Last Chance: Mortified Portland Like Totally Wants You

Fresh from DC and Austin, we're just putting the final touches on our list of readers we're scheduled to meet with for Mortified Portland.

Request a screening session now and share your most embarrassing childhood letters, lyrics, journals, poetry, art, novellas, comics, home movies and more. We look forward to hearing the very best of your very worst. So if you or a friend are curious, our screening sessions are very casual and fun. Contact us to arrange a session, as we'd love to meet.

Psst! New Post Secret Video

Remember a few years ago when Secret antiperspirant ripped off PostSecret.com with an ad campaign? No? Good. Hopefully the video below will continue to induce said amnesia.

Our friend Frank, who runs the always inspiring Post Secret project, just completed a new video that we think is pretty damn cool. Since Mortified and Post Secret are sorta in the same creative universes (or is that universi?), we figured you might get a kick out of it, too.

In addition to being cool, it's also a great example of the ways in which grassroots projects like ours are using technology in innovative ways to spread the good word. Which, to scrappy organizations like ours, is just as inspiring as the content itself. Enjoy.
