I'll keep it short because there isn't much to report. So here it is: Wednesday freezing night. Started at Social House around 10pm with Ray where employees almost outnumber the customers. They say it's hit-or-miss but I won't bet my money on it next Wednesday. Besides, we both had to get up early so it was mutually understood we'd call it a quits around midnight.
Bounced to M-Street afterward, where the crowd is a little better except it's ALL dudes. Seriously, if it weren't for a sitting two set at the VIP lounge the male-to-female ratio would approach infinity. We opened that set just for kicks - hooked a little (she asked whether Ray was my "boyfriend", on which I started out down the gay-story thread and got them laughing) but I wasn't too keen. Then the two of us chatted by the bar for a while, chilling and laughing at one old dude who was chicken-dancing on the deserted dance-floor. Then I spotted a black-leathered lady all cuddled up on a couch so I decided to see if that would open. Of course it did, given how frozen & bored she looked. We chatted a good 10 minutes (she works there) and it was all fun (she was telling me how there was shooting two weeks ago between two drug-dealers - perhaps next time sarging I'll wear a vest ; )
It was then approaching 12 o'clock already and the place was still a brewing sausage-fest. Two girls came in not long ago and was entertained by a dude. I was like what the heck I'm blowing myself out one last time and just walked up & opened - and it OPENED. Definitely hooked them (not quite sufficiently but not too shabby), should've teased them a little more to lock down - then we definitely had to take off and I somehow decided not to take my 35% chance of # closing (attraction wasn't quite enough and there was a chance of fake #s). All in all, we opened perhaps 50-75% of all the penis-less human beings at the venue and most boiled down to pretty nice convos. Bad night in terms of the crowd, but I figure that will set the bottom-line: even on a shitty evening there are enough to entertain myself over beer.
PS: Blame it on the cold weather - man it was freeZING and un-Texan. Just watch us when it warms up ; )
