Where the hell is Matt? In Dublin!

Owen

Matt, from the where the hell is Matt, is coming to Dublin on June 3rd, and is inviting people to come along to be in the video :

Hi folks,

If you're getting this email, you've either written to me and
mentioned where you live, or you've signed-up on my site to be
notified. I'm coming to Dublin, Ireland soon to shoot a clip for my
new dancing video. This is an invitation to come out and join me.

I'll be dancing at 5:00 pm on June 3rd, 2007. The location is
Fusiliers' Arch in the North-West corner of St. Stephen's Green in
Dublin.
Attached is a photo of the spot. Here's a link to the Google map:

The last video was about places. This one is really about people. So I'm not
too concerned about the background. I just want a place where people can
gather peaceably and dance badly without getting arrested.

I know you don't all live close to this location. All I can say is Ireland is
really big, the world is a whole lot bigger, and I can only spend a bit of
time in each place. Anyway, we hope to get a nice crowd, so we picked
a spot that was accessible to as many people as
possible.

Please reply to this email if you plan to attend and let us know how many
people you think you'll be bringing. It will help to give us an idea of how
many to expect.

Boring details below. Read no further if you can't make it:

Please print out the attached release form and sign it ahead of time, if
possible. If you don't have a printer, please come 30 minutes early
so we can give you a copy to sign.

We'll also need to take a photo of each participant before the dance and
attach it to the release form so we can identify everyone in the video.

If you are under 18, you MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian who can
sign the release form and be photographed with you. Sorry, but I can't make
this video without a sponsor, and those are the rules I have to follow in
order to use the footage.

Feel free to invite friends to come with you and dance. Just make sure
everyone is okay with signing the release form.

It will take some time to process each person, so depending on how many
show up, we may have to stop accepting forms at some point and shoot
the video. Please make sure you're on time.

I'll try to be on time too...but no promises.

The whole thing shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to shoot. We'll set up
the shot, dance for about 15 seconds, then do it one more time for good
measure.

Dance however you want.

We're planning to put the final video up on the internet on June 21st, 2008.
It's a long way away, I know, but I've got a lot of traveling to do.

I can't guarantee that the clip we shoot will end up in the final video.
There'll be a lot of footage to choose from and some of it will not be
used. You're welcome to bring your own camera and have someone take
pictures, though.

I look forward to dancing badly with you!

Maybe he'll be in Edinburgh when we're there?
Stranger things have happened! :-)

WindSock

Can anybody Irish damhsa? I can't but it'd be funny to have a riverdance style a la Father Ted in the caravan or something.

Owen

I think there should be the main group dancing, then suddenly from left to right, a load of lads holding each others shoulders (If you know what I mean) do riverdance from left to right.

RawK

YEah i got the email this morning and im ANNOYED that i WONT be in the country, Im going to Rock am Ring and wont be back until the Day AFTER!!!

which kinda sucks because when i first read about it, i sent the request list to 100+ friends and people in work to sign it, to get the numbers up in hope that he's come here...

URGH, i must have done something to deserve this bad karma!

FX Meister

That moron is coming to dublin. Think I'll have to go along to hurl some eggs at him.
Actually forget that, I'll just dance like a moron in fron of him.

Zaph

FX Meister

Thankfully, most of them will be stuck behind a computer 40 odd hours a week, (and prob most of the evening too), so they probably won't get chance to go.

drdre

This guy is great

Scarinae

I'd definitely go along! It would be so funny and I'm not doing anything else that day

Yeah, he travels around the world having fun. What a loser!

DarkJager

I'll go just so I can dance my foot up his ass!

Degsy

In fairness he's taking his life in his hands coming to Dublin..he should dance round summerhill and see waht occurs to him!

DarkJager

No no, he should come to Limerick and dance in the middle of Moyross!! I'm sure the boys down here would give him a very warm welcome!

Katykaboom

Im so there. SO SO there. I thinks he's the biz.

yeah fair enough, he might not be entertaining to some people.
but entertainment aside, do you not think it's really cool how he's gotten to see so much of the world?

Judging from the photos it was only some of Dublin's homeless that turned up then?
