but let’s talk about this pool hall. it’s pretty sweet. i want to go there and hang out and play pool. i love old pool halls. i grew up going to the vfw where my grandpa was a member and eating snacks at the bar and there were bingo nights and the environment felt like home. this is my sketchy memory of it anyway. i hadn’t really thought about this in a while until watching this video. in fact now a lot of things i’ve said recently make sense. i have been talking about the 3 types of places i really really love: bars, coffee shops, and little diners/cafes. and how i want to open a cool place like that or at least frequent them and how weird it is because i don’t drink alcohol or coffee and because i’m a vegan my cafe selections are limited (but not impossible). but i love the environments. and it makes sense now thinking about the vfw and some of the few happy memories of my childhood and how those have really influenced the things i want to do in life. so anyway, hey look at that i made a post with a weird personal anecdote like in the old days of this blog that i will pull up years from now and cringe about like i do those. yay.
