Mr. Nice Guy

Performed at FIAC with Gallery Analix Forever. I simply went around Paris during the few days of the fair and attempted to do nice things for people. Here’s the back story of Mr. Nice Guy:

Mr. Nice Guy was once a regular guy, cursing at people in traffic, under-tipping waitresses and stealing the neighbor’s newspaper. One day while he was stealing the paper, a fat, furry cat took him by surprise by licking his face (as he was bent over to pick up the paper). Mr. Nice Guy was horrified, but just when he was about to backhand the cat, something came over him–he smiled! He took the paper he was about to thieve and delivered it right to the doorstep of his neighbor, calling out cheerily “paper’s here Mister Mulligan!” Then he saw old Mrs. Canter struggling with some groceries. He raised his strong arms, calling for her to “wait!” Then, at top speed, Mr. Nice Guy rushed to the woman’s side, taking her groceries and delivering them to her kitchen. But he didn’t stop there. No! He unpacked the groceries and put them in the correct location.

So if you find yourself struggling with a menial task, stand up and look out your porch window. If you’re lucky, Mr. Nice Guy just might be coming to your rescue! Mr. Nice Guy was last spotted in Paris where he helped people pronounce things like “Mr. Nice Guy” and handing out mints.
