Business was slow. I mean really slow. We (Stephanie and I ) got 4, maybe 5, secrets in the first 2 hours, but then came a group of 14 (±) year old boys (note all the confessions of liking girl music - come on, guys, we know you wear girl underwear, too admit it!) and it was like someone opened the flood gates; people started pouring in! Business was booming, and although we heard many " "No thank you's", "Haha, that's nice" and even one, "No hotdogs? No hamburgers? " between pouring cups of lemonade, within a few short hours our confessional box was busting at the seams.
We started with 3 gallons of lemonade and ended with half a gallon for a total of 29 secrets.

for some reason I find the misspelled one interesting - maybe you could take a pic of that one and start a new section for ...uh, "visually interesting" secret notes...?!
Originally we brought markers to THE STAND thinking there may be some people who would prefer to respond in a more artistic fashion but that whole element hasn't taken off. I love that idea and may at some point get around to suggesting people post artistic renderings to this site.
I've been debating your suggestion about posting photos of the notes. So much can be garnered by seeing script -not all of it accurate, of course, but accuracy is an issue that, like honesty, is in the eye of the beholder, and not something I see myself trying to ferret out. However, script also has the potential for identification and the most fundamental component of this entire experience (in my eyes) is that people's secrets are safe. We don't read them when they ride away, we don't peek over their shoulders when the write them. If they want their picture taken and posted on our site, terrific, but other than that, I am reluctant to link anyone in any way to a secret that they share with us. I'll probably write more about this in our ETHICS section as this is such an important issue in this era and is at the heart of this project. Thanks, though, for your suggestion. I totally agree with you that the misspelled ones are interesting.
