I love this guy's expressions- check out at 0:50 in the first video, so expressive.

Thank you! That was the first time I've ever seen a shirtless interpreter!

You may not. However I will offer you a good old fashioned disco hoot.

WOOT! WOOT!

Minus the hotness factor, NPR ran a story a while ago about sign interpreters getting ready for a Paul Simon concert.

Maybe now people will stop looking at me funny when I express my intense love for sign language...

Oh, um, y'know, this is a little awkward, but that's not really why they're looking at you funny...
you might wanna look down... cuz... uhhh, x y z if you know what I mean. yeah, you're welcome.

Miss Lynster, are you trying to say that there's a security breach at Los Pantalones?

In any case, this made me really regret missing Gallaudet's recent performance of Urinetown: The Musical. I'm now very, very curious as to what that would've been like. Cool post.

I saw the Deaf West production of Big River on Broadway, and it was GREAT. Wish more of Deaf West's stuff made it out to NYC.

Is it wrong that I would totally let this guy womanize me? As long as he did it in ASL, that is.

I love how TPS always manages to make MetaFilter a little bit gayer with every post.

This is like the guy who does Marilyn Manson. Did I see him here?
