New York, NY
It's Done

Here is a place to leave comments about the dancing video.

Be gentle.

And yes, the site is a bit disheveled at the moment. It will get increasingly sheveled in the coming days. We are sheveling as fast as we can.

By "we," I'm referring to the kind, generous, and Canadian typealice, who is rebuilding my site with her bare hands from the island of Tortola.

...umm, a wee update from several months later. About a thousand comments got misplaced in the midst of some blog maintenance; everything from the release of the video on June 21st to mid-August. You would have seen them below, but now they're gone. Sorry about that. Feel free to replenish the supply.

In summary, folks seemed to like the video. So that's nice.

Your site looks great and the new video really makes one think. My dad found it and it made our day... heck it made our week. I put the video up on myspace hoping it would have the same affect on my friends. Don't stop making dance videos, they always bring joy and never get old. Thanks-
From,
Zach

Hi Matt, what making these seems to me to be worthy of admiration, I you envy boy all these countries, all these people, all these dances ... he is still a boy like that(this way) your these doing what we want to do many, since says Sinatra .. to live through the life to my way...
I wait to meet to dance soon in my city bilbao in spain mas known by his her museum Guggenheim visit this land that is very nice and the very cozy(hospitable) people surely that you are not upset with, continue this way and 10 for you!

Shari

I'm so sad you haven't come to dance in Canada... on our beautiful ocean shores in the summer, or at the heights of our Rocky Mountains in the winter or to kick through the brilliant colours of leaves in the fall. Please come dance in the most beautiful country in the world with the most beautiful people in the world! Viva Canada!

Ashkan

perry rifat

hi im 15 years old and came across this site and i think when i get older i want to do somthink like that but not dancing somthink diffrent im not sure what yet tho i think the video is exellent :)

Sherry

You've provided one of the most entertaining bits I've seen in a long time... A little bit clogger, a little bit soft-shoe, a little bit farmer in the dell and voila, you're a hit.
You do need to put a photo of your Darwinian Tubercle on the site - that would put my experience over the top!

Jessica

You're great :D But nyaah visit the Philippines and go to Luzon/Zambales :D
Oh, and do you play Counter Strike:Source >_> cause if you do.. let me have your steam name please

~Jess

Jon Hill

I thought this was cool. My only complaint was Guam, there were plenty of great things you could have danced in front of. Why rusted out cars. I hardly ever saw any when I was there and I went all over the island. Anyway I like the film.

Gianluca Mingo

Grande Matt!! la tua idea è stupenda e l'hai realizzata nel migliore dei modi.. BRAVO!

Great Matt! your idea is beautifull and you have realized it better than ever..
Those videos are simply fantastic and exiting!
Really Great!!

Good Luck!

Will

A simple, yet exceedingly cool idea...don't forget to come dance in Texas! Adios, amigo.

Richard

Welcome to Sweden!!!!!!!!!

Anthony

Wonderfullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Chan

hey matt
first of all, i like the dancing hehe. very cool.
I just went through ur journals and happen to found about ur trip to bangkok, thailand. its too bad that u didnt like it =( but it seem that u havent been to a good place in thailand.....well, acturlly u been in many very weird places there. O.o
well, most of the journal is about palau so, dont have much to do with thailand there. and u went to surat thani....thats like...the nothingness-for-tourist place
but however, if you decide to go back there some day, try royal palace, siam paragon, JJ market in bangkok or try contact Tourism Authority for outside bangkok area. btw, if u want to get around bangkok fast, take the sky train. I hope u go back there someday and acturlly have fun :D
Peace

PS: this year, thailand have "grand invitation" (as a honor for our king. yeah, we love our king). it mean there gonna be grand fastival for the whole year. check with tourism authority for info about when and where the fastival gonna start.

Score!

GReat work. Love the video and the music makes it. Best of luck and goodspeed.

Ian

I've never heard of this video before but I think that it just rejuvenated my life...I will be telling friends about it. It's a very beautiful thing.
