Found Magazine

So yesterday I was listening to This American Life and they had Davy Rothbart on, the founder of the magazine Found Magazine (if you have RealPlayer, you can listen to the show here). I'd heard of this magazine before, but never really understood what it was all about. But basically what they do is collect found items ("love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework, to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles- anything that gives a glimpse into someone else's life") from readers and publish them in their magazine.

Rothbart cracked me up in his reading of some of these found items (he has this weird, 7th-grade nerd snort whenever he laughts) and the items were funny as hell. So check his magazine out, bitches. Carry on.
