I'm Your Boogie Man. That's What I Am.

January 14, 2015 by onfranklin&main in Street Portraits

"I've heard everything: 'nice weiner! --  I love your weiner! -- can I see your weiner?' Anything like that,"  Anthony says. "It doesn't bother me. I just laugh. I probably hear it a few times a day." The UNC student dons the dog duds a couple of times a week and with earbuds firmly in place, he gyrates, hustles and sidesteps for two-to-three hours at a time at the entrance of Sup Dogs restaurant on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill.

"I love making people laugh and now I get paid to do it." he says. "It's really cool. People come up to me all the time and dance with me."

What tunes keep him shuffling his feet? KC and The Sunshine Band on Pandora.

Right on.
