During the day on the subway I had one of the largest blow outs ever. I was chatting with this girl about how my friends wanted me to be a stripper, and when she agreed I negged her about judging me too quickly. I sat down next to her, chatted about local clubs and bars while giving light Level 1 Incidental Kino to the arm. Somehow it came up that I was from florida, we talked about tanning and I went to touch her hand to show her how fake tanning sprays will turn your skin orange and she said, "Don't touch me!" and pull back hard. I really felt bad that I had creeped her out (I never want to make anyone uncomfortable, just leave everyone better then I found them) so I quickly moved a seat further away from her, apologized and explained how I was just a "Touchy Guy." She got off on the next stop, I'll never know if it was really her stop or she was just ejecting. Oh well!

This night I decided to put into practice some of the things that Rye and the Saint had been lecturing about. The Saint and Zip taught me about visualization and it was a big thing for me. It really helped me get into the sarging mind set and it's something I always do now when going out.

We went the "R Bar" which was another great venue. Zip, really knows the city well and took us to all the cool places. Anyway, my fav opened was simply "Hi! I'm (full name)" and I'd extend my hand out for them to shake it. Just about everyone would take it, and then introduce themselves. It was really interesting to just open with "Hi!" rather then a routine. It really works just as well, from here just DHV and move on.

I had one two set that when I held my hand out and introduced myself they didn't take it and just kinda looked at me strange. I kept my hand extended while talking to them waiting for my target to take it and when they still didn't introduce themselves I gave them names. I used real girl names, in retrospect I should have used imaginary ones like sparkle and shine or something to that affect, and this set was not going well at all. Rye came in and shook my hand so that I could put it down and show the girls how it was done. The set was blown, I ejected.

The TD bounce was another great opener. I'd be walking and then all of a sudden take a big hope into a three set and start waving. All the HB's turn to you like, "Huh?" and then I introduce myself and start talking about how the music makes me think of high school and DHV from there etc etc.

The saint handed me a girl that he basically gift wrapped for me by pumping her BT so high. This girl was strange, she was convinced that she was the shit and kept qualifying herself to me and DHVing back to me. I tried to keep her in check for awhile but I could see that if I didn't start DHVing back she was going to raise her value too high above mine so it turned into a battle of values. It ran well for awhile and then I isolated her to a couch and I had my arm around her, great kino. We were sitting very close, she turned to look at me, I brushed the hair off her face and went in for a kclose and she pulled back and said "I'm not kissing you." I turned my body away from her but kept talking and smiling and laughing with her. We got up to dance, grinded, and then she started giving me doggy dinner bowl so I went in for the kclose again, she turned her face and pulled back. I went to number close her and she said something to the effect of, "You'd be lucky if I gave you my number" so I took my phone out of her hands and put it back in my pocket saying something to the affect of "No, you'd be lucky if I ever called you" with a huge smile. No number close yet, more kino, more dancing and then we sat again. I pointed to my cheek once, she said, "And?" and stood strong. However, armed with advice from the saint I simply looked away from her, presented my cheek and kept tapping it waiting for her to kiss me on the cheek. After about 10 seconds of silence she went for it, then I took out my phone and said, "I'm tired of playing games, give me your number" to which she did. She went off to "VIP" and I ejected. A lot of work for a phone number, but it was still a lot of fun.

We went to another venue where you had to have a lady to go in (no single males). I opened a few sets to get a girl to bring me in and I had a three set that was biting if I would "Buy them a round" since they were about to leave but there was no deal there. Eventually Rye and I got in by buying a round for 4 HB's (Two of them only wanted soda so it was no big deal) and while the club was nice every girl was there with someone. We opened a few sets, had some fun, but by this time it was already 3 am. We went home and called it a night.
