Hi folks
Pido disculpas de que esta invitación no se escribe en español. Si desea una traducción, por favor dígame.
If you’re getting this email, you’ve either signed-up on my site to be notified or you’ve written to me and mentioned where you live. I’m coming to Meixco to shoot a clip for my new dancing video. This is an invitation to come out and join me.
The last video was about places. This one is about people. LOTS of people. So I’m not too concerned about the background. I just want a place where people can gather and dance badly without getting into too much trouble.
The location is in the Zocalo on Sunday, May 25th. We will meet near the flagpole. Dancing will begin at 3pm.
Here’s a link to the Google Map:

The photo attached to this email shows where to meet.
I realize Mexico is a very large country. I wish I could cover more regions, but I only have time to shoot one clip and Mexico City is where I get the most email.
We’re not publicizing the event. This is just going out to people who’ve signed up on my site or sent me email. But please feel free to extend this invitation to everyone you know who might want to participate.
The boring details are below. If you can’t make it, you don’t need to read any further:
Please print out the attached release form and sign it ahead of time, if possible. If you don’t have a printer, I’ll have copies to hand out.
I’ll also need to take a photo of each participant before the dance and attach it to the release form so we can identify everyone in the video. You don’t need to bring a photo. I’ll have a camera.
If you are under 18, you MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian who can sign the release form and be photographed with you. Those are the rules I have to follow in order to use the footage. The good news is that my sponsor is making a donation to charity for each person who signs up and dances with me.
Feel free to invite friends to come with you. Just make sure everyone is okay with signing the release form.
When you get to the spot, look for the guy who looks like the guy in the dancing video. Just come on over and say hello. I shouldn’t be too difficult to find.
It will take some time to process each person, so depending on how many show up, I may have to stop accepting forms at some point and shoot the video. If you come early, it’ll make things a bit easier on me.
The whole thing shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to shoot. We’ll set up the shot, dance for about 15 seconds, do it one more time for good measure, and then try a couple fun variations.
There won’t be any music. That gets added later. Dance however you want to the music in your head, or bring headphones if you prefer 
I can’t guarantee that the clip we shoot will end up in the final video. There will be a lot of footage to choose from and some of it will not be used.
You’re welcome to bring your own camera. After the shoot, I’ll stick around for pictures and stuff. I’m happy to dance with you in your own picture/video, so don’t hesitate to ask.
Please reply to this email if you plan to attend and let us know how many people you think you’ll be bringing. It’ll help to give us an idea of how many to expect.
We’re planning to put the final video up on the internet on June 21st, 2008.
I look forward to dancing badly with you!
-Matt and Melissa
