Hollywood

So I went to Beverly Hills to attend a workshop on how to be cool in clubs. No really, it sounds wierd, but its true. It was in a mansion about a block off of sunset. It was totally crazy. It got me totally crazy. I bought a ring yesterday, and jake bought two. I now own a leather cuff. I didn't even really know what that was before.

Imagine being a professional social guy. Its wierd, but these guys do this full time. They get paid to teach workshops, seminars and to actually take people out to clubs and make them interact wtih people. They call this "real social dynamics" and it has to be the funniest stuff I have played with for years. They are a cross between a player and a stand up comic. they have a series of routines and stories just like a comic has material for his stage performance. And these guys certainly view the social scene as a stage.

They don't drink. Don't do drugs. They are all stone sober.

But they have such an insight into the social workings of a venue its crazy. They can see through the veil of the matrix and into what is really happening on a deeper level. They use advanced tatics to pawn off people to other people, to occupy people, to actively ignore them and to attract them. They are professional social people.

They taught me and Jake how to have a good time at the bars. Sometimes when I go out, its lame. I sit around with my friends and drink and talk. Sometimes its funny, sometimes we talk to new people, but for the most part its lame. And we all have high hopes of meeting new cool people, but it never happens. Fast forward to this week where Jake and I are actively looking at our material, talking about what went right/wrong and then calibrating to fix the situation. After a bit, you don't even have time to worry about what the outcome of the process will be, you just know that your up for a good interaction. I have talked to more women of beauty in the past week than I have in a year.

It was all because of this free seminar at a hollywood mansion. Awesome
