entire bottle of whiskey and say things
that not only he thinks are profound, but
actually are. You forgive him his Oxford
scarves because he also wears a
newsie cap. He's there when the man
gets you down, and is the first to mooch
when the man buys you a drink. And for
some reason he thinks it's a good idea
to give me theater companies. Huttah.
on it. The t-shirt sold better than any other shirt
I've ever made. "I'm waiting for a light speed train.
I'm the inventor, so of course I ride for free." You're
a fucking genius.
Eric is the master of the dramatic pause and
takes a long time to say anything. It's ok
though. What he has to say is worth the
wait.
us have been known to call him, is one
of those rare finds in life. I mean,
how often do you meet someone when you
are fourteen (and sent to a Christian
camp in the woods of New Hampshire)
that you actually still want to hang
out with when you are vastly
approaching 26 years old? Not often.
No sir, not often. Especially when
you're as gross as we were at age
fourteen. So you may be asking- what
makes this Eric Meyer guy so great?
Why, he is a genuine and caring friend
for one. For two, he's so talented
that he actually has convinced me to
spend my free time helping his career
and those of his friends. He has one
of those laughs that just makes you
want to tell him jokes all day long.
And he's an alcoholic so he's always up
for celebrating if you need a fellow
reveler, or for drinking
people/places/things away whenever you
need a fellow shit talker. There will
always be both a metaphorical and
actual bar stool for you next to me. Ah
yes, Christian camp has taught us
well... in Him, my friend, in Him.

pretty drunk, but Eric is drunker.
You might think "I'm an amazing human
being with profound insight into
nuances of existence" but Eric is
drunker. His name really was a catch
phrase once, and he does define our
generation. I'm proud to be able to
call him friend, brother, and fellow
alcoholic.
