While in Dublin, Amy and I were persuaded off the street into a church where a small group from Michigan where holding a literary reading! Sounds intriguing, right? You wouldn't believe that when we entered, a guy was swallowing swords! Then he did the same with a long screwdriver and a jagged medieval sword and finally he ATE a long balloon!!!! That'll be an interesting deposit in the morning!!! So anyway, back to the literary event. This guy Davy was reading from his magazine and recently published book of the same material. It is called Found. Basically for years this guy, friends and family and now strangers from all over are finding scraps of paper/pictures whatever and collecting them. Davy changes the names of some and then posts/publishes them. His talented (... & handsome) brother Peter even used these findings as inspiration for songs. So far "Bus or Beer" and "Booty dont stop" are my favorites.
I'm not sure that I agree with this concept 100%, but its very touching,humorous and sweet more often than not. I would think that some people recognize these misplaced/tossed aside/throw away items. Makes you think again what you put down on paper and throw away! you never know where it might end up!!!
