We're looking for first- and second-hand stories, compelling observations, and bits of original music and found sound.

Unless you're promoting a person, group or institution, anonymity is the norm at the Obscure News.

We're irresponsible, but we're not looking to get anyone in serious trouble. We edit out or change names to protect the guilty and the innocent.

Please send obscure stories, music and sound to:

• info@theobscurenews.com (emails & small mp3 files)
• Obscure News, PO box 6246, Libertyville, IL 60048 (hard copy & CDs)
• Call the Obscure News hotline and leave stories, reports, apologies, forgivenesses and jokes on voice mail, 773.326.3537 or 773.fameless
