FOUND Magazine's Spring Break Tour 2008

It's cold in Michigan. So FOUND Magazine's Davy Rothbart is packing up his bag of finds and heading south with a few friends for a week of early Spring Break madness! No tits will be shown, but that doesn't mean things won't get rowdy -- Brett Loudermilk will swallow swords, McSweeney's Eli Horowitz and John Brandon will read from their new books, and Davy will unveil his favoritest brand-new finds. Bring your finds, bring your friends, and bring your drinks, and join us for some fun in the sun!
