So, I've never actually posted a lay report, but I thought this was an interesting experience and that I might learn a few things by putting it to text.

So I parted ways with my friends at 3 am, and was going to go home, and instead chose to walk by the door of a rooftop bar that I knew was a block away. I wasn't sure if I even wanted to go in, but I thought I would check out the crowd. When I got there I saw 5 people trying to get in, 3 girls and two guys. I could see that the bouncer was trying to get the girls to flash them. Just as I get to the door one of the girls does, and everybody gets let in. I just keep walking, merging with the group as they head to the elevator. One of the guys noticed what I just pulled and makes a joke about hijacking the girls' flashing to get in. I laugh and thank them, then introduce myself in the elevator. I happen to know the elevator guy and chat with him for a minute. When we get out of the elevator I go grab a drink and find that group again. All three girls are blonde, and I find out one is Swedish, one is Aussie, and one is fron New Jersey. The guys are Jersey and Aussie's boyfriends, and the girls all met eachother at another bar and decided to hang out for the night. The swede is only in town until the next day. I spend time talking to all of them and lead them around the bar a bit, pointing out sites you can see on different sides of the roof. When we get kicked out of one area because we don't have bottles, I take the swede with me to the bar, leading her with my hand on her back. I order myself a drink and ask if she wants one. At this point the aussie couple and the jersey girl and her guy rejoin us and are talking about going home, which coincides timing-wise with the bar closing. We all walk down, I let the two couples hail cabs. The swede tells me where her hostel is and, luckily, it's ten blocks away from my house. I tell her this, hail a cab, and just give my address. Unfortunately the cab ride is pretty bumpy and it makes the girl kinda nauseous. So, when I take her home I grab her a glass of water, then move us to the balcony so she can get some air. We chill out and chat for about half an hour, before I move her to the bedroom. The whole thing occurred from 3-5 AM.

Well played. It was good of the guy to joke about you taking the opportunity to get into the bar rather than being a dick about it. Good thing you decided to stop in and check out the crowd

Yup, that guy could have shut it down before it started.

Hah, I know exactly which venue you went to. Right place, right time, saw an opportunity, didn't hesitate and went for it. That's really what it's all about.

I think I know the venue too, it's GREAT in the summertime. I gotta make my way there a few times this summer

Yep, it's a pretty obvious spot to go to on a Friday. And yeah, I thought this was an enlightening LR because it really just was about seeing the opportunity and pulling the trigger, not using some crazy technique or anything.
