I will contain my disappointment in everyone I know in the city of Chicago for not making me aware of this before today, because this is it: the MOST AWESOME video of Monday, November 24, 2008: “The Ballad Of Vincent,” a guy who has dressed up and danced his way into the hearts of Windy City local morning news viewers and anchors. Here are his greatest hits so far:
We can just all go back to bed now. There isn’t going to be anything better than this today. I love Vincent! (Via everythingisterrible.)

i don’t know why I never thought to send in Vincent as a tip. He’s a local treasure…. we kind of just take him for granted.
there’s no joke here. vincent ‘the fashion man’ falk is awesome.
there are SOOOOO many myths and legends about vincent – and i’m not being snarky or ironic AT ALL…..
google him. you won’t regret it.
Oh, Vincent is his name! I see him all the time, I always referred to him as Old Morissey, though. Can’t you see it? Yeeeaaah.
This is the #1 suit on the internet.
1:38. Oh my god. 1:38.
It’s just like a horror movie.
aw he is wonderful.
How does afford all those suits?
that’s one of the myths…. that he’s a billionaire.
That’s awesome! I wish we had someone like that here… we have a guy with huge muscles that wears a denim mini dress and a pimp that carries a big stick, but no Vincent.
Apparently there’s a documentary?

The Vincent documentary premiered a couple weeks ago at the Cucalorus Film Festival in Wilmington, NC. Great movie, plus Vincent and the director were there for a Q&A.
My god, he OWNS that seamless jacket-off/360 spin move.
this is incredibly creepy/strange/wondrous/what.
mental retardation? just a little bit? no?
If anyone would like more info on the documentary, Vincent: A Life In Color, please check out our website: http://www.zweeblefilms.com

Guys, he has a site: http://www.vpfalk.net/
And is apparently legally blind… so all of us who thought he was a little touched are assholes.
it’s not very nice to call someone legally blind just because they have an ugly website.
Somehow I vaguely remember this guy but I don’t usually catch the morning news so I was not familiar with him. That is incredible. I’m mad that I didn’t know more about him. I love him. He is totally Chicago’s mascot.
Also: his spinning reminds me of Leatherface’s dancing at the end of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Y’know, but with colorful suits.
