Dancing on the Subway
Rule #1: Do not move if you do not want to get hurt.
This was the first time the Chinatown Blogger had seen anything like this. He had heard about it, but has never witnessed one in person. Yesterday, at the JFK/UMass Red Line stop going towards Boston around 7:30pm, a man with a portable CD player walked in and shouted, “Who wants to see a single Black man dance?” He laid out 3 rules: 1) Do not move if you do not want to be hurt, 2) Clap if you see something good, and 3) Donate money if you like what you saw. He cleared the aisles and proceeded to… dance. (OK, so this blog isn’t exactly about Chinatown but the train was going towards Chinatown.)
Rule #2: Clap if you see something you like.
Rule #3: Donate if you like what you just saw.

Any word on whether or not he does this often and which lines he frequents? I’d love to see this for myself.

I saw him on the Red Line going form JFK to Downtown. Not sure if he is on other lines. If anyone else knows let us know.
