Last night at the Ida / Tara Jane ONeil concert (which was amazing, by the way) we were...treated?...to a performance by Fred Nemo. During Tara Jane's set, a homeless looking man with a suitcase approached the stage. He sat purposefully on the steps at the side of the stage and begin to open his suitcase.
At more cautious venues, this may have resulted in bouncers tackling the guy and dragging him out of the show. But, the Doug Fir was pretty relaxed. And apparently this guy is something of a legend.
So, with his long greasy, balding hair and tattered Hazel shirt--he crouched above the suitcase as it creaked open to reveal...his dancing shoes. He carefully removed each hiking boot, tenderly slipped his large dirty feet into the dance shoes, and asked if he could dance on a stool on stage.
The stool was moved to the ground in front of the stage where Nemo climbed atop to "perform" to one of Tara Jane's songs.
Afterwards, he bowed, leaped from the stool, walked back over to his suitcase, tucked the dance shoes away, replaced his hiking boots, and walked out of the room.
