 What is Existence Day, you ask? It’s an international holiday for celebrating existence and the brainchild of Baltimore’s own Nicholas Tobolski.
What makes Existence Day different than any other holiday? For starters, children will not be lied to about chocolate-bearing bunnies or chubby old men who have a nasty habit of breaking and entering. You will not be expected to gorge or starve yourself. Forget uncomfortable family situations and expensive gifting obligations. The only thing you do on Existence Day is…. Whatever you damn well please. See how these people celebrated their existence. Photo by Nicholas Tobolski. Tara Murphy, Lisa Ali, Eric Anderson, Alison Ege Wallace, Zeb Blair and Amie Yoon Hye.
Every April 21st from this year forward, you’ll be celebrating your existence like these guys. You’ll remember because it’s sandwiched between Earth Day and 4/20 (this means you, mischievous readers who partake in all that dastardly “tree planting” on “Earth Day”). Photo by Lisse De Oliveira. Eric Anderson, Lisa Ali, Amie Yoon Hye and Nicholas Tobolski. Want the full issue? |
