(Before you read this, understand that this was written to address High-class Rooftop Bars and Hotel Pool Bars AT NIGHT. The absolute last thing you will ever see any self respecting G do, is hang around one of the aforementioned Bars, shirt off, greased down and dancing during the day. I was born with olive skin, Iberian genetics, so I don’t need a tan and as a rule, I try to stay out of the harmful UV rays…they make you look older. I can’t help but cringe at the thought of East Coast Guidos, Capri pants, blow out haircuts (is that what they are called?), sterioded out, trying to GHB girls and dancing to house music during the day. The thought of West Coast Trash in Los Angeles or Las Vegas, board shorted, greased up and tribal tattooed down and trying to GHB girls, equally makes my skin crawl. So keep in mind that this was written for Rooftop Bars and Hotel Pool Bars AT NIGHT. I just wanted to make that clear as an azure sky in deepest summer. By the way, when did straight guys start wearing Capri pants? And what the hell are these “Affliction” T-shirts infecting the world like the plague? Seriously, someone let me know, it looks like guys are walking around with puke on their shirts.)
There has been a proliferation of “hip” Rooftop Bars in America’s finest cities in the last few years (I use the term “hip” relatively loosely). I am typically opposed to new trends in Nightlife (I don’t know why we ever got away from Clubs with Everyone on Beans, Models, girls with Bangs and pigtails, lollipops, etc.) but truth be told, I don’t mind Rooftop Bars. Yeah, I understand that there are more Striped Shirts than at a Nordstroms and they serve you $20 cocktails in cheap Plastic Glasses. But, Bottom line is, you can pick up a lot of Fly Girls at Rooftop Bars and since you are outside, you can do it while smoking. Meaning you can look good while doing it.
There are a few things you need to keep in mind, however if you want to be successful at Rooftop Bars. The first thing is that there is less energy in Rooftop Bars as compared to indoor Clubs. This creates a situation with a lot of girls, static, in groups or sets. Not a lot of “swirl”. Typical Pick up Artist theory would suggest that you have a long night ahead of yourself of approaching sets and utilizing “Group Theory”. If you want a better handle on Group Theory, there are plenty of Pick up Artist sites out there. But approaching sets takes a lot of work and energy. Pick up Artists pick up on girls, G’s have girls pick up on them. If you want to pick up Girls easily with minimal effort, keep on reading…
Traffic Lanes
We have already discussed “Traffic Lanes” and “how the river flows” in Manifesto Destiny: Innovative Gentleman’s Club Concepts. Traffic lanes are equally important in regards to Rooftop Bars. Rooftop Bars typically have one entrance and usually the river will flow from the entrance to the Bar. Or from the Bar to the Bathroom. Post up in the traffic lane and every girl will pass by you at some point in the night. Free leads. Like a school of soon to be sashimied Alaskan Coho Salmon , all you need now is the right lure.
Public Enemy, Ice Cube, Big Daddy Kane, Burn Hollywood Burn
Solo
It is very important to be Going for Dolo when you are at a Rooftop Bar. It is less intimidating and girls are more apt to approach you when you are by yourself VS with a Big crew of hoods. Also, a lot of cats go the Bottle Service/ Cabana route. As I have said before, I am not really an advocate. Who wants to be stuck at a Rooftop Bar all night? There are too many fun things to do at night; there are hostesses to intercept as they are getting off work, Street Game to be spit, and Gentleman’s Clubs to dismantle. I can only stand so much of the Civilian Scene on any given night.
You want to give off an air of intrigue, mystery and sophistication when you are at a Rooftop Bar. I like going with a two button Navy Brioni (only $6700.00), custom crimson Borelli shirt, Gucci Belt, polka dotted Kiton Pocket Square, and Berluti shoes (dope shoes since 1895). Flash and statement making. If you dress like this, you will have girls running to you like the Dutch during Tulip Mania. You should also be tooled up in case you run into rival firms: a vintage Beretta 418 will give you the functionality and style points you are looking for. Italian suits and Italian heaters.

Cocktail
Always have a cocktail in hand. Something that will give off a certain Savoir faire and elegance (well, as much Savoir faire and elegance you can have while drinking out of a plastic glass. It’s not a bad idea to Smuggle in your own Glass rocks glass into Rooftop Bars for style points. Good conversation piece as well). Something simple. A Goose and Soda, for instance. Vino will also give you suavity and worldliness. Martini’s are ok, but since Rooftop Bars typically serve drinks in Faux-glasses (I think there are laws against having glass near a pool or a glass flying over the edge or something) it is not advisable. There is nothing stupider than drinking a Martini out of a plastic Martini glass. During summertime, Rooftop Bars are packed, so no Mojitos, Skippy. Now, I like Mojitos as much as the next cat (and I typically order a Mint Julip as my first drink every year at the Kentucky Derby for traditions sake), but when a bar is busy, you are a jerk if you order one. It is a different matter altogether if you order a Mojito during the day at uncrowded Maxine’s in The Catalina Hotel, in South Beach while spitting Game at a Swiss Miss Model girl from Irene Marie’s while pulling Sunshine Maneuvers.
Biggie, Hypnotize (with sample from Herb Alpert’s Rise)
Smoking/ Lighter
The persecution of smoking actually plays into The G’s hands in regards to Rooftop Bars. Let me explain…Since smoking is now a crime in most states, many girls don’t carry cigarettes anymore. But after a few cocktails, girls want to smoke them. If you have grits you will have more girls crowding around you than an early 90’s E-tab dealer at Narnia. I always carry a two pack minimum. This works especially well in Southern California; (typically I try to avoid Orange County, although I have swooped mad girls from Spy Glass, and Emerald Bay). And if you are going to smoke, carry a dope lighter. Dunhill, Dupont or Zippo. On the flip side, Guys that don’t smoke are at a huge disadvantage in Rooftop Bars. That is why whenever you check out the Top 100 International Playboy Rankings, everyone on The List is a smoker.
So next time you are at a Rooftop Bar post up in the Traffic Lane, roll Solo, suited down and tooled up, drink a smooth cocktail and clack your Zippo. The hook is set; you just need to reel them in. The Rest is Up to You……..

2. Digital-capable +/- Analogue Police scanners on waist utility belt.
3. Digital radio in car. Pioneer CD/MP3 player. GPS(TomTom? research needed). Mobile-Infrared Trip Device.
Laser detectors, jammers & veil. Phantom plate & spray.
Infrared GPS-based camera detection. Radar-based camera detection.
4. Two-Way radios. (Either links your to your buddy, or to the scanner in your car,
in which case you can dump the scanners ones on your waist)
6. Coloured contact lenses, black nomex balaclava/skimask, black sunglasses, black bandana.
Oakley/Scott eye protection.
7. Chase Durer special forces watch, (Jack Bauer watch? lol.), casio digital watches.
8. Checking they are not home.
Don’t use landlines or mobile on the same day. Don’t ever mention your career on the phone. Leave your mobile at home.
If you must use one, use a payphone, or a spare pay-as-you phone. Hide your number (141 in the UK)
Burn the sim-card, throw the phone in the lake where you dumped that silly woman, lol.
9. “Digital Signal Processing” electronic voice changers.
Do you really want to go jail because the woman recognised your voice as identical to “that man in the balaclava”?
It’s already happened to one guy in America. Your voice is as individual as your DNA.
10. Footprints. Forensic problems + dirt placement. Rubber moulding can be used, but this affects the grip of the shoe.
You could just tape the bottom of your boots/shoes with thin strips of duct tape.
However, the police can still attain your shoe size from this.
Shoe size can be matched to approximate height, which if a seperate witness (post-crime) comes forward
can make you look a bit dodgy. I ain’t playin’ by whitey’s rules.
11. No fingerprints on any tools that are worn while inside a target. Surgical gloves + Rubbing alcohol.
(in case of a confrontation and dropping a Maglite or similar tool)
12. Don’t keep Stolen Goods in your own house, or anyone elses for that matter. Bury them in the woods.
Record the GPS location.
Keep the recorded location in a non-computerized non-digitized format (on a piece of paper!) somewhere hidden.
Better yet, memorize the co-ordinates.
13. Don’t keep Burglary Tools in your own house, or anyone elses for that matter. Bury them in the woods.
Record the GPS location.
Keep the recorded location in a non-computerized non-digitized format (on a piece of paper!) somewhere hidden.
Better yet, memorize the co-ordinates.
14. Leave no witnesses, prior, during and after, if at all possible.
It is very possible to remain unseen prior to the Burglary/Heist, and during it, but never underestimate the impact of being seen near the scene of the C, especially afterwards.
Even if you are not suspicious, the very fact you were seen is bad enough.
Being seen includes the possibility of forensic composites (drawn by sketch artists or computer) being produced.
15. 1/3/5 – Minute rule. Self-explanatory.
16. Cellular jammers(x2), 1) clamped to alarm panel, 2) worn on belt. www.spymodex.com
17. Wireless frequency jammers (x1), needs large range(high power), worn on belt. www.spymodex.com
18. Fingerprint dust for alarm panel, rubbing alcohol. Tiny camera can be planted if you’re prepared to bug them in order to
get the code.
19. Dogs can smell fear, don’t let it happen. Blane Nordahl walked past sleeping dogs, so can you.
28. Alibi: plausable deniability. “Officer, how could I have been there? At the supposed time of this crime I was out at the x vs y boxing fight in NYC”.
29. Computer equipment should never enter the target location, except for very special circumstances.
Tactical, military, and radio equipment is preferred.
30. Smoke grenades, Flashbangs, Tear Gas.
31. Gas masks.
32. The police essentially have 3 things to work on. Evidence, witnesses and ‘modus operandi’.
The police are good at their job, but cannot solve the impossible.
Some departments have more time, money and resources.
Most will just attempt to attain latent prints at entry/exit points, and maybe darkened room footprint examination.
33. Evidence – What day did it occur? What time did it occur? Were residents present?
Nosy neighbours hear anything, see anything? Suspicious vehicles or people?
What has been stolen? What value does this have? Identifiable features?(serial numbers?)
Has anything been left behind? (Tools)
Fingerprints, footprints, hairs, DNA?
Is anything out of place, yet not “stolen”? Pillowcases?
Witnesses- BEFORE – Car area? Driver? Neighbourhood? Surrounding area? Suspicious people?
DURING – Were the home owners in? Did they hear noises and disturb the burglar?
Did people return home to find a window smashed or door pried open/kicked in, or even picked?
AFTER – Did anyone see a suspicious character in this rough area at XX:XXpm?
How tall were they? What were they carrying? How was their demeanour?
Were they seen in the company of anybody else? Did they get into a car?
Modus Operandi – What was the rough time of the crime? How was entry attained?
Were the home owners lax on home security or the total opposite?
Check the house for a different exit point to entry?
(especialy in cases where people return home and end up disturbing burglars).
How clean does the crime appear?
There are 4 type of burglars, OPPORTUNIST, JUNKIE, SEMi-PRO and PROFESSIONAL.
The chances of having your house targeted by professional burglars is extremely low. I ain’t playin’ wit ya ass, so don’t call up and play wit me.
34. Wait until people are out, B-IN, S-THE-STUFF.
35. Entry (2 routes) Exit (2 routes). At the very least.
36. The Internet is your friend, it’s not only for porn. Despite what Google claim, Google Earth and Google Maps were actually made for burglars.
37. Learn from the best. The 4 best burglars of all time.
(Alan William Golder – www.dinnertimebandit.info , Bill Mason – “Confessions of a Master Jewel Thief, The Dinnerset Gang (Peter Salerno), Court TV Masterminds show, www.dinnersetgang.com , and Jack MacLean – 1983 book Superthief.)
38. Watch Masterminds on CourtTV for hints. Watch Forensic science shows. CSI, Law & Order, LA Forensics, AMW, CrimeWatch UK. Learn to plant false evidence.
39. Military boots, and anti-sweat socks.
40. Hygiene (maybe a bit of a silly one, but I’d keep fingernails and toenails as short as possible, same applies to all body hair.)
41. Don’t trash the place, it wastes time and achieves nothing. Remember, this is nothing personal. This is not a competition, this is a co-operation.
42. Get a decent set of screwdrivers, pliers, alligator clips.
43. Get a decent tool for prying open doors and window frames. I recommened Blackhawk’s Hallagan tool.
Dynamic Entry make a good range of bolt cutters, prybars, and battering rams. www.blackhawk.com
44. Never target your own neighbourhood.
45. The big brother affect. If you are going to be entering and exiting any major cities, seriously think about
CCTV and cameras (I am a bit over obsessed with this topic).
If you are using a stolen car, it will flag up on CCTV possibly,
or on UK Police ANPR system (Automatic Number-Plate Recognition)
This system checks the database for the owner of the car, the status, the licence, tax, and past history.
If you use your own car, never park within 3 miles of a target (hence fitness becomes very important).
Use Radar-based and GPS-based camera detection, laser detection, laser jammers and laser veils on your car.
Use Phantom Plate covers and spray to make your car invisible to cameras.
46. Night vision goggles. Real life should be as similar to Splinter Cell and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six, as possible.
47. Don’t leave messages behind. Again, it’s very tempting. Blame Don Vincent, aka “Reverend X”.
48. Attn UKers: Don’t cut the phone lines unless you know they don’t have BT Redcare.
BT Redcare monitors the phone line, if it’s cut, it still signals as suspicious.
BT Redcare has an option called Redcare GSM, where alarm landlines are monitored and have a GSM cellular backup link.
I’ve emailed several alarm companies asking them about jamming. I got conflicting results.
However, because Redcare GSM uses the BT O2 network, via a GSM signal, I think it could be blocked like any normal cellular phone.
BT Redcare GSM is only activated if the home landline is tampered with, but it is always “silently active”.
It does send the occasional signal to the monitoring centre. Not sure how often, probably 1 per minute at most.
Besides, over 90% of UK alarms are false alarms, so maybe you’re not scared of alarms.
These are basically marker devices. SmartWater can be used to mark home items, and spray over intruders.
The police use UV-lamps to analyse stolen goods and people who may be suspects.
Better get used to these, because they are here to stay.
50. Never use chewing gum on the same day as the crime.
Never bite your fingernails. Recently a BBC1 show called “Beat the Burglar” demonstrated how DNA can be extracted
and matched to the scene of the crime.
If breaking a window is required, make sure you are very careful. Wear two layers of gloves and cover the soles of your
shoes. “Beat the Burglar” featured SOCO’s (scene of crime officers) finding minute blood stains on broken glass from
both windows and doors. This is used to match DNA to offenders on record, to help prove innocence, and if arrested, guilt.
51. Mirrors on extendable rods, to check for sensors and type of sensor.
52. Once inside, find the landline phone sockets and phones. Remove the connection cable for the wall socket, and cut it.
If the phone or phones are “Digital Cordless” (for example DECT or wifi), this will make them useless. If it is a standard analogue phone, repeat the
same process, then cut the line linking the handset to the base. I have already mentioned cellular jamming, and this
is an excellent addition to your equipment. However, these tactics will probably not stop the “nosey neighbour” syndrome.
53. UV lamp for inspection of marker like Smartwater..
54. Burglars learn to adapt to security systems. In New Jersey, some burglars developed a unique break-in method.
The burglars would rattle the windows causing the alarm to sound and then hide in the bushes, waiting for the police to arrive. Once the police found nothing and left the location, the burglars would proceed with the break-in.
55. The problem with security systems is that they don’t necessarily stop people from breaking in. The security system is
only activated when the burglar has broken into the house. Also, by the time the intruder is detected and someone
responds to the alarm, there could be enough time for the intruder to remove items and leave. If the system does not
cause visible or audible alarms to flash or sound at the site, or there is no one nearby to see or hear these site
alarms, the intruder can leave without being seen.
56. How Do False Alarms Affect Service?
False alarms with security alarm systems are a significant concern. It is estimated between 95 percent and 99 percent
of the alarms received are false. Because of this, most police departments require the system, if it alarms remotely
by telephone, to first go through a monitoring company.
To combat the false alarm problem, some police departments are imposing fines for false alarms after a specified
number of false alarms.
57. Plant false evidence. See those cigarettes/chewing gum left on the ground immediately after use? Put on surgical/leather gloves.
Pick them up and put them in a an evidence bag. Leave them at the scene. Do not contaminate any evidence.
Raid bins for empty cans of juice. These provide valuable DNA evidence.
58. Keys left in door – coat hanger, string, straightening rods, loops.
59. Don’t be a moron, morons get caught.
60. Surveillance Via Cell Phones
It captures criminals:
Today, even murderers carry cell phones.
They may have left no witnesses, fingerprints or DNA. But if a murderer makes calls on a cell phone around the time of the crime (and they often do), they leave behind a trail of records that show not only who they called and at what time, but where they were when the call was made.
The cell phone records, which document what tower a caller was nearest when he dialed, can put a suspect at the scene of the crime with as much accuracy as an eyewitness. In urban areas crowded with cell towers, the records can pinpoint someone’s location within a few blocks.
Should a suspect tell detectives he was in another part of town the night of the murder, records from cell phone towers can smash his alibi, giving detectives leverage in an interview.
I am fine with the police using this tool, as long as the warrant process is there to ensure that they don’t abuse the tool.
61. Investigators tend to have difficulty solving crimes without cooperating eyewitnesses, knowledgeable informants, obvious suspects, or quick confessions.
62. The people who produce and write CSI have every right to take dramatic license. It is not their intention to mislead, but to entertain. Still, television is a powerful medium that can create false impressions. And the false impression created by CSI and other forensic science programs is this: That American detectives rely heavily on physical evidence, and do careful crime scene work. In reality, investigators in America have always gone for the quick solution to a case, preferring direct evidence in the form of eyewitness testimony, jail house informants, and confessions. Moreover, many prosecutors are uncomfortable pursuing circumstantial cases based entirely on physical evidence. Trials are less
about truth finding and justice than about winning and losing, and prosecutors want to win. Because circumstantial cases are risky, time consuming, and costly, prosecutors tend to avoid them. In reality, forensic science does not play nearly as big a role as it should in the solution and prosecution of criminal cases.
63. Pre-op surveillance.
Binoculars, directional/parabolic microphones.
Don’t be seen or heard. Ghillie suit. Camo’s.
64. FIVE FORBIDDEN PLACES by Walter Shaw
1. The master bathroom. Walter says that nine times out of ten, he hit the jackpot with a jewelry box on the vanity or in a drawer.
2. The closet. You’re not fooling anyone by hiding your jewelry out of sight. An experienced robber will know just where to look.
3. Your dresser drawers. Drawers are another typical hiding place for cash or jewelry.
4. The underwear drawer. Someone looking for valuables won’t be embarrassed about pawing through your delicates.
5. A nightstand. Even if they’re on both sides of the bed, Walter says, a criminal will check them thoroughly.
65. Watch the “Spirit of Truth” video on www.youtube.com, featuring Don Vincent, aka Reverend X. It will change your life for the better.
66. Play as much Soldier of Fortune 2, Rainbow Six, and Splinter Cell, as possible.
67. Stealth, Surprise, Speed, Self-Belief, watch them from every angle, dominate and control space by being there yet being invisible and quiet.
Back on June 14, two Heistmen netted a jewelry score worth 290 million yen (about 2.53 million dollars by my calculations). The two men entered the Exelco Diamond Tokyo store in Ginza, and sprayed tear gas on a clerk. They they proceded to pry open the showcases and took a 100-carat tiara crafted in Belguim and a necklace. The Heist only took a few moments and the pair never spoke.
Unfourtunatly, for the Heistmen, the spray can was found later by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. The tear gas is widely available in France, but prohibited from being exported or being taken out of France. The TMPD then contacted the French Police thru Interpol and the can’s serial number revealed that the tear gas was purchased at a military surplus shop in Marseille. The police don’t know who purchased the tear gas, but it has led them to believe that the Heist could have been by the Pink Panther crime group known to base out of the South of France. (Side note: The South of France is a great place for Heistmen to lay low. I also like Pays Basque, Pais Vasco, and Catalunya.)
I always think that Heists are a lot less smooth when someone is harmed. The true “Art” of the Game is to have no victims save the insurance company or extremely wealthy people who are known to be less than outstanding citizens. For instance, a greedy Rich guy that let’s say, hits women. That kind of guy deserves to be heisted. He actually deserves worse. It would have been a better heist if they did not harm the clerks and maybe “tipped” the clerks on their way out. I have always thought that stuffing a C-note in the pocket of the jewelry store clerk on your way out is style.
Leaving clues behind is one of the greatest mistakes a Heistman can make. That can of tear gas found could really hurt these guys. Unless of course, they were trying to steer Interpol in the wrong direction. That of course, would be style. You can’t argue with the size of the heist. Heistmen can make even more than Hedge Fund Managers or Private Equity Barons. And it’s more honest work as well. The Rest is Up to You…
The theme is Hawaii Fusion, east meets west. This is a chain with 34 restaurants owned by the Outback Streak house company.
I don’t normally do chain places, but Mark used to work there and said I should try it. He set the reservation for me, and his wife was to be our waitress.
The place:
This is a fairly nice place with the emphases on Asian tan colors, dark wood and some bamboo hints throughout the restaurant and bar. They have some really cool wall hangings. Think modern Asian. Nice ambiance and some cool lighting.
The bar area is nice, but smells like sour mix, this is from the rubber floor mats – a common problem in many bars. I wouldn’t want to eat at this smelly bar.
This is a full service bar. There were a few couples eating in the bar area. The bartender was responsive and knowledgeable about the menu. He only messed up one cocktail – forgetting the Grey Goose for my girls Cosmo. (She tasted the difference at once and sent it back.) He recovered nicely. I had the Kona Longboarder Lager, a nice golden lager, not so hoppy brew that won’t kill my taste buds. The bartender offered up a taster of the “House” martini – tasted like Malibu rum, ice and Skyy vodka. I didn’t like it all – too sweet.
The food:
We started off with a really nice Jalapeno Hamachi appetizer with a citrus ponzu sauce.
Paper thin slices of pepper top good size slices of fish along with grapefruit and avocado slices. A great app, good quality fish, nice flavor and not overboard on any one flavor – well balanced. Solid.
Second app was brought to us “on-the-house” and was a smoked salmon panko crusted meatballs. Tasted like smoked fish with panko – nothing special.
We took our drinks and were shown to our table by a tall long legged hottie. Both hostesses were pleasant to the eyes, and one seemed to actually have a brain.
We sampled a couple more apps. We tried the Hot Peanut oil seared Ahi with a soy sauce on it topped with black and white sesame seeds. The hot oil doesn’t really cook the fish as so much as bring out the natural fish oils –thus bringing out even more fish flavor. Very good app here.
We were brought a second on-the-house app – this was a lobster pot-sticker. Pot stickers are usually steamed or pan cooked. These were of the fried variety. They came out not hot, the fried wrapper was not crisp. I couldn’t taste any lobster in it. Served with spicy Togarashi Miso Butter Sauce (good sauce). Not prepared or served correctly.
Next up was a Chinese Muscovy Duck Neapolitan. Start with some sort of green veggie on the bottom of the stack, add a roasted red pepper next, top with duck confit and top with a combo of rich sauces. This one app could ruin an entire meal due to the high level of duck fat (but it’s a good thing). Very rich app with a good amount of duck confit. You could make a light dinner with this one.
Dinner for her was the Diver scallops with a risotto. The scallops were large nicely seared, not over cooked, and the risotto was great. There was a bur blanc type sauce that was done right. The dish was prepared well, and Camilla enjoyed it.
I chose a house special. Hawaiian Butterfish Misoyaki style. This is a very rich dish even for fish. The combo of white miso paste and glazed with teriyaki sauce makes it overall too sweet for my taste. It was served with a ball of sushi rice and a small braised bok choy as the veggie. Due to all the other food before I was only able to eat the fish – and that was difficult due to the richness of everything.
My Take:
Roy no doubt is a great chef with awesome skills.
The entire menu is based all around Roy’s special sauces created for each dish.
These sauces are more in line with heavy rich styles from France then anything from Asia, except for the basic ponzu sauce.
The food quality was good, and the presentations done nicely. The cooks seem to do a good job preparing as everything we had was cooked right, minus that pot-sticker.
The wait staff was on top of everything and provided good service.
Very rich dishes that showcase the sauce not the food.
I prefer more on excellent quality products prepared correctly. Let the high quality of the product speak for itself and use the complicated sauces to highlight the food – not cover it up.
“Nicely pieced together Sir! I am all about rolling solo. I have seen my last days of dragging and funding turds around all night. I have implemented a cover charge to hang out with me for the night, whether it’s my brother, Derek Jeter (who I saw you ho slap in Vegas) or some high rolling import who does leveraged buyouts. I charge $500 up front and $500 on the back end should one of these gremlins swoop on my deep stock of femininas. Even though I am comped EVERYWHERE including charities, I still make these critters buy me drinks that I just dump out and often make them fetch me such crucial G items as Viagra, e-tabs, Escobar, and additional female livestock. Rolling solo is my game too, but why not make a little bank roll off the chum? I tip my white Gucci top hat to you Lizard King, the Peoples Champ has spoken the truth once again!”
That is actually a really good idea, charging a cover charge to hang out, I like it. I typically will not let someone roll with me unless they are bringing a gang of Model girls, and I need to see photos beforehand for confirmation, to make sure they are Haute Couture Models, not something weesh, like a Model that just did some bathing suit print ad for a surf company. I am so sick of guys saying to me, “You already have two girls, can I come with you?”. Come on skippy, I can handle two girls by myself…..MPM
“Usually I’m dolo and I gotta crazy team
Car kissed the ride on you, watch for the laserbeam
Your girl want me cuz I do it better than you
The whole world wants me n*gga, I’m a legend to you” – Guru
The days of big crews and gangs are over (especially in regards to Nightlife). Too many snitches, haters, and backstabbers. Even the Gangs of LA are being gentrified. In today’s world, you have to operate in a small crew. Or even better Solo. I mean, you have watched Bruce Lee’s movies right? It’s not Bruce Lee and his big outfit in the movie, you see Bruce Lee solo (although, he did work with a small crew in Enter the Dragon). There are many reasons for this:
Freedom of Decision
Nights are priceless. When you operate in a bigger crew you need to compromise or have a consensus. When you are a top flight G aiming for the Title there is no room for compromise. No more eating at crap restaurants because someone in the crew is low on funds (if you are low on funds, you shouldn’t be going out, you should be earning). If you want to shoot to the Red Light District, you should be able to go on your own terms. (Being The G in the Red Light District will be covered in a future G Manifesto).
Tavares, It Only Takes a Minute
Financial Reasons
If you have dough and you roll with people that don’t have bread you are always going to spend way more than when you just roll out Dolo. No need to get “Stung” on a Bottle Service tab or get caught buying rounds of drinks that never get returned. Or even better, no more “shoulder taps” from some guy in the Gentleman’s Club who blew his wad too quick (so to speak). Speaking of Gentleman’s Clubs, you should always roll solo. We all hate when some Exotic Dancer who just fleeced your buddy, interrupts you, while you are giving directions to another Exotic how to get to your luxury hotel room. You don’t need her asking you how your friend is going to pay for the 10 lap dances he just had.
If you are solo, you are very agile on the night. When you have a big crew you are the antithesis of agile (and when I am talking about being agile, I am not talking about that fly Russian American girl I recently swooped that was part of the US Rhythmic Gymnastics Team, who is extremely agile, either. If you have never swooped a girl on the U.S. Rhythmic Gymnastics Team you really should look into it…). This is also very important so you can time things properly. Need to catch that fly hostess just as she gets off work? Try convicing 5 guys that you need to do that. Buena Suerte. Also, being agile and solo helps you take advantage of what different factions and outfits have going on. Maybe one crew you associate with has the whole VIP at a fly nightclub rented out and another firm has the back room of a new Salvadorian-Asian fusion joint on lock with a gang of Models. Being solo helps you take advantage of both. Dealers Choice.
Chic, Everybody Dance
No witnesses
When you are a sinister G, there are a lot of things you don’t want other people to know about. Maybe you are playing “The Most Dangerous Game” and are swooping an Underworld heavy’s girlfriend. The kind of Underworld heavy that has arms that reach. This is something you don’t really need anyone to know about. Or, when you are out on the town and between going to the restaurant and the lounge you need to light a match at a rival’s headquarters. You don’t need someone screwing up your perfect alibi and you certainly don’t want anyone to know you did a little arson that night.

Let’s face it, when you are rolling with a big crew it is a real pain getting into fly restaurants and dope nightclubs. Especially on weekends. Being solo you can slip and slide into a bar stool and order up some Sea Bass Gravlax with ease. Or, get a cocktail next to two dope girls at the bar. When was the last time you were with 5 guys and you met a party of ten girls, all fly, that all wanted to go home with your whole crew? Right, Almost Never.

Spotlight Game
When you are solo, the spotlight of the night is always on you. I am at the point of my career that I don’t need to play “back up man” for anyone. Being solo, there is no more need to entertain some friend of a fly girl just so your buddy can pull a Chris Webber. Your night is precious, don’t waste it. (And I don’t mean that Exotic Dancer I know from Scores in NYC named Precious, real name Sandy either).
Five guys in a lounge drinking has no mystery or intrigue to it (and I don’t mean that Pick up Artist named Mystery either), girls know what you are up to. Sipping a Goose and soda at a fly Boutique hotel bar, suited down (two button Black Dior Homme by Heidi Slimane, Purple people eater shirt by Borelli, sea blue Brioni pocket square, Berluti shoes) Solo has mystery to it. Going out by yourself has a “sifting” or qualifying aspect to it as well. When you go out Dolo; un-fly, insecure civilian girls will think you are “weird” going out by yourself and won’t approach you. Fly confident girls will think you are a man of style, taste and very self assured. They Will want to find out what you are all about.
Pointer Sisters, He’s So Shy
No weak links
When you are in a bigger crew you are bound to have weak links. Weak links will only clog up the scene. It’s the worst, when someone brings along their “friend from college” or “my boy from home”. These guys are typically unbelievably JV. Always dressed terrible, hanging with them is like carrying a bag of rocks on a hike (not like I ever go hiking, at least not since I was younger and had to break on through with some mushrooms in the California desert…Lizard King style…). They usually come from someplace where nightlife is cheaper and they usually say things like “I can’t believe how expensive drinks are here!” and other drivel that decelerates your night. Or they keep on harassing you to introduce them to girls or hound you for beeks or beans. Best thing to do is ditch them or push them down a Nightclub staircase when no one is looking. Or worse, you have someone in the crew that thinks He is the Star of the night. Like when you are talking to a fly Estonian Model Girl and introduce Guy to her just to be polite and then he thinks it’s His Estonian Model lead. Then you have to clown him and out-Game him so he will beat it. You could have spent that energy so much better, like in making plans with the Estonian Model to meet up at 3am (and I don’t mean DJ AM either) and to continue the conversation you are having over some Bubbly.

Married Guys
The older you get, the bigger chance you have of going out with Married Guy in your crew. Married Guy, as a rule of thumb, is atrocious to go out with (as with all rules, there are exceptions to this. Very few, but there are).
1) Married guys have NO Game.
2) They are either going to talk about married life with the girls you are Gaming and unbelievably, the girls Will listen to that crap. This conversation topic is on the other side of the universe from getting the girl back to your crib. Or
3) He will try to swoop the girls you are hanging out with and not be successful for reason #1 above.
This is all fine and dandy, except he will feel guilty about it and tell his wife about the night, and throw you under the bus and make you out to be the bad guy. This will make his wife hate you even more than she already does and she will never hook you up with any of her friends. (not like I need to be hooked up with girls, I have girls coming out my ears, I can barely hear myself think).

Innovative Game
I also like rolling solo because I spit such Innovative Game I don’t really want anyone hearing it and biting it. My conceptual metaphors, similes, analogies, onomatopoeias, allusions, double entendres, parenthetical asides, innuendos and non sequiturs are so sinister I could verbally slap box with the Devil. Dangerous in untrained hands.

If you don’t currently roll out Solo, give it a try, and maybe you too can be a One Man Army…
