Post Secret

Last week Jason, Sam and I all took a nice little road trip to Logan to see the PostSecret event. It was held at Sam's old stomping grounds, USU.

We got dinner beforehand at a deeeeelish little place called Cafe Sabor. It was awesome mexican food...some of the best I have had in a while.

The salsa was soooo good. It was all warm and roasted-y and delicious. Jason didn't like it, but he is kind of a salsa snob.

As delicious as our food was, the service was a little strange. We ordered our meals, and the waitress brought out our drinks and salsa. She then immediately brought over 3 wrapped up fresh, warm tortillas. She quickly explained that they were to go with Jason's meal. We figured that meant we were getting FAST service, woo hoo!!

or, not.

It took 15-20 more minutes for our food to arrive, all the while the fresh tortillas just sat there. She seemed so rushed to get them to us, with no food.

All of us posing with the really random tortillas.

AAAND the food. Huge burritos, steak tacos, yummmmm.

After dinner, we made our way to USU. We got awesome parking right next to the building, and front row seats!


One of Jason's (several) failed attempts to catch a photo of Frank Warren, the founder of Post Secret.

If you have never read Post Secret before, you should! Frank started it as more of an art project a few years ago, when he sent out blank postcards and asked people to mail their secrets back. It has since gone worldwide, with hundreds of secrets sent every day.

Frank posts secrets every Sunday on the blog. Some are depressing, some are funny, some are eye-opening. He has also published hundreds of secrets in several different books. If you ever get a chance to go to one of these events, you should. (Provided it is close. 2 hours was a long drive, and while I don't regret going, I don't think that I would drive that far to see it again.)
Frank talks about how Post Secret got started, some of his own secrets, the impact it has made, etc. The mindset behind it is if you keep your secrets, you can never move past them, and never grow from them. You need to tell your secrets to someone, even if it is completely anonymous.
