Location: Graham Central Station
After hearing about a massive lair sarging event on Friday night at Graham I decided to hold off and go on Saturday. I spent the time Friday cleaning my place and redecorating a bit to make it a more relaxed environment for when people come over. I'm still experimenting with the colored lights and a few other things. Anyways, I get myself all cleaned up and together and take myself out Saturday. I arrived downtown fairly early jamming out to some of my favorite music.
I make my way to the club walking down 2nd Avenue. I get stopped twice by people who recognized me or know me in one way or another. I take a few minutes to shoot the stuff with them before I get in line at Graham. I keep thinking to myself that Nashville even though with a population of about 600,000 is more like a small town really in the mentality of people here. Anyways, I'm standing in line and the head door guy, and he sees me. He comes up and shakes my hand, and tells me to get in front of the line. Who am I to argue with him? I also say to the two other guys working the door, and make sure they are doing alright.
I head inside, pay my cover, and a few people are already waving to me to get my attention. I am smiling to myself just looking forward to this night, and it's only about 10 o'clock. I go over and say Hi to Cheryl, a tall redhead in her late 30s, who sells some of the roses in the club, and give her a hug. We talk for a few minutes about her band, and then I let her get to work. I go over and get a hug from Jackie the who is a shotgirl in the venue, HB8 Burnette, she asks me how I've been doing, and asks me why I wasn't there last night. I tell her how I've been busy redecorating my place and taking care of a few things like that. While talking I can't help but notice that I'm leaning against the wall as she's talking to me. I use to have to conciously think about it, but I just noticed. I can see a few other girls looking over at me here on the first floor. Jackie spots a group of girls to sell some shots too so I get my butt upstairs.
I glance into the 2nd floor area looking for anyone I might know and don't see anything that interests me. I head to the third floor and hesitate as I walk in the door. I take a quick look around to let my social radar adjust to where people are at for a second. I go into the dance floor area, and say hello to Tanya and Leah behind the main bar. I then go over to Bianca who's working the beertub to get a hug and grab a water from her. There are about 20 people on the dance floor and about the same amount hanging around the dance floor drinking. There are a few sets that are interesting but I go back to say Hi to the DJ and Jo who I see working shots as well.
After a few minutes with them, I see Dennis who is becoming a regular there. He's a good friend of Shannon who I still date from time to time. He's with this cute hispanic HB7 Burnette in a nice dress. I greet him and tell him to introduce me. He introduces me to the girl. I quickly make the decision to help hook him up. I say to her, "This is a good guy you're with here! He's good people. How do you all know each other?" She tells me they just met. I say, "Well, if you are looking to have fun in this club you couldn't have a better tour guide." About that time, Jessica who sells the roses as well she's making her rounds. She runs over and gives me a big hug. I can tell Dennis's girl is looking at me. I have Jessica give Dennis a hug acting like she knows him, and then introduce her to the girl. We all talk for a few minutes and Jessica and I catch up. As Jessica leaves, I suggest that the girl should dance with Dennis because he tears up the dance floor. She takes his arm and they head to the dance floor. He gives me a big grin, and head knod as he goes to the dance floor. I later see her with her hands on his ass and figure he's good to go.
I go in the karoake area of the 3rd floor and spot Darby behind the bar. Something clicks in my head and I remember its her birthday. This is the girl from the last field report that I posted. I take my time greeting some more people I know in the place before I get over to her. I can see her glancing over at me as I make my way to her. She comes from around the bar to give me a hug and kiss. I tell her Happy Birthday. We talk for a few minutes about what we've been up to. Since it's her birthday she's giving people shots including herself. I order a beer and few a few shots with her before she gets busy. I tell her I'll see her later, and head up to the roof to see what's happening there.
I see that Valerie is working the bar. I know the band that's playing and they are rocking. The roof is very busy for this early with a lot of people watching the band play. The lead singer "Crowe" Points to me as I walk on the roof, and gives me a knod. I walk over to the bar, take a stool with my back to the side of the bar. I'm light a cigarette and just sipping my beer as Valerie is taking orders. She sees me and leans over the bar to give me a hug. I ask how she's been because she's been out sick for a little while. We're talking about that and all of a sudden this girl grabs my arm with both hands and says, "Hey you have to do me a favor!" She's an HB8 Asian girl in a sharp looking black dress and heels. I say to her, "Hands off...I don't have to do anything!" She says, "Come on you have to do me a favor." She touches my chest at this point. I say, "What's the favor you are asking of me, and what do I get in return?" She says, "Well, I want you to go up to my friend and say, Hey I just got checked out at the clinic and you should get checked out too." I say, "No way am I saying this to some stranger. You don't know me from a hole in the wall. (Pointing to the bar) Here's a hole in the wall...here's me." I turn my body slightly and as if on que she grabs me again. "Please you have to do this." I say, "Where is your friend, and she points him out to me." I say, "You aren't from here are you?" She says, "We're from L.A. and here for the Boyscouts of America Conference." I start laughing. I tell her, "You'll owe me three drinks." She says, "What!!!" I say, "Okay two but thats my final offer." She agrees.
She is holding and squeezing my hand as I walk up to the dude. I say, "Flynn, good thing you are sitting down bro. I have some bad news. I'm not sure how to tell you this, but I went to the clinic today and got checked out. It's not good man, you need to set an appointment like ASAP." He's laughing and so is Cindy the HB8 Asian girl. I sit down next to him and say, "You have some weird friends man, I'm Jon." I talk to him for a few and then Cindy sits down beside me. I'm introduced to this group of 8. I have questions coming at me all over. I'm ignoring Cindy pretty much.
Jackie comes by and offers the group some shots, and a few people buy. She says, "Hi" to me and gives me a thumbs up now that Cindy has her arm around me. Jackie is fully aware that I teach men how to pickup women and what I'm capable of in this place. She actually DHVs me with a statement, when she says, "You guys are going to have a kick ass night with Jon around!" I'm thinking in my head this is going well. I am surrounded by a group mainly composed of women and I get DHV'd by the hot shot girl. I am getting some 1 x 1 time talking to Cindy going through DHV stories. I start expressing some interest back to her at this point when two HB7 Blondes come up to me, and say, "Hey will you buy us a shot?" I say, "No way, but you can buy me one." Cindy looks at me and asks me if I know the girls, I tell her that I don't and she introduces herself to them. Next thing I know I'm helping her introduce these random girls to the group. I say to Cindy, "Hey speaking of which grab me a Bud Light from Valerie at the bar." She goes off to get my drink and I talk to our new friends a bit.
We're all hanging out and talking and I decide it's time for me to isolate Cindy now that she's shown enough compliance and brought me my drink. I do a quick toast to meeting new people. At this moment two girls I know from previous encounters Julie and Trina pop up. I wave them over and introduce them as well. We're now at about 12 people in the set or so. I'm doing a quick headcount and they are flirting with Flynn the guy I goofed on earlier. I tell them he's from L.A. and they are definately turning on the charm for him. This is getting to be real fun! I say to the group, "Hey guys your friend and I kind of like each other, are ya'll cool with that?" They are good with me. I grab her hand and say, "Come with me." I look at the group and say, "We'll be right over at that table." We go sit down and we start talking about her kids back home and stuff like that. I find out she's going to be in town until Wednesday as well. I am thinking about a Single Night Lay at this point but also setting groundwork for a day 2. I figure it's time to kiss her. We're close enough I just tell her to kiss me and we're going at it a bit. Then out of nowhere I hear, "Jon!" In my mind I'm thinking, "Shit!" These two HB6s approach me that I've talked to once before when picking up Darby. I introduce them to Cindy and they sit down with us. We all talk and then I return back to the group with Cindy and the two girls. A few guys have joined the group that are from Nashville that I'm introduced to. We're right at about 14 people when I do a quick headcount. I'm pretty happy with this, and everyone is drinking and getting wild.
Flynn is flirting with Julie and Trina hardcore and they are kissing. Dennis and the girl he was with other stop by and again he's introduced. He asks me how I know so many people. I tell him I'm just friendly. They hang around us for about 15 minutes or so before he leaves with his girl. Cindy is getting wild now that she's a little drunk and she's hard to control as far as running around talking to everyone in the group. I just stay seated and enjoy the conversations going around. I get a text from Hilary saying I want to meet you at your place. I decide one in hand is better than two in the bush so to speak. I grab Cindy. I get her number and setup a Day 2 for later in the week before she leaves. I get some kisses and say my goodbyes to the group. I make my last minute rounds kissing Darby before I leave and saying hi to the band that was playing and now on break. It's about 2 am. I head towards my car.
It ends up later that Hilary is drunk and passes out on me after I get back to my place. Go figure! It was still a good weekend but I need to get better at pulling SNLs. _________________ Been around the world twice, Talked to everyone once...
