Flyers, Part 2

Walking down this tunnel connecting the L Train with the 1 Train at 14th Street, I saw this other flyer that really does speak for itself.

Dan Smith Will Teach You Guitar

So while I was in NYC I saw some things printed on signs on walls. I got a shot of a real DAN SMITH WILL TEACH YOU GUITAR flyer in front of a candy store on Broadway and 78th St. These things are everywhere, and there's something really powerful about them. You know what's powerful about them? Dan Smith is what's powerful about them. He seems friendly enough at first glance, but after you see a second poster on the same late-night walk to the train, and then a third, and a fifth, and a ninth; something in his face starts to creep under you, under your pants and under your skin, and the lump in your throat swells, and you see his face again and again and again and his confidence, his inhuman confidence turns your blood to ice and drops you to your knees; and you realize just as you black out, cell phone in hand, thumb dialing furiously; that "Guitar" is just the beginning of what Dan Smith will teach you.

My friend Will Disney wrote a short story about Dan Smith here. Mr. Smith is also online at dansmithwillteachyouguitar.com. I will not be watching that video.
