June 9

Slept odd hours last night. Woke up, watched Zombie Strippers. Great movie!

Upon arriving at Saddle Ranch, we learn that one of the bartenders died. I saw girls crying at the bar. I was depressed.

I notice a girl eyeing Nomad on our way in. I let him know. He opens her. I walk around and wing him. The girl’s from Iowa so I run the eat shit and reckon/yonder routines on her. She’s unimpressed. I talk to some guys instead. Eventually I’m done and leave. I’m not winning the girl over and she’s not interfering with Nomad.

I greet some people who are mourning.

Eventually Nomad leaves his set. I apologize to him if I had fucked anything up and tell him I’m upset about Johnny.

I get a Guinness.

Two black chicks are saying something to the bartender who just got me my drink, so I ask her if they are causing trouble. They respond well. I play with both of them. The shorter one is more responsive so I put my arm around her, playing with her hair, running smart tests, smart/hot/rich, thumb wrestling. She’s from a place I’ve never heard of before, so I say, “I’ve never kissed a girl from before…” and go for a kiss. She backs off and I continue talking. At some point I overgame her. Nomad tells me he’s going to The Standard. I continue gaming the short girl. 8 girlfriends. She’s being dragged away. One night stand number close. She’s dragged away before I can finish. Oh well.

I go to The Standard. I say hi to the promoters and photographers.

I see a hot blonde sitting by herself, but she’s talking to some guys next to her and there’s no room for me to sit down. Her friend comes by so I open her instead. Horse girl, smart tests, smart/hot/rich. She has to go, so I go for her number. She says she has a boyfriend and leaves.

What the hell, I hit on the blonde as well. Sex last week. She’s so shocked she walks away. Well I blew out the competition as well.

A tall girl walks by. I’m about to open her when she says my name. Fuck. We talk a little. She has to go. I tell her I’m an asshole and don’t remember her name. I get it, but now I’ve forgotten it again.

The guys are going back to Saddle Ranch so I leave with them.

I go into Saddle Ranch, guns blazing.

I see a well tanned hot blonde by the bar. As I walk toward her a hot friend goes up to her. I summon Nomad. We go in. I horse girl the friend. She’s not having it. She repeatedly backturns me, but I continue. Eventually she walks away. I intercept the blonde on her way out. Smart tests. She passes but she leaves.

Two girls and a guy. The guy’s talking to the chubbier girl so I talk to the thin girl. Horse girl. Doesn’t work. Somehow I get blown out. Driver says the moment I approached the guy put his arm around the thin girl’s waist, haha. Danger, Will Robinson!

I see a black girl eyeing me, but she’s sitting with a guy. Horse girl, smart tests, smart/hot/rich, tour guide. “Don’t take me to a cemetery and expect me to have sex with you.” The guy holds the girl’s hand and tells me that there’s a party at The Standard. I leave before I piss him off, though he seems too gentle. On my ejection I tell her I’m going to leave, but that she can’t fantasize about me. She smiles. The boyfriend’s dumbfounded.

Nomad wants to go. I’ve hit on most of the girls at the bar. We leave.

I am still antsy at home. I go out with Dylan and his friend.

I see a guy and girl with a camcorder I saw earlier. Earlier I asked if they were making a porno, so I asked them how the porno was doing. We chatted a little, then left.

I saw a girl with pink hair in a liquor store. I go up to her and she opens me. I accuse her of stealing my look. We fake argue, then hug. They leave the store.

I see a group of people outside a bar. I join them. I ask the fat girl if the bar’s closed, ask where the afterparty is, allude that I’m not from here by saying this place sucks. There’s one hot girl in particular and I try to work my way into the group to talk to her, but never get a chance to do so. I follow the group as they walk to their cars until I get to my place.

The last two nights I emphasized kino and avoided talking to my friends while not in set. Concentrating on these two things improved my approaches a lot. I’m not sure if my improvement had anything to do with going solo in Canada.
