FR: I'm an Idiot!

North Beach Bop Again Aug 30th 2005 Sat night

4pm Saturday afternoon after getting a few hours of sleep from the night before I'm back in North beach meeting with Sameer. We're going to the Marina pub crawl. On our way to catch a cab we notice a bunch of people dressed up like golfers. Sameer opens a 2 set of girls and apparently there is a North Beach pub crawl also taking place. They seem friendly and give us a schedule and we catch a taxi over to Marina. We got there around 4:45 and it still wasn't packed. The main downfall was that it was a free-for-all and there were no scheduled bars movements. It was just go wherever you wanted to go. So we do it to it and start opening. Hmm. People seem mildly friendly, but nothing seems to be going to well. This was some bizarro world between day and night game. People were out to be social, but they were not in super-social mood. Reflecting back, both Sameer and I are actually high energy and I think that fact might have been blowing us out of set.

To sum up the afternoon: We took a cab to Marina, ran some sets, took a cab back to North Beach, ran some sets, took another cab back to the marina, ran some more sets, and then took the bus back to north beach an ran some more sets. At about 8:15pm we decided to go get some dinner. We had a few that were ok, but too be honest we didn't really get any sets to hook.

In fact, the best set we had for the afternoon was actually on the bus ride home. I started busting on a girl for carrying like 12 shopping bags filled to the brim. Sameer and I doubled teamed her, which might have been too much. She got off at the same stop as us and Sameer closed, but it wasn't too strong. We also both opened to the two Jagermesiter girls working at one of the bars and held them for awhile. That particular set was really solid, but I didn't close because she was a little old and not hot enough for me. I believe Sameer closed his girl.

Feeling a little defeated from the afternoon we headed back to Sameer's place in North Beach to chill out for awhile. We hung out in front of the TV just mellow and get pickup of our minds. It was about 9:15 and we decided to proceed back to the bars around 10pm. About 9:45 we turned the T.V. off and turned the stereo up to get back into state. We were laughing because we couldn't decide if we needed to warm up again or not. Energy levels were definitely lacking.

We headed down to Northstar which ended up being Charlie and the Sausage factory with dumb drunk Irish guys so we took off to Amante. Its funny though because I'm pretty sure we had some sets there, but I just can't remember anything about it. Things picked back up at Amante.

We were still in the warm up mind set, so we decided to open up this huge 7 set at the bar that were standing in a big circle. I walked in an accused them of guarding the bar. As soon as I was in Sameer jumped in and we carved that set apart like a thanksgiving turkey. I had isolated 3 of them and Sameer engaged the rest. We both held the that position for about 10 minutes and then we switched around and started engaging different people. By the end we almost had two of the hotter girls isolated from the group, but it was a bachelorette party and the ones not isolated finally pulled them away when they wanted to go to another bar.

So we open ups sets all day and the best one we have is a 7 set of hot girls. WTF? Still at the bar, two even hotter chicks walk up. Sameer engages one and I the other and we isolate within 15 seconds. Both of us are running strong banter and kino after having a really good set before that put us in a good state. In set with these girls for at least 20 minutes with no distraction. They were two hair stylists from Vacaville that were partying in SF with their Boss who was putting them up at the Ritz.

The boss (older, drunk, semi-cute) comes over and completely blows us out. It's obvious that although, the two younger ones are way hotter they take complete direction from her. We both head to the bathroom and debrief on the set and then decide to go back and get rapport with the boss, Linda. This works out perfectly. She basically asks us to show them around to all the cool bars since they're form out of town.

So, we roll over to Tony Nicks which is a much older and laid back crowd. Linda, the boss digs it but the girls are looking for dancing. At this point, we are going to have to do a same night close since they are out of towners. Getting the girls drinking and in a party mood are much more likely to expedite this process. We figure we're going to have to get some guy to pawn off on Linda, but one step at a time.

So we drag them over to Kells. This was a bad move for closing them. We went from completely chill laid back mellow environment to Irish Drunk Frat Boy central. They have music and two floors with dancing, so it sounded good at the time. In hindsight, there were way too many distractions. As I'm walking in with these two chicks, I see Italian girl from the night before. She seems and gets a huge smile. It looked pimp all the way around because she saw me walk in with two super hot blondes. At this point, Sameer was managing our three set while I was trying to game Italian girl a little to keep the attraction.

I meet back with Sameer and although, we probably were doing pretty good with the two hot girls, Linda was becoming a logistical nightmare. She was not happy with the bar, despite her girls were, and she was being the party popper for them. At this point, after such a long day and weekend, Sameer was over it. I also decided to let it go and not ruin chances with the Italian girl. We eject and Sameer leaves Kells.

So, Nicole (Italian chick) is out with her friends for a b-day celebration. I immediately buy the b-day girl a shot because she was from Chico and I befriended the group. This was a good call because they made the logistical side of the rest of the night possible. More dancing, more drinking…bars lets out. Her friends invite me back over to Nicole's apartment to have a slumber party. NICE! So, its me, Nicole, birthday girl (not cute) and friend who has a boyfriend all sleeping in a tiny ass room together. The two friends crash on the bed and Nicole whips out the air mattress.

Now, the same girl who said we weren't having sex the night before is all over me and going for it with her friends passed out in the bed right next to us. Awesome.

Lesson learned: NO MATTER WHAT IS PLANNED FOR THE NIGHT BE PREPARED. I was not prepared…no condom. LAME. That will never happen again. I called it a night and passed out.
