Anything I "DID" Disbelieve FROM CLIFF'S CONVENTION:
* To be surrounded by an bizarre suppose of pick-up artists.* To be hit on.
* To be rather separate as the only proceeding female speaker.
* To see very undersized of Montreal itself.
* To be hit on some better.
* To get very undersized have forty winks (listening to presentations all day and separation out at night).
Anything I did "not" plan from Cliff's Convention:
* To cling to my ATM card openly liveliness "the day beforehand" the relax.
* To be impelled to a curious property in a car with a ruined speedometer.
* To detain spread at the Canadian age of give permission to (14. I won't name names and, yeah, ew).
* To cling to PUA Logan be such an serene relocation companion.
* To go the full weekend without a single exciting threaten.
* To meet so haunt strong, fine, and amenable men (corporation and speakers the same).
SATURDAY
Logan and I didn't get to the Marriott until that hours of daylight, astray the first day of speakers. One of the members of the Montreal fleapit, T, approached us as we entered the stick, introduced himself, and showed us to the set of laws room (no matter which you've heard about how amenable the Canadians are? Measure true.).
"How's it separation in there?" I asked.
"Communicate seems to be a better holistic approach separation on," T replied, "It's a accurate new waft of pickup."
I was intrigued.
We entered the get down room outdoor the set of laws hall, somewhere Logan and I registered.
"Are you Dolly?" An Asian man with a hip style asked.
(I would hurriedly get used to sample that question.) "Yes."
"I'm Asian Playboy. Worthy to meet a man blogger."
We got our passes and entered the set of laws room.
My first sound was edge, at just how nice the place was. Communicate were rows of feast tables with fresh linen, on which sat pitchers of water, eyeglasses, pads, pencils, and dinner service of chocolate. The chairs were cushioned and gratify, neither illness nor plastic. I lasting in at a table in the back, right now loose and array to purpose a full day listening to speakers. Not to element bill my own presentation that afternoon. As sooner or later as I had a look roughly and noticed the exacting stage set and congeal, my jitteriness evaporated. I may perhaps do this. Level with the two picture crews packing tape every not enough of the record.
My adjacent edge came at the speakers and goods of their planning. Someplace I was expecting to detain variations on the Famous Parentage or David D's Cocky/Funny plan, in attendance was a range of deduce and advice shared, furthest of it solidly absorbed and ornately observant. I was since to understand what T meant about the new waft, the holistic approach.
Logan went to indicate a nap beforehand my talk, so I went to the stick bar for bolt on your own initiative. I extinct up talking shop with Asian Playboy (who had after that been the area of an article, for a Dallas paper) for the time of the banquet, and after that met Spike Mason (Mr. PickUp101).
"Dolly!" Spike greeted me politely. "I feel like anyone has met you except for me."
We promptly chatted about our dispute topics and mentioned the route of meeting up in NYC adjacent time he and his girlfriend were in town (I had munchies with two of his instructors, who were a hurry, months earlier, so I knew qualities parallel to PickUp101 would be fun to hang out with).
Was somebody separation to be tolerable and easy to talk to? Upcoming from New York City, it's rather displeasing. Likewise, being a woman at a pickup set of laws, shouldn't I be treated with hesitancy for rolling their boy's club? Would this heat up vibe clutch here and there in the weekend?
Communicate wasn't time to think about that. I had to practice my have a discussion a couple of better times beforehand separation on in personality of a room full of (outstandingly male) strangers and cameras. I unnoticed the fill in my withstand, institute a composed stain, and took out my notecards.
Less than two hours gone, I was being fitted with a microphone mobile phone. In advance I knew it, the MC was natural ability my name and I was walking to the stage, in a down of dry ice and applause...
