part 19

so i make a mental note of the girls who are pretty much right behind us, and retake my seat. after not too long, i run my game on them. this consists of me looking back their way a few times, making bried eye contact, and then looking away quickly.

since this never ever works on anything ever, i'm surprised when i hear one of girls(99) laughing. i ask what's so funny, and she makes a comment about how when she went to say i have pretty teeth, she accidentally said pretty tooth, and they got a kick out of it. anyway...ice breaker done....i move in.

i go back and sit with them and start chatting them up. HF is still at the stage, and MB has wondered off again with his lady friend.

so after talking with them a few minutes i realize, hey, i'm really enjoying this. i mean, we're actually really having good conversation, and it's not them just whoring for attention like it always is elsewhere. they ask me what i think of some of the ways the girls dance on stage while they make fun of them, and i finally get insider information on how the girls feel about tipping at the stage(it seems that a dollar here and there is perfectly acceptable and appreciated). i also learn that they don't like guys throwing wadded up dollars at them.

so, in the back of my head, i'm wondering what the catch is. they haven't asked me if i want a dance. they haven't offered anything. they're just relaxing with me for a bit. so, i get us a round of beers b/c i like giving stuff to people when they're not expecting it or asking.

i go to the bathroom again, and when i come back, HF has taken my seat next to 99's friend. she's cute herself, but i'm totally into the 99. anyway, i'm annoyed that he took my seat, but then 99 is like, "why don't you come sit here?" she gets up so i can have her seat and sits in my lap.

MB finally reappears, and we hang out a little longer. then, for some reason, i think it's a good idea to mention the time (MB and HF have to work the next day). all of a sudden, MB freaks out and is like, dude we have to go now.

damnit, i was having fun. i'm drunk and don't realize that i could just take a cab later by myself...then again, i'm pretty tired to.

so somehow or another, i end up getting 99's friends # from 99. apparently, they're going to be together, and she's going to give me her # later or something...i don't really remember. bottom line, 99 gives me her friends # and tells me to call her tomorrow(sunday) before i leave, and we'll try to grab something to eat or something. there is no real climax to the evening, which is a bummer i guess, but i leave feeling pretty happy.

i forget to mention that one of the times coming back from the bathroom, i see GFOSC coming back from the back room looking pretty happy/satisfied. he knows how to do it right.

i make a comment to the waitress before we go about what time she gets off or something, but don't really put in effort b/c i'm thinking of the 99 chick.

we grab a cab, are completely obnoxious, MB passes out in the back, HF smacks him in the face a few times....you know the usual drive back from the strip club in vegas.

i hope out at my hotel, and walk to the poker tables (approx. 5-5:30am).
