me: Daughter.
Frank: I have a daughter. I don’t know, would maybe you guys want to take over and be the secret keepers?
Me: YES!

Somehow Max also managed to plug my blog. The whole time talking to Frank, all I wanted to do was ask him for an interview for Yow Yow!

He’s coming. THE FRANK WARREN, creator of the well-known project Post Secret, is coming to Seattle University on Thursday, January 14th at 7 PM. We are so lucky to be a part of his Spring 2010 event tour. I think everyone here is more than a little bit excited about this.
If you don’t know what Post Secret is…WAKE UP.
Enlighten yourself here
This is a free event and for Seattle University students. You will be admitted by your ID and are allowed to bring one guest (non-Seattle University student) per ID. Students will be given priority first before outside guests will be allowed in as there is a limited amount of space.
Following the talk, Frank will be signing copies of his book.
