We caught up today with Matt Harding, dancin' world traveller. Matt is the man of 9 million hits for his YouTube video, Where The Hell is Matt? And this weekend, the Connecticut native who calls Seattle home came home, wrapping up World Tour No. 3.
Matt Harding returned to Seattle this weekend and performed a world-tour finale jig at Gasworks Park on the north side of Lake Union. (Photos from kelita on http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelita13/)
The finale will be featured in his next Where the Hell is Matt? video, which by all accounts is scheduled to appear on his website June 21.
Here is the Q & A with Matt, who was nice enough to email right back:
A. Well, uh, I'd probably credit all of the "sophisticated" stuff to other people. I hired a web design company to remake my site about a year ago. They made it look all fancy.
Google put it together.
A. Nope, but since you mention it, my girlfriend is a recruiter at Google.
A, I feel like I'm pretty much here to stay. I just got home a couple days ago, so I definitely don't have any travel longings at the moment.

My stomach took a couple of leaps when he was dancing at the edge of cliffs, on a rock wedged between two cliffs and in Antartica. What a nut!
You know, I would have given permission for you to use my picture if you'd asked. I'm a very generous person. However, it would probably be nicer not to just steal them in the future....
Just because it's on flickr doesn't mean it's free to use. See the little (c) on the bottom right?

kelita. so sorry about photos! on the original post, I did credit your flickr site. And after Matt wrote back and I added the interview, the reference to your flickr page was deleted.
So sorry! If you want me to take the photo down, I will do so!
Again, sorry.

No, it's fine to keep it up. I was just a little surprised, that's all. Thanks for the attribute now. (Though it looks like you included the ')' in the link.)
Thanks for this story, Laura, and for the links to all that wonderful dancing footage. Of course I get happy chills watching people united--even (or especially) if one guy, his goofy jigs and the internet are doing the uniting!
Got something to say?
