Cool Disco Dan
Spouses often talk about strange things and tonight we were reminded of a graphitti phenomena from the early 90's in the DC area. When we were first married we lived in Silver Spring, MD and I worked at the Pentagon. For the first year or so I took the Metro to work and the Cool Disco Dan tag was everywhere. From the Metro especially you would see alot of Dan's mark. I don't mean you'd see it a few times, you would see it constantly. Often three or more on a single building!
It was just crazy how many Cool Disco Dan's there were all over the DC area. Of course these days we know there's really no story behind Cool Disco Dan. He was just a guy who wanted to see his name everywhere, and did. However at the time we always wondered who Disco Dan was and just how cool he really might be.

cool disco dan.
As a metro rail rider in my youth (late 80's early 90's) I also was fascinated by Disco Dan. Down near Union Station he had one particular tag that was at least 10 feet high and 30 feet wide. Big and black and I think I remember it looking like batman wings or something. Anyway, he was the man, from a graffito perspective.
