The Thing

It seems like all the cool things in the world are produced by one of the same five people. That is what I thought when I first heard about THE THING. Here is a description from the website:

THE THING is a quarterly periodical in the form of an object. Each year, four artists, writers, musicians or filmmakers are invited by the editors ( Jonn Herschend and Will Rogan ) to create an everyday object that somehow incorporates text. This object will be reproduced and hand wrapped in brown paper packaging by the editors and then mailed to the homes of the subscribers with the help of the United States Postal Service.

Oh man I want this so bad.

Who are the creative geniuses that come up with these ideas?! I wish I were that creative! But alas, I lack in that department.

I want this too.

But you don't know what it is. How can you know if you want it....or not? What am I not getting here?

If you really want to know what the 1st thing is, you can go to Miranda July's website. But I think it is more fun to be surprised.
