You packed the house for Davy Rothbart’s performance at the 2008 First Person Festival, and this spring, to celebrate the release of FOUND’s brand-new book, Requiem for a Paper Bag, intrepid FOUND road warriors Davy and Peter Rothbart are climbing back in the tour van for a 50-city cross-country odyssey.  On May 5th, they’ll steer that van into Philadelphia for the official launch date of the new book!

At the show, Davy (FOUND’s plucky point guard) will  share the latest magnificent and mesmerizing finds that’ve landed in the mailbox at FOUND HQ, plus hilarious found tales from contributors to the new book including Seth Rogen, Chuck D, Sarah Vowell, Devendra Banhart, and Weeds creator Jenji Kohan. Meanwhile, Davy’s brother Peter (FOUND’s international heartthrob) will dazzle with a glittering constellation of new breathtaking songs based on FOUND notes.

Guests at the cocktail party and reception afterward will have an opportunity to dig into the Found Magazine mailbag and open fresh submissions from around the world!
