жизнь пунктуалиста в пингвинятнике

Перепост приветствуется. Shall we dance badly with Matt?
Помните чувака, который на видео танцует в разных уголках нашей планеты, один или с кем-то?
Если нет, то смотрите видео ниже. Под катом его письмо мне и другим людям, которые выразили в прошлом году желание появиться с ним на видео. Этот парень будет танцевать в Питере и Москве :

Само письмо:подробностиWhere the Hell is Matt in Russia!

Мне жаль, что это письмо на английском языке. Я попытаюсь
отправить перевод в ближайшее время.

If someone would be kind enough to reply to this email with a Russian
translation, we will send it out as soon as possible.

If you're getting this email, you've either written to me or signed-up
on my site to be notified when I'll be in your area. Well, I'm coming
to St. Petersburg and Moscow to include them in my new dancing video.
This is an invitation to come out and join me.

I apologize for not giving you more notice for these events. I
struggled to decide on the best location for the Moscow event and that
is the cause of the delay.

In this new video, I'm actually learning how to dance, so I'll be
showing some easy moves and asking people to follow along. But
don't worry. I'm still not very good at dancing so you don't have to
be either. Just remember to smile and have fun.

If you want to pass this around to friends, there are Facebook event

Meet-up Info:
I will be there, no matter what the weather is.

When you get to the spot, look for the guy who looks like the guy in
the dancing video. Just come on over, say hello, and ask if I am Matt.
If I'm not Matt, I will let you know.

Before we dance, I will need to get your legal permission to appear in
the video. I'll shout some legal-sounding stuff on camera and you can
just nod and give me a thumbs up if you're okay with it. Kids under
18, please bring a parent or guardian, or at least bring a photo of
one of their thumbs to hold up (just kidding, don't do that).

I can't guarantee the clip we shoot will end up in the final video.
There will be a lot of footage to choose from and some of it will not
be used.

Wearing distinctive clothing will make it easier to spot yourself in
the video, but please do not dress as a licensed character (Mario,
Spider-Man, Sarah Palin) or I will have to blur you and that will make
everyone think you showed up naked or something. Also, please do
not show up naked.

I don't have a sponsor for this video. I am self-funding the
production. I sell a book I wrote about the videos and a T-shirt that
says "I Danced With Matt" when I travel to help pay for the costs, but
I am already sold out for this trip. If you'd still like a signed book
or shirt, you can order both items from my site and I will sign and
send them to you when I get home:
store.wherethehellismatt.com/

You're welcome to bring your own camera to take a picture for your
Facebook page or whatever you'd like. After the shoot, I'll stick
around for as long as anyone is waiting. I'm happy to dance with you
in your own picture/video, so don't hesitate to ask, but I do request
that you wait until we're finished shooting because I'll be very busy
until then.

I know Russia is the biggest country in the world and a lot of you are
nowhere near St. Petersburg or Moscow. I can
only put together so many of these events, so I pick the cities
where I've received the most emails and I try to invite people to
the event that's closest to them.

Help Wanted:
I am looking for a camera operator to help out with these shoots. If
you know your way around a Canon 7D and won't mind being behind
the camera instead of in front of it, please let me know. There may be
more than one of you volunteering, so if you could present yourself
in one or two sentences, that would help me choose.

I am also looking for a step ladder so I can get the camera up over
peoples' heads and see more faces in the shot. When the camera is low,
I can only see the first row of dancers and that is no good. I bring a
ladder along
when I can, but that won't be possible this time. If you feel up to
dragging a ladder along with you, or if you have something else that I
can place a tripod and cameraperson on to get higher,
please let me know. I will attempt to arrange for two ladders, in
case one of them doesn't show up, so don't be annoyed if you see
someone else lugging one around as well.

Want Matt to Come Dance With Your Group?
I'm trying to include all sorts of dances with all kinds of groups
this time. If you or someone you know ispart of a group that's
willing to meet up and perform with me, please reply with a
description and I'll see if I can fit it into the schedule. I will
have some extra time in both cities, and I would love to capture more
of Russian culture through dance. If you can organize ballet dancers
or a hip hop group, a retirement home, a class of school children, or
anything at all, I am interested to hear about it.

Final Notes:
If you can, please click "I'm Attending" on Facebook if you plan to
attend, so we have a rough idea of how many dancers to expect.
If you're not on Facebook, don't worry about it. You're not missing
anything.

We're hoping to put the final video up on the Internet in early 2012.

Okay, that's everything.

I look forward to dancing badly with you!

-Matt
