Days 16 & 17: Oktberfest & Aftermath

Monday
On Monday we went out to enjoy Oktoberfest.

Actually, we were supposed to go to Erotik Messe (adult convention) and have Mr M teach us pornstar game… but we arrived there to find the convention centre eerily quiet and empty, only to find out that the convention was running on the weekends only.

And so, we went to Oktoberfest, where Mr M made it his number one priority to get us drunk on beer and hitting on girls.

There really isn’t that much to say about what happened – I’ll just let the pictures tell the story:

I ended up having late-night tapas with Vyron and Keychain afterwards. Keychain had pulled a busty German blonde early that day, and with facilitation from Vyron’s couch and a dirndl had quite a bit of fun. I’ll let him tell that story though

Tuesday
Not much happened today, except for our flight back to London. We’ll be taking care of some housekeeping in London before heading out to Stockholm for some adventures in Soul.

Now that I think about it, there are two blogworthy items here.

The first was Vishal spotting Rachel Bilson at the airport. He comes up to me and says “Aaron, don’t look back but there’s an actress behind you.” The terrible thing about this was that it made me (and everyone else) super-nervous and we just let her walk away. For reference, I found this photo on Google:

It’s interesting though – I have no idea who Rachel Bilson is, and if someone had said “veto” I would have just gone, unaware of her social status or value. I suppose this goes to show just how much of this is all in our heads, beliefs and what we know (or don’t know) about the world. It’s also made me realise that having as much fun as I have had so far in Rockstar, there is still a long way to go. That natural instinct, which Daxx spoke so passionately about a couple of weeks ago, is still not there in me. In my mind, I can picture a bunch of the lads from back home, completely unaware of “approach anxiety” or the Community or pickup or social dynamics, spotting some hottie actress and saying “first one to get her number gets a beer!”

Takeaways

• Don’t get Mr M drunk. And don’t let Mr M get you drunk.
• Internalisation. I need to spend more time internalising what I have learnt, and applying it throughout. When asked to approach, there is little anxiety or hesitation, but even then, there is that tiny splinter left. It’s time to pluck it out and move onto the next level.

Highlights of the Day

• Vishal and I spotted 3 cute girls on the plane. I passed him a note- “Jailbait anyone?” He wrote back- “I’d trade a month for that!” LOL
