This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen on the internet.

You can read about Matt and this video here. There are so many things I love about this, but most of all I love the fullness of humanity, the joy, and the sheer abandonment that it captures. I want to meet Matt one day, as he lives in Seattle. You can see Gas Works Park in the end of the video.

    Unbelievably cool. I kept asking myself, “how heck does he get to these places?”

    Amazing. I agree with Jimmy, I think it’s impossible to watch this video and not crack a smile.

    If I was previously on the fence about our “potential best friend” status, my doubts have been silenced. From Matt’s FAQ:

    What’s your least favorite [place]?

    The Totem Lake Shopping Center in Kirkland, Washington. It’s the most depressing place I’ve ever been. I almost didn’t make it out. I think it might be some kind of gateway to the netherworld.

    That really made my day. Truly. My reaction seems to be similar to others…tears in my eyes. A big smile. A few laughs. I think I’ll pass this one on.

    Thanks, Josh.

    I had actually seen one of his videos before, but completely forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me, must make blog post now.

    I vow to say that not even The Longbrake himself travels that much.

    ooooh those dance moves!

    Very cool!! That just brings such a big smile to my face. Great to see as it finishes, it is no longer about him dancing.
