Dancing Matt dances Wallingford

  • Post author:

You know the story: guy is traveling around Asia, does a little jig on camera for a friend, posts it the Internet. For reasons that not even The Google could provide, the video gets passed around until said dancer is “quasi-famous”. At some point, a gum company sponsors him to continue traveling around the world, dancing his little jig in as many and as many places as possible (80 countries at last count).

Ringing any bells? Does this help?

Perhaps this video has inspired you to quit your job and get sponsored by a gum company to travel the world dancing somewhat ineptly? If so, then you will certainly want to go see Matt talk tomorrow night, Tuesday 5/19, 7 – 8 pm at Wide World Books and Maps (4411 Wallingford Ave N).

While he will nominally be introducing his new book, Where the Hell is Matt?: Dancing Badly Around the World, I’m sure he will also reveal the secret to becoming an Internet sensation.

Better than hampsters, people.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
