Second time was two weeks ago when I took Mrs. Hand to see Peter Gabriel (can't imagine a big FB following, so here's all the spoiler space you get if you're going to see him), but he and his daughter Melanie performed "Games Without Frontiers" on Segways, going back and forth across the stage and rotating in place. Seem very maneuverable and look like fun, but I'm not sure about their utility yet...

Yep, I've seen at least one on four different occasions. The strangest one being two young adults flying down Belmont at 11 PM on a Thursday night...they're all over the place here.
