Frank Warren’s PostSecret Tour
Atone for your sins at a mass confession session this Thursday.
Overview
If you’re anything like me, confessing your deepest and most private secrets to an audience of over six million people each month is a concept more terrifying than being forced into Delta’s group on The Voice. Thanks to Frank Warren’s anonymous submission based blog The PostSecret Project, I am free to admit I never actually watched the KONY 2012 video. I feel better already! Warren will wax lyrical on the atheist's answer to the confession box at Hamer Hall this Thursday, as part of a national tour.
Conceived in 2005 as a community art project, the premise of PostSecret is simple — people send Warren their honest, untold secrets on a decorated postcard, to be displayed each month on the website as a collection of admissions. Eight years later and the project has received over 500,000 postcards, spanning the hysterical, the horrifying and the downright heart breaking. I thought hiding the fact that I’ve been strategically eating my flat mate’s gourmet yoghurt was a cross to bear.
Tickets to see honest bloke Warren hold court are just $32 for students and $44 for adults; a small price to pay to see the person Forbes ranked fourth on their list of the most influential people on the whole of the Internet. It’s the biggest bargain in town, but don’t tell anyone lest the secret should get out. Honesty isn’t always the best policy.
