Wingman of Gold

Instead of playing catch up, let's start fresh. Let's say all the characters are the same only one or two didn't make it past the pilot for our series.


So moving on. Time to tell a story, time to have some great adventure.... Did you have one? Great tell me about it.





Fascinating,
Holy...wait explain that last part. OK, I got it continue.


Why did she have a planet of the apes mask? Oh
Oh dear.

Well glad to hear it was resolved.



Well now if my adventures were closer to that I'd write more often.
OK my turn.

(Also this may be a 2 or 3 part post since It’s kind of a bear in one shot.)

Let's set the stage a warm Southern California afternoon, the kind of day where you get "Spring Fever" you know that itch that says “Get outside, run, sit in the park drink with a hobo and do anything but work.” Yeah one of those days.  So I'm heading home delightfully early in the evening when I get a call from Reyna "Whatcha’ doin' mister? I need to get out, I need a wing man." Now I don't know about any of you but when a beautiful woman says "Let's go hunting." I get my gear.  "Yeah, I'm in let me get gussied up." So cue cheesy Batman theme song from the '60's (yes the nananana,,nana etc) so this is one of those special nights where you know it could be a shit show but it will be the best looking train wreck ever. So its hard to out do a Queen and I do call her "Reyna" I do my best to look like I fit in. So I scoop her up and we're off to the races.


Bar 1: Great little place fun to have a chat with someone and shoot a game of pool. A couple problems everyone is coupled up and looking like they're only 2 drinks shy of last call. Nothing worth working on so we toss back our sailor and gingers. Chat, eye the crowd and decide to move on. We laugh on the way out because you notice "the look" its not bad its just a little shock "Why, are you putting in so much effort, why are making me look bad? Why is my date/s.o. Looking at them ooh I get it."


On too bar 2: Darker, dingy, not the night to be here. On other occasions this place is good. Really hit or miss for us in general we chat up the known bartenders toss down another set of sailor & gingers. Then walk across the street to a rarely hit spot but now we're getting adventurous.


Bar 3: Shitty EDM and dead, its us and the staff. One of the rare times we don't oblige the standard of 1 per bar. Now a little dejected we regroup. Rally the forces of will and faith and say screw it last chance let's hit the usual and if all else fails we'll get fushnickens and walk home.


So fourth bar in half as many hours.

Now "The Usual" is a hit for a variety of reasons the crowd changes nightly the drinks are good and you get everything from the articulate self starters to the down played  techies and everything else.
So in we go, now I do my best to be a gentleman at all times. Also I know the value of a good entrance. I look good I feel good but I'm not a show stopper. Reyna is, so in she goes I give her about a 3 second lead. Just as heads are turning and taking her in *pop* "here I is!" Pulling the full escort to the bar. We're setting a standard, men are looking at her women are looking at her but they’re also seeing our interactions. (my value goes up 6 points just on proper association.)

So we decide on drinks, break off and take laps. I find nothing, the only people I'm looking at are in couples but I'm not here for that. She's got the same bag couples and gay men. So we call it a wash let's start drinking. A round or two later after multiple conversations I met some cool people share a joke or two. We check in again and then we notice a couple of guys pulling a "divide and conquer". Not a problem she's a big girl and they're chill. So I start bullshitting with the wing man. Good guy evidently out with 2 others for a guys night before one gets married. I take a couple more laps check in. We all have a couple laughs and then the night changes.

So here is where I provide the proverbial cliff hanger. 0.o the night changed for good for bad for heavens and for true?? Well gimme a day or two  plus you get to ruminate or forget about this. Mostly and hopefully the former and not the latter.
