Collection of Field Reports

I'm sitting at the end of the couch, starring at some familiar faces and some new ones. The room is tightly packed with Future Pickup Artists, the energy is high, my ears attentive to what Monkey was presenting during the meeting. Laughter fills the room and it is a good time to be held by all, with tons of promise and information to be passed on.

Light bulb after light bulb! Even after my bootcamp in Toronto; I still find there's so much more to digest, so much more that I need to absorb and put into my daily life. And I can feel my mind racing - throwing in what advice I have based on my own personal experience. I live for this - social interactions, is truly my calling. I know...I want to do this for a living.

So we all break into separate groups. Myself, Saint and Karma break into one group, scouring the Whyte Avenue Night life, while the rest of the crew (of what seemed like easily 20 different PUAs) head towards Union. At this point I'm getting bored of that bar - the same music, the same vibe - and I thirst for something different. So we jump in our vehicles after pumping our energy states to a new level and collecting some new numbers (Number closed y'all! ) and we head towards Suite 69.

The night life on Whyte really isn't what it's cracked to be on a Thursday night, but we still managed to make the best of it. I walk in, eyeing two sets the first moment I walk in (the only two sets), which I spend no time hesitating. I approach a 2 set:

Charisma: "Hey guys; whats you're first impression of black nails?'
Set: Responds
Charisma: 'Okay, Get this! Me and my friends got suit up for new city; which we totally played the part to the extreme! Eye linear, black nail polish, the whole works. We'll we get on the elevator going down from my place; and this old lady gets on and stares at me accusingly and says...Are you like a Satan worshiper?! Which case, me being the lovable smart ass I am respond....We'll we are going down aren't we?' Which case the laugh and get energetic. Than with my head over the shoulder as if forgetting something, and ask about the night life on a Thursday.
Hb Target : 'There's not much for Night life on a Thursday unfortunately...' hands us a ticket for Suite 69 promotion and just realized I was running Hired Guns.

We than headed off to Wolly's, and ran another set, where I managed to lock in successfully and run the best friend's test. They seemed to respond rather well, and I was getting some IOI's from the one girl (this set was more for practice, than for actual gaming worth...but being social!) and we laugh and fluff for a bit.

We than head to Houstons to try our luck, only to be drastically disappointed. Saint than runs a 5 seated set, and I run game on the waitress as she comes by.

HiredGun: Can I get you anything?
Charisma: Nah - we're good for now, but since you're here, I'm going to get your input on something. See my friend right there? *points at Saint* We're having this debate about who lies more....men or women? He's so heavily focused it's women, and I think it's men. (go into root and have fun with the waitress)
HiredGun: Haha, well it really depends on the person...
Charisma: Well, I think I should let you do your thing for a while, don't want your boss to be all in your face, haha.
HiredGun: Ya, haha (sarcastic) It's so busy right now! (she than walks off)

Later on we than stop by Union to meet up with some of the boys, and it was a good experience; but not really much to comment on. Ran a few openers, befriended one girl and was very animated and we got along pretty well (PUA female friend). But as for locking in wise, kino, or even sets that stood out in my mind, were few at best. I managed to still leave with a healthy mind set, knowing fair well I did excellent and managed to have one good lock in and blew some minor issues I had with my mentality.

I will admit this, having 20 PUAs in one bar, was perhaps the most intimidating thing of all. I saw my sets I wanted to open, approached again and again and again. By the time I had a chance, the sets would barely respond, but thanks to a gambit that Saint taught me (*snaps fingers* 'Hey...party is over here...Jesus Christ!') allowed me to press through the rough patches and allow me to hold my own for a bit and deal with ADD crazy girls.

But it was a good night, and I had alot of fun - and looking forward to Stripper Game tomorrow...Which should prove interesting.

Wish me luck!

Set comes to an end.
