I was thinking today that I have a few great girls in my life that I get to hang out with. I was actually suppose to spend the evening with one of them, but the way things work out it just didn't happen. Anyways, as I typically do some times I debated on whether or not to go out, but decided to go ahead. While I was getting out and heading down to the venue I was thinking to myself that I have a few blondes in my life I could use a sexy burnette. Then I thought I kind of wanted to have a bit of a challenge tonight to keep me on my toes.
So I decided that I would try for a hired gun since there have been several new hot girls start work there. I decide that I am going to add a little more pressure to myself and I text Tripp what I intend on doing. This is like Babe Ruth pointing to left field and calling his shot which can be a little intimidating. I don't know why I like the pressure so much, but I get so relaxed out there I needed to be out of my comfort zone a bit.
I get out of my car and walked down 2nd avenue to my venue. I have pretty much only one thing on my mind, and I'm just ready to get in the club. All of a sudden I hear, "Hey J!" I keep walking a bit, and I hear it again. I turn around and am looking at the crowd trying to figure out who said it. Then this girl comes through the crowd and comes up to me. She says to me, "Hey, I saw you at BuckWild the other night! Remember, you and HB8 liked my tatoo?" I say, "Yeah I remember talking to you!" This girl is about an HB7 but still pretty cute. She works at B.B. Kings which is another venue on 2nd Ave. We talked for a while and she even kino'd me a few times. I should have probably # closed considering I had plenty of IOIs and I know I had pre-selection but I'm not wanting her. My mind is on getting to Graham. We talk a bit, hug, then I walk down the street a little further.
I get out front and spot the usual guys working the door. They see me standing in a line behind about 60 or 70 people and they come get me. They hand me a free pass and put me in front of the line. I chat up the guys a bit and ask them if they need a water or Redbull. They are cool, and all is going well. I go ahead and get inside the place. I walk upstairs a bit to the 2nd floor and the local radio station has already setup a table with their free stuff on it. I look around for Ansley or Alexis but neither one is working in this area. I figure they are probably somewhere else and there is no one really on this floor so I head to the 3rd floor.
Holy Shit! The place is dead up here. It's somewhere around 11pm or so but its very dead for this time of night. I make my rounds talking to the singers in the karaoke area including Courtney. I get a drink from Leah who is the head bartender. She immediately knows what I'm going to order. I see Darby is working with her who catches my eye, as she has before but I've just been busy. I walk into the 3rd floor dance area and to my immediate left working the beer tub is Bianca, a very hot shooter girl. I get my usual hug from her and we talk for a short time. I walk to the DJ booth and say Hi to him, and see Jo working the back beertub. I toy with her a bit negging her on this thing she was wearing. It's very loud because we're right next to the dance floor. My thoughts are Jo would be an amazing target being about an HB9. She works here and at Fuse and would make an excellent woman to be close to. The logistics suck though because of the extremely loud music, and there is no place for me to really lock in here.
I decide to gracefully eject and get a hug. I notice several sets are paying attention to me know but I'm not done making my round and they are going to still be there later. I head up to the roof and I can see the band is doing a good job. Most of the people are up here. I can see Tanya is working the bar. I can see Jackie chatting up a group to sell them some shots. Most of the sets are mixed outside of a few 2 and 3 sets that aren't too bad. I go to Tanya first to get a hug from this good looking blonde woman. I am doing this with my hired guns to DHV flash to the rest of the bar, in case I want to open soon. I don't I get another drink and smoke deciding how I'm going to work this. Since I want a hired gun and I don't really spot many sets I want I figure I'm going after Darby. She's cute, caught my eye before, and I need to get to know her a little better. Before I do I go over and talk to Jackie for a while and see how she's doing. I compliment her on her outfit that she's wearing because she did look extra cute.
Anyways, I head down stairs to the 3rd floor Karaoke area bar. I see Terry who normally works there and it's his birthday. He's starting to get really drunk and he's with several girls. I go over and say hello and get introduced to the girls that he's brought with him. I chat them up some more. Then out of nowhere Courtney comes up and hugs me from behind. I spin around and decide to tickle her a bit to punish her. I can see as she's laughing and trying to get away that this two set to my 10 o'clock is giving me some serious eye contact. I also see a 3 set doing the same to my immediate right. I'm thinking in my mind this is perfect. Since she's too squirmy I say to Courtney, "there is only one way to settle this like adults....THUMB WAR!" I cheat and I win.

She gripes about it, and I say, "Geez it's just thumb war!" She has to get back to work.
I walk right over to the 2 set. They are both blondes and look in like they are in their early 20s. They are both seated so I go over and as I'm taking a seat, "Do you guys want to take on the thumb war champion?" They laugh a bit, and then don't say anything. I tell them I am deadly serious about the thumb war, and it's my profession. They keep laughing at this stupid stuff which are obvious IOIs. However, I'm not worried about these girls I'm just making sure Darby is noticing.

It is my complete intention the entire time to pawn this set later. These two women are sisters and we are having a good time talking about different things going on around us. It's not long before these girls are touching me if it wasn't obvious that I didn't have IOIs already. They are touching my thighs, and my chest which are a big sign. I'm kind of worried that this might be a little too much interest being shown and my hired gun, Darby, my believe I'm with these women. I figure more IOIs is better than too few. I move to the bar with the 2 set as the girls are getting drinks. One of the sisters asks me if I dance. I tell her, "yeah but not with you."

She calls me a shit. I am starting to talk to Darby at this point, and I roll by body language to face her. They tell me they are going to dance. PERFECT!
Picture of Darby from her MySpace!
In between customer's coming up we start talking about her. I say to her, "I have been wanting to talk to you and get to know you for a while." She says, "Well the one time I wanted to talk to you, you just wanted to talk to BIANCA!" I said, "Bianca is a good friend of mine....shoot she's even on my MySpace. We talk quit a bit about stuff. I didn't mean to be rude but it seems like you're always busy or I am talking to someone." She says, "yeah that's true!" She is giving me a whole lot of eye contact. I'm thinking to myself all I have to do is pretty much not screw this up. I say to her, "Please...tell me that there is more to you....than just working here." She mentions her family situation, her being a full time student, and her occassionally seeing some guy. Then a customer walks up. I just lay back and chill.
She finishes with a few customers, and then comes right back over to me, sitting close to me and leaning in towards me. I lie a bit and say to Darby, "The last thing I heard was you are a full-time student. Tell me what do you study, but not before you grab me a Redbull, please!"

She brings me the Redbull, and it's not opened. I look at it quizically and she gets the hint and opens it for me. I'm laughing inside. She tells me about how she wants a Masters in Psychology. BINGO WAS HIS NAME O! I know this is going to be easy. I start talking about my fascination with human interaction ascpct of it. I start grouding in her reality. I ask her, "Without further thought.....if you could do anything....your passion....money or anything else not a factor.... what would you do?" Darby says to me, "OMG, thats a good question." Then we're interrupted by another customer. She finishes and comes back again. She thinks about it for about 10 seconds and tells me what she's doing. I tell her I'm proud of her living her dream because so few actually do.
Some good music comes on and she's dancing to it as she helps another customer. She shoots me a few glances and a wink as this girl comes out of nowhere and gives me this look. I beckon her over and say, "What was that look for?" She's an HB7 Burnette who has no idea who's she messing with. She says to me, "What look?" I say, "You know damn well the look I'm talking about, when you eye me like that." She says, "Whatever" I chuckle and turn back to facing Darby. The girl turns and goes away. I know she's attracted to me but I don't have time for this shit.
Darby says to me, "Who was that girl?" I say, "Hell if I know." We continue talking about psychology and my passion in life of writing. She talks about how she likes to paint to appease her artistic side. I glance at my watch it's about 1:50am. I say to her, "Why am I drawn to you?" She says, "Because I'm nice and I'm genuine!" I say, "You are definately genuine!" She quips right back with, "What I'm not nice!" I say, "Well you are genuine, you do have a good energy, and you're cute! However, there are a few more qualities I require that I'm not sure you have." She says, "Like what?" I say, "I'm not sure if you have the right outlook on life that I desire and secondly if you can keep this energy level up? Don't worry you'll probably say something to piss me off." Laughs. Then we're interrrupted by another customer. This is the price of gaming a hired gun, frequent interruptions. She comes back over to me. I say, "Okay so before we were interrupted..." She cuts me off and says, "You were saying how you're attracted to me." I say, "I didn't say that I said I find you genuine and interesting."

I further on by saying, "So how can we continue this conversation later?" She says immediately, "Well we're talking now?" I say, "No later how can we talk outside of here?" She says one second, and turn to helps someone else. She then writes down her email, myspace, and phone number on a piece of paper for me. I memorize it quickly and put it in my pocket. I make a comment about her myspace name and we talk about that for a while. She all smiles and great eye contact as we continue with some more fluff talk. I tell her, "I want to be clear about something in that I'm not looking for a girlfriend, I just like meeting, and dating new people. Sure if it happens that I get a girlfriend then it happens. Are you cool with that?" she says, "Very!"
It's time to get out of the club before it gets crazy. I say, "Look I'm going to have to leave soon...it gets weird out there around 2:30 or 3am." She agress with me completely. She goes to give me a hug and I point to my cheek to get a kiss. She's at work and I'm not sure how far to push it. As we are hugging and she starts to pull away she looks into my eyes and then to my lips doing a triangle gaze. I kiss her. The kiss turns to a french kiss! Customer's are waiting and watching as this becomes about a 15 second nice kiss. I am damn happy! She hold eye contact the hold time, and says, "Bye" making a pouty lip! I say, "I don't say Bye how about until next time!" She likes that, "Until next time!" she says to me. I smile at her and walk away.
Terry is just about 7 feet away and I say goodbye to him. He says, "Dude you are like the ladies dude!" He's a little drunk. I say, "What the hell?" He says, "Dude you are like the ladies dude! Everytime I see you here you got some woman with you kissing on you or something." I say, "That's kind of the idea to being single right?" We laugh and I say bye to a few more people before I go to leave. I get downstairs and talk to the door guys for about 5 minutes before I go to walk to my car. I text Tripp to tell him I've gotten what I wanted.
