Away Sarging

Great night.. Opened a great set by establishing some good social proof.

I headed down to sacramento to fly out in the morning for Boston. First stop i decided to hit the poker room while i killed some time for the clubs and bars to fill up. I won a nice chunk of change and had some fun. I was worried that being quiet on the poker table would kill my social vibe but when i got into town i ended up asking a guy about the good nightspots and got into the social vibe. He of course sent me to two Gay bars.. I'm not sure if he didn't know or was pulling a fast one on me. Luckily someone in the bar knew of a good straight club. I pull up and go striaight to the bar for a drink and open a guy waiting as well. He was from brooklyn and very friendly. He introduces me to his buddy and an UG. Either way it was great social proof and i bounced off them everytime i stalled with the other set. A lone 2set was watching the guy on stage play and i opened with a simple direct opener "Whats the band's name?" They didn't know and started making fun of him so i joined in and got them laughing a bit. The social dynamics part of this set was golden. I hit the obstacle first, although she was cute enough i would have been happy with her. The obstacle started to open to me and gets into our conversation. I run the BF test on them although it kind of backfired. They were roomates and actually did use the same shampoo and didn't need to look at eachother. So i just flipped the test around and said they passed anyway. It actually worked and they both started liking me more. I teased them a bit but kind of hit a plateau of escalation and never got much further with them. Enough to keep the interaction going but never enough to do anything with it. Their friend even came back and liked me quickly. I had the attention of the 3 set pretty well but i ran out of stuff to say and it stalled hardcore when a very loud band was playing and i couldn't run any game. After the band was done the set left. It was about 1am i lost momentum and failed to open another set. I left and went back to play poker some more and kill time.

Good night. I definetly realized how important getting into a good social vibe is. To me when i'm solo its the matter of success and failure.

I tried sarging lastnight here in boston. But i spent the whole day walking around by myself and not being social. I just couldn't pull it out when i came time. I have lots of excuses why i bailed without opening a set but it came down to breaking entropy.
