Secrets and Jet Blue

First of all, thanks to sherin, here's an invitation to participate very easily, for the price of a postcard and postage, in what might be a cool installation in london:

Hello all,

I'm working on a sound installation right now for which I need people to anonymously send me a secret. I would greatly appreciate it if you could write a secret on a postcard and send it to me. The postcards need not be fancy as they themselves will not be shown rather the secret itself will be recorded. Please forward this e-mail onto anyone who might be interested.

Thank you in advance for your time,
Sincerely,
Piper Mavis

There was an online project that was similar to this at some point, wasn't there? I seem to recall a website of photos of 'secret' postcards put together by some artist or other (don't know if it was piper or not).

And now this goes out to abner g.: it's a youtube response to the jet blue apology that took up a full page of the times and has been plastered all over the internet. It's disturbing and somehow hilarious too - kind of video redneck equivalent of the crazy people on the subway. With ac/dc music!

Yeah - maybe i should have put more of a warning on that... ;) but did you not think it was funny? Like when he takes his shirt off and says that he's done and then goes on for another minute-and-a-half. And supports jet blue? Toothlessly?!

that guy was a riot! even though i see it everyday on the subway, i can't get enough of it, which must explain why i live in new york... :)

if you're interested in mail art, this is a good site for open calls for participation (http://mailart.org/)
and there are a number of art blogs that post mail art (http://a1mailart.blogspot.com/)... almost makes me want to carve out a rubber stamp..
