I had briefly mentioned this project early but decided it was worthy of a full blog post!
The 1000 Journals Project was started in August of 2000 by a man that was fascinated with bathroom stall graffiti. He began by disposing 100 journals in San Francisco to friends, family and by leaving them at random places, since then 900 more journals have been passed around. The purpose of the journals is to allow people to be open and not fear criticism for their drawings, poetry, thoughts, etc. Once you add your piece of the puzzle to the journal you then pass it on to a friend or stranger. So keep your eye out for a lonely journal.
If you would like to view some of the entries there is a book available on amazon.
