Thursday Martini Park + pics from day2

It is very rare for me to go out in Dallas plus I have rules (like no escalation) making it annoyingly frustrating at times. Last night I was at my usual Thursday bowling league until after 11pm. I also happen to have a nice bet with good odds on Boston to win the NBA Championship so the 20 point comeback put me in a good mood. Decided what the hell and to hang for a few at Martini Park with my boy Jdwhat.
Driving over I was able to catch one of my favourite DJs on BBC Radio One – Colin Murray (thanks Sirius). Not fond of the Irish accent but he constantly plays outstanding stuff. Music is in my blood and I live for that energy.
I digress but check out the new album from Icelandic band Sigur Ros. In particular I adore the track 'Ãra Bátur'. The song is simply beautiful. Just like a woman. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x17cFmFGKRk[/url]
Arrive at Martini Park around 11.30pm and the place is pretty lively as usual for a Thursday night. Older crowd mostly but there are definitely some younger girls in the mix. We head up to the top bar, grab some drinks and chat a little about the “pickup podcast†I was listening to earlier. Cajun and Tenmagnet were interviewed and put on a good show and they and they talked about “Keys to the VIP†– some Canadian TV program Cajun was just on. From the little I saw of Cajun I like his game. We have similar ideas on how to succeed with this stuff.
Not too much is happening at the top bar so we move down by the dance floor. HB opens me walking by on my shirt (which is pimp). Obviously I give her a funny look and she goes on her merry way ;) JDWhat and I chat for a bit and I spot that the UG behind us is listening to our conversation (which is about some HB in the VIP area - which by the way is super dork lame at Martini Park). I decide to bust her a little for listening which is amusing. We survey the scene and take in the female energy all around us. [NB. Observe everything at all times. Just like a chick.]
Next we hop down to the lower bar and grab another drink. I notice an older blonde chick who looks interesting from afar so we engage eye contact. She is with a fit black girl. JDWhat goes over to see what they are all about. I get my drink and move over to talk to them. Blondie doesn’t turn out to be very fit up close and black girl is boring so we chat a bit then make a move to the dance floor. Also honestly I was dorky and not into it enough to bother much. Bad form really.
By this point our energy is getting very good. The dance floor is the usual mix of chicks, a few half decent dudes with chicks and the parade of chodes just hanging around being creepy. Annoying dancing monkey guy is also represented. I have learnt a TON from JdWhat on dance floor game. It is very hard to explain in words but uber confidence + rhythm gets you noticed immediately on the floor. As Adam London would say "just make up anything". Numerous HBs gravitate around us and some girls flat out come over and open by sexual dancing – one HB9 in particular is digging me something sick. I blew her out hard and that established our value as #1 Cool guys high five us. It just cracks me up to see the douce bags hanging out on the fringes looking awkward and wondering why we are so relaxed with it all. One guy is literally stalking and staring down a set of girls. How little they know…
Decide to grab a smoke so we move outside. There are several good sets around. As we stand there two girls even move seats closer to us in a blatant attempt to get us to open. I open some dude and 2 HBs. It is on from the outset as the girls both fall over themselves to find out where I’m from, who I am, etc… while I totally ignore them with b/l, withdrawn eye contact, etc... The guy is pretty cool (amazingly for an American). He used to play goalie semi-pro soccer until he got taken out with a kick to the face by some Iranian dude. Now he can’t play due to metal plates in his face but his 21 year old son plays goalie at a high level (even though he is "only" 6'1 !!). We shoot the shit for a while and JdWhat is taking this set to advanced stages. I can’t escalate in Dallas so tell them I have to get back to my friends (noooooo they are so upset!!!!!!!!) and bail back into the bar. JdWhat sticks in the set but it turns out his target girl is engaged and he doesn’t want to mess (good morals).
We chill for a bit in the bar then its back out on the dance floor. It is getting late and things are heating up. I notice two girls at the bar – HB Blondie beautiful face nice tits and HB dark hair girl. They have chodes around them naturally but we move next door and see they are doing shots. “Cheers!†is the opener and of course it sticks (albeit it was delivered a little slowly) with the correct delivery then push-pull. The ladies want saved of course so quickly we dismiss the chodes with "chick talk" and get down to work.
HB dark hair likes and is talking to JdWhat (he opened) so my girl is HBblondie. She tells me it is her birthday and she is 21 which is patent bullshit. Then she says she is actually 24 but it is really her birthday. I bust her a little and she gets in my frame pretty easy.
Blondie says they don’t know anyone in Dallas and came out to people watch (surprise surprise) so we make fun of chodes together a bit (which always gets girls going). She is actually suprisingly cool and sarcastic and it amuses me when she gets animated and her funny Michigan drawl kicks in ;) She and her friend just moved here from Michigan and Florida to work in a new Coach store. We talk about Michigan, how much we love the West coast & hate Dallas (obviously thats why we both moved here). General life bullshit - usual stuff - to establish a good connection. Obviously I am leaving a lot out here but it is push-pull-push-pull until she chases. Lots of subtle body language cues. JdWhat is doing really well with HB dark hair so he gets the #close. I change the subject and she asks him to call her to make sure she got it.
The girls are into us and I am ready to exit this senario before things get any more advanced. They want us to go outside so we say we'll meet them out front. We meander around then go out where they are waiting for us. The four of us continue the vibe. People are drunk out front as it is close to or after kicking out time now. HB spots another HB girl with no shoes on (who is hot and she is jealous of I summize) and she wants me to say “nice shoesâ€. I tell her I’ll go one better and open the girl by busting her on the shoes which of course works great. Ain’t social proof dandy ;) LOL The no shoes girls wants to vibe. I'm done so I politely exit.
Back in our set we get opened AGAIN by random HB8-9 (can't exactly remember) who wants a light. Girls fumble around in their purses as I whip out the ligher. It is windy so I have to get up close and cup the flame. Girl gets her fag lit and starts talking!blondie dark hair are not too impressed and (again) I'm done so I say "There you go... That feels better eh?" a few times so as to shoo her along. HB8-9 moves along.
The girls want to go somewhere (their place clearly) so I make my excuses that I have to work early and they cry for a bit about that then beg us to hang out about 5 times and be their new best friends in Dallas. Blondie amuses me somewhat because she is hamming everything up and saying stuff like "seriously guys we would have so much fun". I make fun of Michigan by calling her a Kid Rock fan – she literally screams about this because she LOVES Kid Rock - HOW FUNNY. We walk and they end up following us and now somehow we are in the lot by their car and they just HAVE to show us the Florida plates.
Luckily there is a fight brewing in the lot so we pack the girls on their way (even thought they stay in the car for like 10 minutes) and move over to watch the action. Stupid drunk people fighting is always hilarious but this one seems like more posturing and bullshit so we go to leave. As we walk by the “fight†we make eye contact with one dude and he gets upset and now he wants to fight JdWhat. Bad idea as JdWhat is a damn good fighter. I tell the guy’s friend not to let this happen but he is stupid so his friend gets a smack down and flails around at JdWhat's head but can’t even land a punch. At the end the guy’s friend literally tackles him to stop him fighting as he is getting beat bad. Security shows up and we make our move. The guy’s friend actually shakes my hand. What a loser.
All in all not a bad night on the game field. HB 2 set was down with the program. This shit is mad easy if you know how but you have to practice to get good. Mad props to the real guys out there living this every day and as a lifestyle and often times as a job. I am a true gamer who likes to keep sharp but I don't need to dedicate my life to this.
Peace.
