Found Founder Flounders at the Drake
Despite the headline, we don’t expect Found Mag founder Davy Rothbart to flounder in the slightest when he reads from the latest Found book at the Drake at 7pm tonight. Found is basically a repository for lost ephemera, found by Davy, or mailed in by others who share his affinity for lost scraps of life and love. His brother Peter plays purportedly loopy tunes in the background, and Rothbart invites audience members to share their favorite finds. Torontoist has lingered over the Found materials since issue one (at right). The misspellings, the humour, the seemingly timeless photos – how do people lose these things, you have to wonder, looking at a particularly vitriolic letter or revealing photo. But their loss is our gain. And it’s free, so you can even shell out for an overly cleverly named beverage.
