About 150 pages in, great so far. Lots of great pieces in there. lots of stuff resonates with my experience, but that I never thought of in that way.

Oh, and the Austin slap story reminds me of something that happened to me. I was at a bar in NY and I see two girls sitting at the bar. I order a drink next to them and turn and say something. One of the girls turns to me and says, in a thick Irish accent "fuck you, you asshole american men can go fuck yourselves. Why are you all such sleazebags." I am in shocked silence, but my roommate, who has some of the best game I have ever seen (and has traveled extensively), turns to her and says "oh, you were born in belfast right? but you spent a lot of time in dublin?" She looks at us confused and goes "uh, yeah, hi" They start talking and I start chatting with her friend. The friend pulls me aside and says "im so sorry about that, she just got dumped and has been drinking hard for like 4 hours. You tried to flirt with her at the wrong time. She's normally really sweet." Meanwhile she's drunkenly trying to stick her tongue in my roommate's ear. At that point the girl who pulled me aside sees this and grabs her friend to take her home.
