Also an Abby Gardner/We Have Notes fan!

And this is a fascinating story, Beth! It reminds me of being in London in the 1990s when a giant, enigmatic poster appeared in Tube stations, with the letters E-L-F-I in various configurations and a photo of a lone figure, facing down, with one arm raised, as if in prayer. Eventually the images appeared with the word unscrambled: LIFE. And finally, the message: "LIFE: Come hear someone make sense of it" - and it was an invite to see Billy Graham, who eventually packed out a big stadium in London. It was the most interesting marketing campaign I'd even experienced. (I joined a friend's workplace for after-work cocktails and then we took a private shuttle to the event, probably another marketing device.) I'd be interested in the story behind that campaign, and to see if my memory is correct.

There we have it - a connection between the evangelist Billy Graham and Harry Styles!
