what are the odds?

March 8, 2005 and March 24th, 101 slips of paper, black and white photos, fictional postcards and doodle-drawings were randomly placed in books at Collected Works on Wellington Street.

Two days after the first hit, a work colleague at the college I teach at approached me in the hallway holding a suspicious book. He had accidentally purchased a book that had a marker in it from the Finders Keepers project- and didn't know until he got home! To top it off-in a coincidental way- the marker in the book is a black and white photo of a group of street musicians:2 cellists, a person playing recorder and lute-my colleague is a musician and plays string instruments! Of the 101 artifacts placed in books so far- only one depicted people playing instruments of sorts.
