The moments at the Westin with Eric Lewis and the tap dancer were considerably unexpected, but as you mentioned; she opened up the door for the rodeo rope guy, the ballroom dancing that followed, and the congo line that finished it off.
It was an experience worth capturing. I have some videos of it somewhere; I'll have to share'm with you.

Yes, please do! Right now I'm reliving that moment in my mind, but any footage you have would be most amazing. I'm so glad you were there.
I didn't stream the rodeo guy or the tap dancer. When I post them, I'll send it to you.

I think it's incredible how people can really motivate each other toward something strange and expressively charged, like that! It's really the reason to go out in public. :) There is such art in the chaos... and, that is a badass moment you shared!
I totally wish I was there! :)

What great images and a great reminder. I think I would have been one of the annoyed ones as well. Kudos to Eric for recognizing the power of collaboration and going with it.

It's such a cliche, but that's like a typical Tuesday afternoon at Burning Man.

Sort of. When I go to Burning Man, I expect to see people dancing around and being free spirited, so a moment like this wouldn't touch me in the same ways -- it is a festival centered around that. What was special about this is that was completely unexpected, spontaneous and in a hotel lobby.

Here's how it all ended with everyone on their feet: http://qik.com/video/992504
