We've all danced silly at one time or another

On Friday I went to the Great Salt Lake along with 50 random others and flailed about in the shallows as if we were dancing. I don't have a "bucket list", but it certainly added some color to my tapestry.

This film shoot is for the next video being made by a guy named Matt. He literally travels all over the world and films people dancing silly. I will be dancing next to my brothers in Europe, my family in Asia, my blood in the Middle East, my friends across the Americas, my friends around the world. I get to be part of a message of unity, of acceptance, of compassion and the overwhelming oneness of and connection between the brotherhood of man, not a bad way to spend a summer evening.



By the time I took this picture most of the people from the shoot had left the beach and were up in the parking lot. If you look where a few people are standing in the water you will get an idea of where we were all jumping around. I can feel the salt in the back of my throat and the corner of my eye still.



The proverbial t-shirt.



I was impressed with Matt as an individual. His videos have been seen over 40 million times, a world wide personality, and he still had the air of just a guy. He waited around for as long as people wanted to take pictures, get autographs, take videos of smaller groups doing his silly dance with him. He knelt and spoke with kids and chuckled with the little old ladies. His smile was genuine the entire evening.



The shoot was at the marina at the Great Salt Lake. Though I am perched and parched mid-desert now, I am always a Michigan man at heart. I can't see a slew of boats and not click a pic.

I had never been there before and had pictured it much different than it really is.
