An event not to be missed, America’s “most trusted stranger,” Frank Warren, will bring his most inspirational stories and secrets to Ann Arbor this Friday. Warren is the mastermind behind PostSecret, a community art project he started in 2004 that has since exploded into numerous publications across the globe and the largest ad-free blog, PostSecret.com, where every Sunday new secrets are posted.

“When I started PostSecret my motive was to create a “place” where people could feel free to share their private hopes, desires and fears,” says Warren, “A place where the secrets they could not tell their friends and family would be treated with dignity in a non-judgmental way.”

PostSecret is a place not only for those to share their own secrets but for readers as well who identify with those secrets, possibly giving them the courage to release their own. Even Warren himself was inspired to send his own secret on a postcard to his house about a supressed childhood incident. The secrets sent in are so personal, heartfelt, and insightful that the ones you identify with make you feel that you are not alone.
His fall tour to colleges across the U.S. coincides with the release of his new book, “Confessions on Life, Death, and God,” which will also be available for signing during the event. Warren says the live events usually consist of background on the project as well as display of postcards that were banned by the publisher, and also a chance for audience members to share their own secrets in an open atmosphere.
If you’ve got something to get off your chest, or you just plain love PostSecret, I highly suggest you get your tickets asap. Tickets are still available through MUTO or on the ticketmaster website.
