Ben Muller sent us word of I Got an Envelope, a social art project where people leave empty self-addressed envelopes in random places. The hope is that some (ideally not malevolent) person will come across the envelope, fill it with magical things, and send it back to the owner.

Charming. Or not:

One guy just walked by our desk, peered down at what we were covering, smirked and said “I’d sprinkle coal on a note with the words, ‘YOU DON’T BELONG.’ Written in lipstick.”

Seems disturbingly like he thought that through beforehand.
