It's not every day that you walk through Lobsterman's Park and see the city's mayor leading a group of women in the Electric Slide. You especially don't expect to see such fancy footwork when it's absolutely freezing outside. But this is exactly what was going on at noon today.

Mayor Duson, who's wearing the brown shirt, and a crew of volunteers braved the weather (and the possibility of public humiliation) in order to help the Community Television Network (channels 2 & 4) raise money. The video of today's event, along with videos of the rest of the council members doing their own dance moves (no word yet on where or when these routines will go down), will be aired April 2 on CTN at 7 pm.

I wasn't the only one there with a camera. Suzi Piker posted a video on the Portland Press Herald site, Press Herald photographer John Ewing will likely have images in tomorrow's paper and Channel 8 should have video for this evening's newscast.

This all goes to show that you never know what you'll come across when you head out onto the streets of Portland.
