LinkLinks Washington Post Magazine: In the Twittersphere, the D.C. Council went from dry to wry thanks to this guy By Editor On Nov 27, 2018 48 Share Walking into the office of Josh Gibson, the communications director and public information officer for the D.C. Council, feels a bit like walking directly into his brain: When I visit in September, D.C. postcards, maps, photographs, pins, posters and license plates inhabit nearly every inch of available wall and shelf space. Much of the floor, meanwhile, is taken up by a graffiti-covered metal electrical box the size of a mini refrigerator. The graffiti is by legendary D.C. graffiti artist Cool “Disco” Dan; Gibson had spotted the call box last year while riding the Metro’s Red Line and decided to set up a Cool “Disco” Dan exhibit in the council’s lobby. The fact that graffiti is illegal in Washington apparently didn’t faze him. “It seemed like a hurdle that could be overcome,” he says of successfully pitching the exhibit to the council.
