Visiting San Deigo & Eric'S Lounge

[garykainz]

I'm in San Diego for spring break and I just got back from Eric's Oddesey Lounge.

The three of us ordered a pipe with Horchata and one with Orange Soda. They were awesome, of course.

Eric had the old John Wayne movie Cahil on, and we started talking about movies with him (since my wife and I are film students). He took us back to see his (incredible) movie selection. Freaking put me to shame. Something like 2000+ movies on shelves.

Awesome experience. I'll definitely go back any chance I get!

Thanks Eric!

Sounds like a great time man. I'm jealous. I need to get out there to see Eric and enjoy some of the great so cal brewerys

Maybe I've been to Eric's lounge when he's having bad days or something, because every time I go I get nothing but sarcasm and snide remarks. That's basically why I stopped buying Tangiers.

Lol, Sounds justlike any trip to the lounge. His movie selection is incredibly massive. My jaw dropped when i saw it too! I understand the sarcasm remarks, it took about half of my first time at the lounge to figure out if Eric was being serious or sarcastic. That all seems to go away after you start talking and riding the wave of wild tangents.

[3uphrat3s]

Yeah I appreciate good sarcasm. But when it becomes borderline insulting and more-so annoying, it's not funny anymore. When I'm hanging out I don't want to be analyzing everything someone is saying trying to figure out whether they are serious or not, it get's tiring. I'm sure he's a nice guy, maybe even a great guy. More power to him, if that way of communicating has gotten him this far, he must be a master of his sarcastic craft. But I'm sure he's lost plenty of life-long customers, I know I'm one of them.

Um, I don't care if Eric was the biggest asshole on earth (and he isn't, by any means), I'd still smoke Tangiers!

You don't need to analyze. Just grow a thicker skin. And I say that as someone who had to learn the hard way, life is just generally easier when you worry less if something is directed at you and what it means if it was. Still got a few thin spots, but more and more often it's becoming like water off a ducks back. And life gets correspondingly less stressful.

I mean, you gave up something you like out of wondering what was going on in his head. Tell him he's being a pain in the ass and take another hit off the pipe and move on. He's a big boy. He can take it.

Yeah I guess you are correct. But I've been fine without Tangiers this long, I think I can live without it. If I'm ever in the SD area I might stop by again, but for now I'll stick to my current routine.
