The DC 14th St NW dancing guy..
by Rattle at 12:21 pm EST, Jan 30, 2008

Every downtown area has it's local color. DC is no exception. In the area where I work, there is this guy who dances in circles down the middle of 14th Street every day hooting, hollering, and rocking out to his headphones. And by middle of the street, I mean directly in the middle of the street. He tends to stop in the middle of intersections and dance as the traffic goes around him. The police in the area pay him no mind.. The scene tends to invoke statements from bystanders along the lines of "is that guy crazy?"

Yesterday when I was walking back from getting a coffee, he was over toward the side of the road, so I asked him how long he has been doing this. The answer: 1984.

This guy should be a tourist attraction..

Reminds me of Baton Bob in Atlanta, or East Atlanta's rock-out rollerskater. I love public dancers.

An IM about this:

friend: there's another guy like that in hackensack
me: heh
friend: except it's all day and only on streetcorner
me: ahhh...maybe hes a drug dealer or a prostitute
friend: are you kidding? the drug dealers won't go near him...ditto for tricks
me: or an alien trying to signal his people and find a way home
friend: more likely
me: well.. process of elimination
