DEMO: Matt Marshall inherits Chris Shipley’s dancing shoes (video)
We smuggled this grainy police video out of the hotel at DEMOfall 09 today. It is proof positive that our fearless leader, Matt Marshall, can dance. Sort of. At the close of the presentations at the event in San Diego today, Chris Shipley, the executive director of DEMO for 13 years, handed the reins over to Matt. As part of the deal, Matt had to learn Chris’ signature dance. As awkward as it seemed at first, it does look like Matt’s ready to follow in Chris’ footsteps.
