Truth.
Last night was pretty lame...and I know I said fuck it as I was leaving, but now as I'm thinking back, I'm a little ticked about it.
At the beginning of the night, a good number of the sets out there where mixed sets. I realized last night that I pretty much never open mixed sets...and so when that's all that is available, I'm at quite a loss.
This is something I've got to work on.
Toward the end of the night (like right at the end), I opened a couple of sets that started decently....but one of the girls (dance floor chick) turned out to be reallllly drunk.
The other set was a shit-test machine (those so-called 'strippers' that where actually a re-open from earlier). There's no doubt in my mind that it was definitely possible to plow those STs they gave, I just didn't follow through.
In fact, I actually caught the blond i was talking to staring at me when I looked away....but when I went in to call her out on it, it wound up sounding really needy. I immediately became self-aware, got a little embarrassed for sounding needy (not sure why?), and ejected.
Instead I should have just moved off of her for a second and opened one of her friends for a bit.
On a side note, I would like to say that I was able to run a really good stare-down with that blond at one point.
She asked me some question at one point, and I didnt respond, I just shut up and stared into her eyes for a good 20-30 seconds with a little smile.
I'm still amazed that that works so well...I was waiting for her to break the silence and move back to her friends, but she didn't...she just kept contact and laughed a couple of times.
Anyway, I think you're right about the bad state. I've noticed that most sarge nights, for me, generally start out low-energy and eventually things build up.
Last night, nothing really built up...
Overall, there weren't too many easy-to-open sets last night which is a change from the usual BF/Sherlocks that I've become used to.
I won't accept that as an excuse for a shitty night though.
I'd like to try and go back there next Wednesday (when the crowd/environment is similar) and use it as a control to tune myself to do better.
I think if I can do better in a tough-open place like that, then god knows what I'll be able to do at other, easy-open places (BF/Sherlocks/etc).
