This past Wednesday, July 15th, 2009, Dave Chappelle gave his fans in a Portland Oregon a free comedy stand up show. Dave was expecting a small turn out of about 200 fans, but thousands showed up.

According to the Associated Press, fans found out about the show last minute, via text messages, Twitter, and good ole word-of-mouth, and gathered downtown late Tuesday (July 14) and early Wednesday, waiting for the 35-year-old comedian to arrive.  At around 1 a.m., Chappelle showed up to literally thousands of fans wielding camera phones trying to snap a quick photo.
