Pretty awesome video from the Sasquatch Festival 2009.
It exposes the spectrum of humanity. The lone guy who is either crazy, doesn’t give a shit and/or on drugs starting off something. A pioneer of sorts The couple folks who recognize him/it for what it is – FUN! – and then the sheep who pour in once it is “safe”.
I love that by the 2:00 mark it’s just hordes of people running over there to join in. Awesome. I love this stuff.
Once 5 or 6 years ago, about a dozen of us were wandering around SE Portland at about 3:30am after a show (or a house party, can’t remember which), sort of in the lazy come-down part of the evening, everyone’s in a comfortable good mood, and one guy started beatboxing and it starts the head nodding, and before you know it we’re all dancing and hooping in the street.
Then of course there was last Thursday’s impromptu dance party in the PGE concourse behind 107. Good times.
