7/26/2010 - The Blind Barber

photo by Evan Sung

I first stumbled (literally) onto this place the night of the Vice Photo Show. It was housing the after party to the opening. At first I thought it was just some over excited interior designer making a bar look like a barber shop, but it wasn’t til now the pieces started all making sense. I saw the video above, featuring Gogy Esparza, a barber at The Blind Barber, and remembered meeting Gogy at Bar 169 a while back on a hazy Thursday outing. Being the friendly guy he is, he sat with the lone drunk (me) and told me about his craft and gave me his number if I ever needed a cut. I’ve only recently been introduced to the luxuries of having a proper clean up at a barber shop, but Gogy, you may be seeing me soon for a drink and a trim.
