an i love new york moment followed directly by an i love google, you tube and the internet moment

yesterday i climbed down the steps of the subway platform, stiffly, limbs frozen and cold. i heard a familiar song playing. is that the instrumental beverly hills theme? i thought, suddenly smiling. sounded funny though.

is that....?
yes, it was being played on the accordion.

even better, when i came around the corner, the accordion player was wearing a cardboard robot helmet complete with antennae. brilliant.


now for the i love the internet portion. i went to you tube to double check that it indeed was from beverly hills cop. and on a whim i typed in 'robot accordion beverly hills cop'.

and lo and behold, there he was!!!! so i can share this moment fully with you even without the time to write this well. you tube will do it for me! behold: i heart new york.



later...

okay, so apparently i'm behind the times. i mentioned this dude to jade and he was like, 'the guy who wears the boba fett mask?'. um. oh yeah. so i guess i missed that reference. and i'm sorry i can't even spell boba fett. that's someone from star wars, right?
