About my new project, "The Beckoning of Lovely"
 I invite you to watch and then participate in this project. It's oh so hard to explain the whole thing. Best thing to do is start by watching this, the short film that launched it all:

And then, if you are so inclined, see where the project is now heading, and maybe even apply for a key "cabinet" position!

Lost and Found
The Chicago, Boston and San Francisco installments of the Lost and Found Project are now complete. 150 books were "intentionally left" around each city by a team of 20 friends/Book Hiding Specialists. They left them in places like the freezer at grocery store, shelf at Blockbuster, in the arms of a statue. Quite a few people wrote in to share their (often serendipitous) story of where & when they found the book. Filmmaker Steve Delahoyde documented the hiding of the first batch of Chicago books in this two-minute short film.
