This ought to be on the shorter side (What? Short FR . . .ME?! You're kidding!)
FR: Day 31 - Gatekeeper (3.26.09)
TheBrad2 and I head over to Downtown Fullerton once again for some fun. We start our DTF routine which always starts off with a bathroom stop through "Man" agan's as we scope it out, even though there are rarely any chicks there. We head over to Commonwealth to grab the handstamp for later and I chill out with the bouncer and shoot the shit about watches for awhile.
It's 10:30, but DTF is semi-dead! Commonwealth has very few sets in it, but I spot a 6 set in my peripheral and decide to warm up. I come in and tell them they look bored, they need some energy to get their night started on the right foot, so we do some awesome high fives all around.
This is one of the first times I've decided to stick around after my Energy Opener and try to run the set. The chicks are nice and warm to me, but already drunk and ADD as FUCK! Every time I start talking to one, another girl interrupts and I lose the girl I was originally talking with. (Lame!) This happens three times before I've had enough. These chicks need adderall for christ's sake. As I eject, two more girls walk in and promptly receive my high fives. haha. 8 set? No thanks, this was hectic.
With nothing left to open, Brad2 and I head over to Slidebar and do some more warm up. Walking through the "outdoor" patio, Brad2 catches some chick shooting us AI's.
Brad2: *With a big grin* What, so you think you can just stare me down all night long?
The girls are nice and receptive, but we're crosstalking so Brad2 and I go for a wing crossover, changing up targets. HBMascara is a cutie, but has huge bags under her eyes like she hasn't slept in days. Still field testing my little adventurer conversational thread, I try it out and she turns out to be a girl who leads a rather boring life. Lame! She's nice and giggling. . . but won't really latch onto any threads I throw out in conversation. Brad2 sees this, and looks a little overwhelmed by his girl HBNeckFat, so we do another wing crossover.
HBNeckFat is much more fun to talk to. She's skinny, cute, and blonde, but has that double chin thing where you can tell she lost a lot of weight quickly. She is so much more receptive and high energy, this is a girl I could sit and talk with all night. We vibe on how both of us had our hair change color once we hit teen years, talk tattoos, I claw her in and I can tell she's having loads of fun. Brad2 goes for HBMascara's number, she counters by asking for his, but he keeps his frame and picks up the number exchange. Solid.
During this whole phone fiasco, HBNF is looking at me expectantly, but to be perfectly frank -she just doesn't turn me on. Sorry girl, I feel kind of bad for blowing this off, maybe I should have asked for the number just to be nice.
Brad2 and I move on from the set just as the chicks see two of their friends. We bounce on over to The Church, which is generally kind of dead. Brad2 mentions how when we're out winging together we're like a SWAT team. hahaha. He goes on to say that we come into the bar, open sets on the way, find one great one, grab numbers and move on to the next place. He's semi right, we execute pretty efficiently. . . but we've gotta start sticking around for some isolation with these girls. I want to PULL not just grab a handful of numbers.
Out on the patio at Church, it turns out to be me, Brad2, and a bouncer on his break. . . that's it. So I light up a coffin nail and Brad wants to stick around for a few minutes to talk wing strategy.
Enter gorgeous Latina. . .
With two guys in tow, the most beautiful latina chick enters the patio and promptly begins to smoke. I like her already.
Brad2 and I exchange looks like "Yours or mine?" and he gives it to me. We open the guy by asking if his tattoos hurt, and so begins the epic conversation. Turns out the guys are boyfriend and boyfriend, which is awesome. They really didn't care to be in conversation and spent most of their time looking at myspace on the one guy's iphone. haha.
This chick and I vibe on things as diverse as tattoos, pissing in public places, her son(she's twenty eight and divorced. . .Fine with me!), and going on adventures once a day. I can't remember much of the actual things that were said, but this is how I definitely prefer to game. I was in that 'flow' where conversation was this fluid creature with a mind of its own.
Man I could have stayed there and talked with her all night because not only was she hot, she was fucking smart too! Problem is. . . The patio is dead, not many people inside, so Brad2 would have been stuck by himself all night if I did this. I can't just ignore my buddy like that, so I decide it's time to continue on at another bar. She tells me to grab her phone number, but as I'm entering into my phone she says something along the lines of "I've got a lot of 20 and 21 year old friends I can introduce you to..." Meh, whatever, AWESOME gatekeeper if she's telling the truth. This set made my night.
It's getting late so Brad2 and I cap off the night with a quick run through Heroes but no dice, so we head out.
Until next time,
~Muse
