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.
Q. The Google Earth video in particular is just fantastic. Very creative and very informative and very IMAX kind of engrossing.
Google put it together.
Q. Have you been offered big jobs with Google or MSFT or some such? Curious.
A. Nope, but since you mention it, my girlfriend is a recruiter at Google.
Q. How long will you be in Seattle? Do you think this world-trotting experience will leave you forever unable to stay in one place too long?
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.
A. We had 180 people turn out. It was the biggest (or at least very very close to the biggest) turnout e've had anywhere in the world. Great weather. Great vibe. By coincidence, there was a large group of oplayers in the park too. Cosplayers are kids who dress up like characters from Japanese animation. It's sort of a subculture. Anyway, they were in the park and someone went over and recruited them all to dance with us, so we had pirates and Pokemons and space aliens. It was hilarious.
