pop and lock

There are some strange things I've seen since moving to Portland.

In an earlier blog, I mentioned watching two guys at a coffee shop test flame-retardant gloves by trying to set each other's hands on fire. Last week, as I was walking home from the library, I saw a young man -- dressed head-to-toe in canary yellow -- popping and locking as he waited for the light to change so he could cross the street.

Pop and lock -- also know as the Campbell-Lock -- is the dance that Rerun (Fred Berry) was famous for doing in the television sitcom, "What's Happenin'"

You can view a sample (not Fred Berry, but a guy named Greg) of pop and lock here.

I wished I'd had my video camera....

Only in Portland. :)
