Some things need a wider audience

Courtesy of Girls With Slingshots, we have a video of people signing (ASL) the lyrics to Jonathan Coulton's "First of May."

For those not familiar with the song it might be best played over headphones rather than over public speakers. YMMV, of course. And now I know a couple more (ahem) useful ASL gestures. The amusement is not quite on the level of the (I believe it was) Balticon at which we got a simultaneous ASL interpretation of "Bend Over Greek Sailor" but still... useful.

reminds me of the NIN show that had an ASL interpreter. (And shows like that only provide them by request). I'm pretty sure every person in the audience who discovered the ASL interpreter in time was not watching the stage during "Closer".
