Happy 75 Trips Around The Sun!

In honor of his 75th birthday, Michael Grbich tap danced across the Golden Gate Bridge followed by an entourage of confetti-tossing grandchildren, neighbors and a friend with an iPod boom box. He's also a local artist and survivor of the Oakland Hills Fire.

I imagine I'd be pretty tired after tap dancing nearly two miles. Props to the spry old man.

I love this city so much. Stay weird, SF. Stay beautiful and free.

God love him! I hope he gets to do a re-run at 100.

Tap dancing across the Golden Gate Bridge is the only appropriate response to one's 75th birthday.

Best two quotes:

"I love you. You're famous!" said one child, running into his arms.

"Party at my house!"

I've been lookin' for anything on youtube or flickr or anything and nothing. Soon, maybe please?!

This guy is one of the best old guys ever. And I also believe that this story couldn't have been submitted by someone with a more appropriate username.
