Fat Tuesday

Tonight was a much more energetic fun night for me. Perhaps I'm nearly over the cold that has been plaguing me for the past week+, or perhaps I just felt the New Orleans spirit

I didn't go out the last two nights, and instead staying in... resting a bit and also doing a little studying. I listened to a Glenn P interview on relationships, and also read Fader's banter lines post from the Attraction Forums. It is a gold mine of little quips to humor the ladies

So around 10 pm, Ray and I decide to go to Foxtail. We arrive, and are informed that only those on the guest list will be permitted entry. No matter, we hop in the car and start to go to Cinespace, but in route we notice that the Saddle Ranch is packed. And with the alure of cotton candy, mini-skirt clad women riding a mechanical bull, and most importantly... no cover, we stop.

But first, we head into the Standard to use the can. I vibed with the door staff, who remembered me from last time. Then we get in line at the Saddle Ranch, as they are "at capacity" and we need to wait until some people finish their ribs and fried chicken before we can get inside. I start chatting with a mixed 4-set (1 guy, 3 girls) and spew a bunch of off-the-cuff bullshit, that has them all laughing and having a good time. The guy gives me a fist thump in appreciation. I chat with the door guy, who now knows me by name and tell him he's doing a great job. Some guy from inside walks out and says "Hey, how's it going bro?!", like he knows me, and gives me a high 5. Then, in we roll. (C>5)

I open a 2 set by just looking at this girl like I know her. She starts blabbing about something that I don't understand, but I give her a big hug. Her sister wants to touch my facial hair, and I tell her hands off the merchandise. She talks back, so I smack her on the ass. She gives me a hug. She asks how I know her sister, and I put my arm around the sis and talk about how we dated a long time ago. She plays along. We are all laughing and having fun playing off each other, and there is a ton of 3-way kino happening. Both girls grab me and pull me out of the aisle to talk more, and then suddenly they have to go smoke and run off, never to be seen again (C>5)

I see Ray in set, and I go in to wing. I occupy the obstacle. They are from England, and I joke about how I don't like English girls. I make her guess what I do, and she says computer programmer! WTF! Apparantly my rocker look has some flaws :) I'm just bantering about nothing, and Ray tells us that his girl has agreed to be his 9th boyfriend. I ask when they are going to get married, and perform the marriage ceremony right on the spot. Ray gets a kiss. I try to isolate, saying it is loud in here, let's go outside, but they aren't having it (C>5)

I open 3 black girls, only talking to one of them though as the other two are staring into space at the bar. She loves sexy shoes, and laughs her ass off and plays along. Brad Pitt. She has a bar name too. We talk about giving fake phone #'s. I do the rolling stones bit. I'm a line cook at Denny's. This girl isn't hot, and Ray comes in to wing, so I try to talk to the 2 girls at the bar. They are stone cold. I talk about skydiving, which the friend said they did together, and not even that stirs an ounce of emotion. I'm not here to talk to the wall, so I eject (C>5)

I open a 2-set, and Ray follows right in to occupy girl #2. This girl is a riot, and we totally feed off each other. She loves horse girl, and I get a great hug. Brad Pitt. She says she is in the business, and I ask if that is her way of describing her porn career. She is like, most definitely. I say "Hmmm, I definitely don't recognize you. Turn around." So I turn her around and check out her ass, and declare that now I recognize her. I forget my motivation, but I also slapped her on the ass. Perhaps I just wanted to. Smart/Hot/Rich. She can cook. I tell her about my gig in the Rolling Stones. Line cook at Denny's. My aspirations in porn. They need to leave, so I get the #. She tells me to text her my name so she has my number. (# close.) Ray got the # of the second girl.

I go outside to get some fresh air. I open a 2-set. Again, this is a great high energy conversation, and we are totally vibing off each others bullshit. I'm Brad Pitt. She is Tina Turner. I role play as Ike for a bit, and tell her I'm going to smack her up, and give her a slap on the ass. She says she's gonna divorce me and take all my money. I isolate her and have her sit down next to me. Rolling Stones. Line cook at Denny's. I start qualifying her. She complies. After a bit, she says she has to go, but I get her to stay another 5 minutes. (# close)

I run into the 4-set from outside, and chat with the cutest of the 3 girls. We have a good chat. Smart/Hot/Rich. Brad Pitt. Rolling Stones. I don't remember exactly, but I think she needed to go to the bathroom. I see her a couple hours later making out with some random guy.

I open a seated girl outside, and a few minutes in a guy comes and sits down next to her. This is the same guy that took away a girl when I was at Big Wangs. He recognized me, I recognized him. But she knows him and he has his hands all rubbing her thighs, so I say ciao. (C<5)

A girl leaning against the wall is watching her friend vibe really well with some guy. I open her with horse girl. She tells me insulting a girl is not a good start. I keep going. Brad Pitt. Are you in a band? Yeah, rolling stones. Line cook at Denny's. She asks if this works on girls. (Why am I getting that so much lately? Help!) I keep plowing. She talks a bit about her work, and says she is a big fish in a small pond. I try to spin things back on her, and I ask her if that line works with guys. I understand you are into me, but you are coming on a little strong. She just kind of rolls her eyes. At this point her friend realizes the guy she is chatting with is a douche bag, and she wants to go. Off they go (C>5)

I open a seated 2-set, and the girl I am chatting to is drunk as a skunk. She can't focus for shit. A guy shows up with a drink for her, and she says she's known him since 3rd grade. He is saying Dude, you teach my astronomy class. I have no idea what the hell he is talking about, but I tell the girl that I really do. This is the only time she shows any spark of life as she is about to fall on the floor. I try running Ophrah Winfrey on her, and she is like Hell yeah I'll sleep with Oprah for 1 million. 500k? She can't pay attention. I'm not into necrophilia, and I'm getting nowhwere, so I eject (C<5)

I take a look around the place, and I see nothing with a buying temperature above absolute zero. Perhaps my gauges are off. Ray and I are feeling a bit tired, so we ride off into the sunset

Overall, I felt much more energy and more positive when going out. I slapped a few girls on the ass, and had really entertaining banter with a few different sets. It was fun. I feel like I am back on track.

Total sets:
C<5 - 2
C>5 - 5
