Gene Lee Dancing Skateboarding Mystery
Last year sometime I saw this weird guy in an awesome pink outfit skateboarding up college ave near the Oakland Berkeley border. He was dancing and clapping, weaving through the stop and go traffic of a typical mid day weekend. I thought he was hilarious, talented, and for the 15 minutes or so that I got to enjoy his dancing, I thought he was everything that was great about the Bay Area.
Later he showed up in a New York Times travel article and I decided to look him up online. I told my mom about him, showed her some links and now she always asks if I’ve seen him lately. I think she is obsessed with him. So I’m going to collect here what I have found on him out on the tubes. Here goes.
All the videos I have currently found. I know there is more.
A flicker photoset of “Gene Lee as Seoul”. A blog post about Gene Lee’s death. A blog post about him faking his death, another one, and another one, his myspace page, which says he’s been logged in today March 7th 09. Oh and I’ve just uncovered some new stuff, a new vid “public display of fitness”.
And here on National headquarters it seems he has been going by Eugene International and is currently in the bay area. Awesome.
But no mom, I have not personally seen him skateboarding, clapping, and dancing down the street in a rad hot pink outfit lately.
