It is gonna take me a few days to totally decompress all that went down last weekend.  The first thing I wanna do is write down my thoughts on each of the guys I met this weekend.  If there is anyone I forgot, I will try to get back and add them in later or throw ‘em into another post.  Ok so here is my review of all the guys I met.

Helicase – I am probably the only fan this guy already has.  But it’s for the funniest reason.  He’s really new on the scene.  About one year ago he took a one on one with DaHunter.  And if you know me, you know that I got obsessed with DaHunter’s blog last Spring and I read every single post over a weekend.  So I read the whole progression from student to close friend and wing.  So last weekend I finally met him.  I mean I met a character from one of my favorite stories.  This guy is sound as a pound.  When I accused him of messing up our set by switching targets in the middle, he went holy crap and grabbed the other girl and left me alone with the one I liked.  She ended up running out of the room accusing me of making her feel like a whore.  But Helicase really stepped up by letting me try to save it.  The guy is an inspiring instructor.  He runs really loud LA game, even though he’s from Chicago.  I am not sure why he’s not more famous yet, but this guy walks the walk.  His students love him.  His game is tight as a drum.  And when he gets drunk he is crazy/funny as hell.  I was talking him out of fights with cars in a parking lot for like an hour.  It was solid gold.  He keeps close to his friends and I really enjoyed his company.  Sound as a pound…..PS I just remembered.  If you can’t order off the secret menus at InandOut and Jamba Juice Helicase doesn’t think that you’re American.  He wants it to be on the new test for citizenship.

Suave – He came out with us Friday night as well.  I honestly didn’t get to spend as much time with him as I would have liked.  I knew him from some forums, so I was curious to put the man with the legend.  First of all, Sheriff told him that he looks like a Centaur from the Narnia movies, and holy crap he does.  It’s the strangest but best call I’ve seen in ages.  I watched the 2nd one on the flight home just to double check.  Anyways, here is what I did see.  This guy is a behemoth.  He is really tall and thick.  The guy is friendly and just opens everyone he sees.  He’s quite jolly and I like that.  I didn’t spend enough time with him to see his deeper game, but I like the guy.  I’m cynical as hell, so at least I met someone cool.  I look forward to chilling with this dude in the future.

Sinn – He totally ignored me every chance he got.  Like he made a point of being really rude to me, when it was totally unnecessary.  I never went after him, but all of his friends were out chilling with me so we ran into each other about a dozen times.  We even gamed 2 girls on the same couch for about an hour Saturday night.  So I got to hear all of his deeper game.  Man it was pure routines.  The girl with me kept laughing at his lines.  Especially the almost kiss routine.  I was really surprised.  And I hate to hate on another guy’s girls, but I was shocked at the quality of girl around him all weekend.  My girl was way hotter than his and that really surprised me.  And smartass Rokker too.  The guy knows a lot of game, but he was straight mean to me so I got no love.

Fader – He recognized me standing in front of the hotel before anyone else was around.  I was really surprised, but he was super nice about it.  I didn’t see him game much, but his stories were pretty funny and he was a nice guy.  To me niceness = value.

Moxie – We never got to have a proper chat, but he remembered a post I wrote to him a while ago on a forum and was really nice to me all weekend.  He was super high energy with me all weekend and shouted my name and gave me lots of high fives all weekend.  I was feeling sick all weekend so I never hit his energy level.  But again he was a really cool, nice, high-energy dude.

Sphinx – This dude is cool.  He reminds me of home in a major way.  He is a soldier dude and I come from a soldier state.  We chatted for a bit at the beginning.  I wish I had a little more time to chat to him and I’m really hoping that Prestige and him take me up on my offer to visit london.  Anyways, he is going to be on Keys to the VIP soon and I can’t wait to see.  He was talking it up so I have a good feeling.

Prestige – This dude and Sphinx roll together.  They live in the same town and are super tight.  You ever met someone and know that they could kill you?  I had that feeling with Prestige.  Obviously, I am still alive, but only because he wills it.  This guy is super nice though.  Which is really great.  He is not a soldier-dude at all.  He really separates work from play and I respect that a lot.  We joked around some and had a really good vibe.  Sometimes I meet a dude and just feel super comfortable.  We were both out instructing Saturday night and at one point I’m leading a girl through the club while winging a student.  We are walking past Prestige and I just push him outa the way as a joke.  The girl was like holy crap.  I was like oh.  All the tough guys bow down to me.  She was in total shock.  I was like just kidding that dude is my friend.  So she started breathing again.  Any dude that let’s me get away with that is a damn legend in my book.  I can’t wait til he comes to London with Sphinx.

Big Business – He didn’t kill me after my joke that his name used to be Little Business.  I appreciate anyone who let’s me tell my jokes.  I didn’t expect such a little, adorable guy with a name like BB.  But there you go.  I never saw him game, but we chilled out a lot and it was really smooth.  He’s a super nice guy and well worth chilling out with.  We had some lovely times by the pool together.  I really respect his confidence wearing the same shirt for 5 days in a row.

Biskit – This guy is French Canadian, so out of the gate he’s got a major disadvantage.  He seems to have dealt with his challenge really well and overcome.  He’s like an after school special.  He is really friendly and loved my idea of helping out in London when we have French students.  I think his bilingual skills can really be an asset.

TenMagnet – When Ten and Cajun walked into the room it was like when the dwarfs roll in during lord of the rings.  I was dying.  They aren’t that short, but the definitely got the dwarf-walk down.  Plus they are canadian so they wear a lot of denim and animal skins.  I would say that I made my best connection with TenMagnet this weekend.  We just really clicked.  He’s a super cool, honest and nice guy.  He’s unassuming and he doesn’t waste time bragging.  We chilled a lot in field and by the pool.  He’s hilarious and I wish I had been well enough to get drunk with him and learn Canadian songs.  His concept of game is really good and straightforward.  I hope he comes to Europe again soon so I can learn from him.  But really I just look forward to chilling with him again.

Cajun – His rep is so big right now that I didn’t know how to approach him.  So he just walked up to me and started asking about Sasha.  He knew exactly who I was and we chatted a bit.  He’s a really unassuming guy, especially considering how much everyone worships him with his Keys to the VIP win in his pocket.  We chatted and chilled.  It was wicked casual and I got a lot of respect for that.  He sure has to field a lot of questions about that tv show.  I did wish his cousin was around, as I would have been interested in meeting him.  Anyways, we had a chill time and I was lucky enough to work with him Saturday night.  He has a really casual leadership style, which leaves a lot of room for my wings to spread.  I hope that I get more time to chill with him in the future.  I now have a really positive opinion of Canadians.  I think I will make a point of going there in the near future.

TSB Guys -  I met the three dudes from The Seduction Bible.  They were really cool and just fun to hang out with.  They listened in to some of my coaching and asked a lot about my methodology etc.  It was really fun to be interviewed.  I hope they write up an article about me.

Jake P – This guy is one of Brad P’s new proteges.  I was really impressed by Brad P’s speach, but I was too nervous to push my conversation when I met him.  I actually froze up when Jake introduced me.  But I felt comfortable working my sidekick game.  I feel comfortable with that, as it brings me back to my uni days.

DaHunter -  I have wanted to meet this dude for 6 months.  Ever since I fell in love with his dark, dark blog.  Shame he hasn’t posted since then.  I had to read it all in a weekend.  Like watching a whole season of Lost in one go.  I ran into him while I was running Starlight to his car to say goodbye.  And so I only got like 3 minutes and at first I didn’t realize who he was.  My biggest disappointment of the weekend was only getting 3 minutes with this animal.  I enjoyed chatting to him and he seemed really chill.  I almost wanna fly back to LA right now just to go in field with him.

Kisser – This guy is so damn nice.  I mean if you meet him, consider yourself lucky.  I have wanted to meet him ever since I read a few of his forum posts a few months ago and he really lived up to my expectations.  We spent some good time chilling and got to work together Saturday night.  He was so nice to my dad and really, genuinely interested in him.  It was cool.  His game is insanely good and it was really nice to meet someone who qualifies girls for the same quality as me, niceness.  We had a really good talk about that.  It was cool.  I really hope he comes out to London for a visit.

The Don – He taught my bootcamp ages ago.  He only met me when I was a lot fatter with much longer hair.  So of course I assumed he wouldn’t recognize me.  I was dead wrong.  After the first instructor chillout meeting, waiting for the elevators he looks at me and goes holy crap!  Dude you look so different.  It made me feel really good.  I give him a lotta points for that.  We didn’t get to chat much after that, but I always felt really welcome around him and that counts for a lot.  safe.
