Analog Game, Digital Game

“Play ya cards, go against all odds

Shoot for tha moon if you miss, you still amongst those stars”

–Beanie Siegel “Feel it in the Air”

There is no denying that Technology has changed “The Game”. For better or worse, you need to adapt if you going to stay one step ahead in The 21^st Century. Today we will analyze how The Internet, Cellphones, and The Digital world has changed the world of the G. And listen up, because I have gotten inside more skirts than washing instructions.

Caller ID and Voicemail

Obviously the invention of the telephone or the invention of the Printing Press (which was invented by Johannes Gutenberg, probably the most important person of last millennium next to Jack Dempsey, Muhammad Ali, and Don Juan) had the biggest impact on Game. But those two inventions happened way before my time. Probably the biggest technological innovation during my lifetime effecting Game has been Caller ID and Voice Mail. Gone are the days of constantly calling a girl until you get her “live” on the phone. Game has mutated from being skillful on a “hot call” to needing to leave innovative voice messages. This is certainly the case today as most girls won’t even answer calls where they don’t recognize the phone number or blocked calls. Unless you have multiple cell phones (like I do) you really only have one chance to hook a girl that you met at the bar and got her phone number. In the old days you had a million chances. So you need to up your leaving voicemail leaving skills in the Digital Game. Saying something like:

“Michelle, It was great meeting you during happy hour last Friday afternoon, I was the guy drinking the Miller light with my Mortgage broker buddies, and I was thinking maybe uh, sometime we could meet again and we could meet at the sports bar and have some potato skins and “brews” and you could meet all my buddies that wear khaki pants and striped shirts…..” isn’t going to cut it. At least not any girl that’s going to electrocute your nervous system.

You need to leave a message like this: “Davinia, Hola, Its Michael, I am having some Lobster Ravioli’s with my Godfather and a glass of Robert Biale, Black Chicken Zin, getting ready to go to the airport to go to Punta Del Este, but I will be back soon if I don’t go to Buenos Aires to check on the construction of my cousins nightclub, or to the Caymans to meet my Uncle who is doing some Banking down there, so give me a call so we can meet up when I am back in town. Ciao.”

Email

Now when I was coming up, and you wanted to keep in touch with girls in different cities or different countries, you had to write them a letter. Suprisingly, Email has actually made life easier. Personally, I never thought it would. In fact, I still remember when one of my friends (who is a G in his own right, good idea man, good visionary, and a good hijacker and has moved more Miami Base than Luke Skywalker from 2 Live Crew, now known as just Luke) first told me about Email. After he gave me a demonstration about how to use it, I remember saying “No one is ever going to use that crap”. I guess I was wrong. Email actually is a lot easier than having to go to the post office, and helps people with poor handwriting. Less personal, but saves you time that you could spend scheming, relaxing at a Gentleman’s Club, monitoring Armored Car routes, or spitting some street game.

Text Messaging

Text Messaging is actually a technological advancement that has helped the G. Here is the perfect situation: You are winding up a great business dinner; Mac and Cheese (Gruyere), Foie Gras 4 ways, Fresh Free Range Scallop Tartare, some raw little neck clams, some Winterpoint (Maine), Cape Breton (Nova Scotia), Malpeque (Prince Edward Island), and Tatamagouche (Nova Scotia) Oysters and a Bone Dry Sauvignon Blanc from the Graves District of France’s Bordeaux region. Suited down of course (Charcoal pinstriped Zegna Two Button, Grey Alexander McQueen Shirt, Deep Blue Kiton pocket Square, no tie, I think), with some friends and its only 11:45 pm and you are wondering what you should do with your head buzz and the rest of the evening. The best thing to do is shoot out a “Text Blaster” to ten girls you know and see who else is out on a Wednesday night. I usually get a better than 50% response rate, and I work off the fresh leads. This is way quicker than calling a bunch of girls and saves you precious (and I don’t mean that girl that works at the Penthouse Executive Club in NYC who goes by the stage name Precious, real name Sara, either) time. Text Blasters are one of my secrets to staying Undefeated, night after night.

Camera Phones

Anyone who has gone out in the last year has noticed the proliferation of Camera Phones in the Nightclubs and Restaurants. Personally, it annoys me and I avoid pictures at all costs. My Uncle (who was a top-notch Heist man in his own right) always told me to avoid pictures so there is no record of you being somewhere at sometime. Constructing alibi’s and things like that (and I don’t mean The Alibi, that great Exotic Dancer meeting point in New Orleans either). Regular 9 to 5 girls and Tourist girls will always try to get you in their pictures. Avoid them. If you stuck in one, get good at mastering the “turn your head” move before the Pic is taken. The only real purpose for the camera phone is documenting some girls you swooped on if someone in your crew doesn’t believe you swooped two Model girls, one blonde, one Latina, the night before.

Internet Dating Websites

Some people say you can meet mad girls on these. I don’t doubt it. But these sites are not really G Manifesto Material. Not Tactical. I have never done them and never will. Call me old-school if you want. I’m fine with that.

Evites

On paper, Seems like a great way to let a lot of people know your having a gig! In reality, it’s a great way to get a lot of un-interesting people together all at once. Try to think of any gig you have gone to from an Evite that was fun…..Exactly. Avoid all gigs from Evites.

MySpace

Many younger proto-type G’s swear by MySpace. I have checked it out and there are Mad Girls on it. But I am simply way too busy hanging at The Race Track, The Fights, Hotel Lobby Bars, Planning Heists, Counting Money, Grading Gems, Adjusting my Triple-Beam, Swooping Models, and Taking The G Manifesto to the next Chamber to screw around on that website (I barely have enough time to write For The People on The G Manifesto, and line for line, rhyme for rhyme The Manifesto is the Dopest site on the Internet, right?). I don’t knock the hustle though. I think if you are a Rhyme Spitter, a DJ, an artist, or whatever I think it is a great way to get your Product out there. The one good thing about it for the G is DATA. Here is the Situation: you meet a girl at some high-end gig and you think her family could be loaded with tons of Scratch. Grab her email address and plug it into MySpace and check her profile (almost every young girl has one these days, It is completely ludicrous, and I don’t mean the MC from ATL either). Check out her photos. If she has pictures of her family in front of their Track home in Phoenix or pictures of her and her girl friends drinking with some guys that could be part of The “Jackass” crew you know you’ve been duped and she is after Your dough. Information is the greatest Commodity.

I am sure this will be updated as new Technology gets created. Personally, I think we have enough. I think we should have stopped at Pagers (which was one invention that I thought made it easier to somersault Bricks) and I have recently toyed with the idea of returning to them. Well see. Till then…The Rest is Up to You………………..

Emails of the Week in regards to: Surf and Turf: The Race Track

“Gitty Up!!! Simply fantastic advice a real treat for the up and coming G, you were born to be a mentor. As for the 4 dead bodies, it would have been 5 but my SIG jammed up. Last time I was at the track I dropped 3 beans, got super wasted off the guitar margaritas in the peasant section and passed out in horse stable if it weren’t for a jockey with a moped helmet urinating on my face at 6 AM the next day I may have been raped by Seabiscuit. My game is on a whole other level now, I plan on hitting up this Del Mar gig soon after my next heist in LA, I plan on coming in fresh threads and bank roll big enough to fill up Santa’s Sleigh. Locals have been calling me simply “The Machete”. Going from Dickies and GAP tees to Gucci Loafers and 36 D’s is a tribute to your greatness Mr. Ghost Hands, see you in the French Riviera Mutha Fucka!!!”

–Two words: Colt Python. You should look into it.—MPM

And

“You think you are so fucking cool. Please tell me you didn’t come up with all the foolishness on that stupid page yourself. If you did, #1 – you have too much time on your hands. #2 – You are modeling your fantasy life from Puff Daddy’s world. #3 – You take yourself way too seriously. Nice Try. Real “players” that have “game” would never, EVER waste time posting about it on Blogger. You need to stop reading hip-hop lyrics and modeling your fantasy life from it. You lie! You sound like someone who watches too many music videos on BET. Remember that!”

—–First of all Skippy, watch the language, ladies read The G Manifesto. Second, I do like BET, and I have drank Champagne with Puff, but I like underground Hip-Hop more or just kicking back and watching “Wild Style”. Third, “We all know that Game is not truth. Game is a lie that makes us realize the truth.” And you can quote me on that G Manifesto original. Remember that……. Squeaky—MPM

One of the favorite places for The G to hang out at, especially in Summertime, is the Race Track. In fact, The Kentucky Derby is the official Start of Summer on the G Manifesto Calendar. And Summer time officially ends on Closing Day. September 6^th at The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club on the West Coast and September 4^th at The Saratoga Race Track on the East Coast. Depends obviously on where you’re at (or where your going).

Winning at Gambling is very difficult at the race track. To paraphrase Andy Beyer, who has called horseracing “the greatest mathematical equation ever created” the odds are solidly against you. Good gamblers, Even great gamblers that win at other games get whacked at the Track. Me? I don’t gamble on horses too much. I operate on inside information, or have a jockey, or preferably jockeys in my back pocket. I also spend of a lot of time with the racing and sportsman set. This helps me get the edge I need. But mostly I go to the Race Track for the experience. Much like a Fight Night, the track is full of interesting characters. Big Money Horse owners, Jockeys, Trainers, Gold Diggers, Socialite Girls, Professional Team sports Coaches, Old Money, Nuevo Riche Jerks, Con Men, Models, Hollywood Actress Broads, Nightlife Princesses, Old-School G’s, G’s, G’s on the Rise, Prototype G’s, Gamblers, its like a modern day Damon Runyon Story. (Guess who is playing the role of the protagonist?)

However, you can’t just go to the racetrack with no preparation and game plan or you’re going to be outgunned. Like stepping into a gun fight with a deuce deuce against a four pound. It’s a war zone. You need to go stronger than ever, money longer than ever, longer Beretta. (And just so you know, personally, I am at war a lot like Anwar Sadat, no warning shot and my guns warm a lot)

Be well rested

Going into the racetrack you are going to need plenty of energy. Its summer time so it’s hot out. The track usually starts around 12 noon or sometimes 4pm. Either way you are in for a long day into the night, and you have to be ready for the night. I love going to the track during the week, because that’s when the real gamblers are there. I also love going to the track on Friday and Saturday, hell, even Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (never Mondays, I never eat seafood on a Monday, unless of course I am at Le Bernardin in NYC….props to Eric Ripert). Being well rested is difficult especially when you spent the night before getting massages and drinking Champagne with two exotic dancers till 5 am. So you might need to take a Vampire Nap or drink a Rockstar. Getting a workout and Entering The Dragon can also help take the place of lost Rapid Eye Movement. The best thing to do is hold off on booze when you first get to the track and really ease into the relaxed Atmosphere. Then ease into the Goose and Sodas, and I guarantee you, when you start seeing the summer dresses and smell the Coca butter and perfume you will start feeling wonderful. Plenty of time to get into the Seventh Dimension. The Race Track is one of the few places you will actually see me drink during the day.

Track Gear

You have to dress fresh at the track. My goal is to always dress the freshest. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t achieve my goal. And I have a great memory. You can never go wrong going old-school style: Seersucker Suits, Spectator shoes, etc. Make sure you wear a light colored suit as well. You’ll look like you only own one suit if you go in a dark collared one, which is probably the case if you are wearing a dark collared suit on a hot summer day. So stop being cheap and spring $2000 for a decent light colored summer track suit. Me? I have like 20 (on each coast). I like going with a light tan Valentino two button with Lavender Shirt (and I am not talking about that Nightlife Princess Lavender either), purple Brioni pocket square, Gucci Belt and Prada loafers no socks, Sportsman Style. It is also completely acceptable to wear sport coats and Slacks to the track. Just make sure they are top-notch. Ties can work, but due to the heat, it is advisable to go no tie. The Pocket Square is the New Tie.

Turf Club

You have to gain entry into the private area of the Race Track. The Sky boxes are good but entry into the Private Turf Club is really what you want. Why? Because drinking cocktails out of plastic cups in General Population has never done any G any good. Also the girls are richer, the girls are hotter, its easier to place bets, and as Willie Sutton said,” Because that’s where the Money is”. How do you get entry? For members it’s easy. Other wise, you are going to have to be creative. (We will cover entry into private clubs and nightclubs in a future G Manifesto, for now refer to The Art of The Grease). Once you’re in, get the Matre’d on lock and the Bartenders. This will make your life easy. For me it’s real easy because these types of private clubs are like Bases of Operations for me.

Winning every Race

Once your settled in, got your table, ordered a Shrimp Cocktail or set up your Base at the bar its time to “win” some Races. Now, unless you “know” what is going to happen during the race (as I often do) you WILL lose if you bet. So the key to the track is you must pretend like your “winning” every race. Everyone likes a winner. Girls will gravitate over to you, Socialite girls will leave there boyfriends to hang out with you, the Gold Diggers and Table Hawks will start circling and you will get Biz opportunities and Biz Cards up the Kazoo. The advantage you have is most people bet and lose and when people ask them how they are doing, they say, “Losing”, or “I am getting killed!” or something along those lines (and I don’t mean Beeks either). Now when a fly girl just talked to that “losing” guy, and then comes up to you and asks how your doing, and you say “that last race worked out really well” or “that race set up perfectly, but I studied the race all morning” who do you think she is going to want to hang out with more? Also when the race is running, Yell and cheer (keep it smooth though), but don’t make mention of which horse you are pulling for. When the come down the wire, increase your cheering. As the horses approach the finish line Yell something to your Running Partner like “I told you!” And even thrown in some high-fives to make it all look authentic. You will be able to feel the eyes of girls on you from all over. Similar to marketing. Now spark up a smoke. Take a sip for an elegant high, be one hell of a guy, fly pelican fly.

Know the Ecosystem

The great part about the racetrack is you get a diverse portfolio of girls. Hollywood Actress girls love the Track. So do Model Girls. So do Gold Diggers and Table Hawks. And Rich Daughters. We will deal with how to deal with these different girls at a later date. For now refer to The Six Elements of Picking up Girls.

Do your legwork

Know the after gigs. It’s important to get multiple pitches out to girls during the track to hook up things for later. Know the resorts, the restaurant owners, who are hosting the Mansion Parties and the bartenders. Its summertime, remember, and bars tend to get busy. Every second counts, and you don’t want to waste precious time waiting for drinks. Get the waitresses on lock down also. These girls can really bail you out by putting together a private chilling area for you and a Running Partner and a couple of fly Diggers. Having a top chef come by and shake your hand and order something for you “off-menu” never made anyone look bad either. If the move gets no reaction from the girl, call her a cab to take back to her crib in the trailer park/ suburbs.

Work in Pairs

The G Manifesto usually advocates working dolo, unless you are rolling with a G Manifesto Certified Running Partner. Then it’s good to go Scarface with Manolo. The Race Track is a good place to roll with Running Partner. Girls often are in bigger groups and it’s good to have some extra muscle to deal with rival crews and Haters. And like anywhere these days, there is no lack of Haters at the Track.

“I knew it!”

In closing, here is a great custom move to use on girls at the track (and I have used this move so many times with success, I don’t mind giving it up): Spot two fly socialite girls like a Cheetah. Have your running partner roll over to them (suited down of course) and sprack up a conversation. Doesn’t really matter, could be about anything, just be charming, witty, and hold their attention. Next you “roll up” on them like sleeves, ignore the girls and say to your Running Partner “Remember we have ten Grand riding on this race” right before the announcer says “And there off!” Follow the Race and ignore the girls completely. This is very important. Become a little more animated as the horses are coming down the final stretch, remember, and don’t specify which horse or horses you are pulling for. As the horses come Thru the Wire (and I don’t mean that Kanye track with that dope Chaka Kahn sample, Through The Fire), say “I knew it!” and give your running partner a Pound. Maybe throw something else in there like “I told you….that’s three races in a row now!” Girls will already be completely sold on you. If you want to torture them, wait for them to introduce themselves. If you don’t want to punish them too much, Introduce yourself, and invite them for a drink at the bar. Ignore all questions about which horses you had or who you have on the next race, or greet there questions with your index finger up to your lips, like you would “shhhhh”. No need to make the sound. Invite them to your table at the finish line. The Rest is Up To You…………

Email of the Week in regards to Nightlife Princesses:

“I thought you got busted Mr. Portfirio, I was sick to my stomach and having panic attacks thinking you were in the clink, or are you? Anyways I have become quite the G thanks to your Manifesto’s, and when my new Razor PDF vibrated in my new Bironi Custom made suit with your latest blog in Vegas last night (all of this thanks to a heist in Scottsdale that netted me 450K and left 4 dead, but that’s neither here nor there) I quickly located the local “Vegas Nightlife Princess” at the most upscale underground night club in all of Sin City. I simply said “Jack Pot”!!!!!!!!

Needless to say I followed your tips, and had her back in my suite at 6 AM doing things to her that even a farm animal would scowl at. She limped out of my room 20 minutes ago. Thanks for the tips and tricks, keep them coming and should we ever cross path beware that you created primp up and coming mutha fucking G!!!!!”

—–Not sure about the whole farm animal thing. I don’t really know too much about farms. I stick to cities, beaches and cities on Beaches. Sounds like a decent score, too bad you had to go to Scotsdale to do it, but next time make it more clean, dead bodies can cause unnecessary Heat (and I don’t mean that crappy NightClub called Heat either). All in all, good work.—–MPM

Side Note:

Immortal Technique from Harlem, Washington Heights is probably the Rawest MC right now. Bone Chilling. You should look into it.

Side Note II:

Opening Day at the Track is the worst time to go to the track. Ask any dork when they like to go to the Track and they will say, “Opening Day!” Enough Said.

Side Note III:

When you are at The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, do not, and I repeat, do not go to Pacific Beach afterwards. Pacific Beach is one the greatest hoaxes ever put on the straight male. The bars in Pacific Beach have more guys than gay bars. The funny thing about it all the guys that go to Pacific Beach are homophobic. But maybe it makes sense; you know what they say about homophobic people……

Side Note III:

In the most recent issue of Los Angeles Magazine in a pro-smoking article about The Tinder Box, one patron is quoted as saying “Hitler was a non-smoker and Einstein smoked a pipe….what does that tell you?” Sound familiar? Probably does, because you already read the concept in The G Manifestos earlier installment, The Smoking Gun. That’s ok, I borrow from people also.

Rio Friday, Spain on Saturday,

You could be my weekend girl.”

– (Innovative wordplay from Cam’ron’s “Weekend” The G Manifesto Certified Track of the Week)

You know the type: skips the line for the Nightclub like hop-scotch, knows all the bouncers, bartenders, waitresses, club promoters, party girls, DJ’s, drug dealers (kind of sounds like the G….). But this is not the G, it’s The Nightlife Princess. Every (legitimate) city has at least one. Typically, she is fly, bordering on beautiful, maybe has some tear sheets, wasn’t a successful model for a variety of reasons (lack of focus, too much partying, missing castings, too short, too exotic of a look, etc…), has traveled (sometimes extensively), has bisexual tendencies, has names like Adriana or Lavender, knows DJ’s (current or ex-boyfriend is often a DJ), Never misses the Winter Music Conference, can dance like a Coca-Cola mixed with Pop Rocks, family often has summer cribs in Italy on the Adriatic, and sometimes but not always comes from Big family money. The difference between her and regular party girls is that she is the Top Party Girl. Examples, of Famous Nightlife Princesses are Madonna and Ingrid Casares to name a few.

Nightlife Princesses are a worthy target for the G to Swoop on for many reasons. Number one, they a very challenging prey. Like the Thompsons Gazelle to the Cheetah. Number two, especially if they live in cities that you don’t frequent that often, rolling with them gives you the key to the city, at least the nightlife aspect…pro bono entry into clubs, drinks, alterators etc. Number three, they are fun to roll with and there is no better way to experience a new city than with a Nightlife Princess. Number four, like I said earlier, they are Fly, and make worthy sparing partners to do battle with on 1000 plus thread count Egyptian Cotton sheets.

So obviously, there are plenty of benefits to swooping The Nightlife Princess. You first need to spot her. The best way to find her is go to the dopest club in the City that night and keep your eyes peeled. Personally, I can spot these girls like leopard skin. Then you need to swoop. Here is how it is done:

1. Style. These girls have seen it all and paper thin game isn’t going to cut it. You also cannot dress like the typical nightlife weekend warrior 9 to 5 real estate jerk with a stripped shirt un-tucked, designer jeans and Kenneth Coles. You need to come with some snap on your jabs. Fashion forward suits are preferable to more conservative suits, although a two button custom tailored Armani will do you a hell of a lot better than the jerk with the t-shirt with writing on it, sport coat and jeans look (Southern California’s worst contribution to fashion since the trucker hat). Paul Smith and Etro, pinstripes with Gucci loafers should do the trick or something by Ozwald Boateng’s House of Boateng. I like going with a single breasted, two-button Grey Paul Smith, with side vents and ticket pocket, made in Italy, shirt by Thomas Pink and Brioni pocket square (color irrelevant) not leave much to chance.

2. Lifestyle. To swoop The Nightlife Princess, you need to have a congruent lifestyle. Meaning, telling her you work in a cubicle or in a dentists office isn’t going to impress her. You have to seem interesting. So if you don’t live an interesting lifestyle of leisure, you need to Lie. Come up with something good. Drug Dealer? Not bad, but she already knows tons of them. DJ? Same thing. You are way better off if you actually lead a lifestyle that will capture her attention, like the dashing, young millionaire playboy, such as your humble author, Oh my Brothers.

3. Nightlife knowledge. You need to know Nightlife inside and out. Especially in cities that are superior to where the girl is the Reigning Nightlife Princess. For instance, if she is the top Nightlife Princess in Toronto, you are going to have to tell her you have things cooking in Miami Beach. Chances are she will have been there more than a few times, so make sure your story is air tight. LA and West Coast Princesses you can always trump with NYC. NYC Princesses are a little trickier, Europe, Spain, Paris and London are really your options and Los Angeles works to. European Princessess, you can use NYC or Los Angeles (Europeans have really bought the whole California thing, hook, line and sinker.)

4. Once you meet the Princess, you need to hit hard. She will have tons of weesh guy friends that will try to neturalize your maneuverings most of the time. She will introduce you to these guys and tell you they are “so cool” and “so interesting”. Trust me there not. Some of these cats will be ok, so you can befriend them. The real lame ones you need to diss heavy. Like mention to her why her friend is so “sweaty”. Make sure you give the “gasface” to these nightlife chumps. The good news is (and I don’t mean News Café in Miami Beach, either) most nightlife guys are softer than a cotton swab, so just make sure you get them out of your ear.

5. Strong Constitution. For Booze and especially drugs. Keep in mind, the G Manifesto does not advocate drug use (I was selling while you all was smoking). And it’s not for moral reasons. It is simply because unless you have fully Entered The Dragon, it is harder to shake off a night out. But if it comes down to swooping and not swooping a Nightlife Princess, well, you make the choice. (Be careful, not to go too far down the canyon on this one, or you might turn into the “sweaty friend” of the Nightlife Princess.)

6. CASH. Seeing a thick bankroll for a Nightlife Princess is like seeing La Grande Plage in Biarritz in July for The G. A beautiful sight. This is because of many reasons. Nightlife Princesses, for all the free access they get, are usually living a few steps ahead. Many times the family money has been cut off or the flow is not too consistent. Also, Nightlife Princesses usually have poor choices in friends, putting constant strain on the financials. So make sure you nonchalantly flash your bankroll, it will make the two cocktails for $24 (not including tip) you just paid for seem like a bargain. No love for George Bush, but love for Dead Presidents. So be on your green like Irish Spring.

7. Throw Heat. When you pitch Nightlife Princesses on various closes, you have to come heavy. Telling her you want to meet her tomorrow for a Starbucks Latte is not going to alter her very busy schedule (actually who knows, maybe it would work, but there are no style points in going to Starbucks). Pitching her on a dope hotel and champagne has a high percentage of success. Usually, packaging a Hotel Close, Champagne Close and Spa Close is going to get you the victory. Also use Swagger International. Keep in mind, these girls dance a lot, and usually are very open to massages.

8. Dance. As much as you might not want to, to swoop the Nightlife Princess, you are going to have to dance at some point. So get some moves down. You don’t want to look like a fool, or all your hard work can fall apart. Take some salsa lessons. You pick it up quick. Personally, I would be a way better dancer, but I always end up swooping on my Salsa teacher and I have to stop taking lessons.

9. Strike first. Strike hard. No Mercy. No fear, No pain, and No defeat can exist in your Dojo. Nightlife Princesses usually have a short attention span. Be the 60 second Assassin. It is important that you make a huge impression on them at minimum. You need to stay on their mind like a yarmulke. The bad news is Nightlife Princesses usually have short Reigns at the top. And many times, a Nightlife Princess on the way down isn’t a pretty sight. The good news is, every time a Nightlife Princess falls, there are ten girls ready to take her place. It’s Nightlife Darwinism.

Executed correctly, having the Nightlife Princess on your team will guarantee you a great time in a new city. You will be able to see, touch and feel the real side of the city, the side that you want. Using these techniques to the letter, you are bound to do just that, and yes, I do accept Thank You Cards…….The Rest is Up to You……………………..

Side Note:

Wale (pronounced Wah-lay, last name irrelevant) from Dream City is spitting the most innovative flows and rhymes I have heard in a long time. Kenny Burns (the black Lyor Cohen) is calling him the next Jay-Z. Well see. Personally, I think he is completely flipping the script. Props. Paint a picture. Hate is the New Love…….

This week we are going to go into some real effective and proven closes. Keep in mind that closing is only limited by the G’s imagination. Of course, when you are in a nightclub and you have a girl on the ropes, you can tell her that you will buy her a yacht or a condo, and if you dress as fresh as I do she probably will believe that you have that kind of liquid dough. But you obviously don’t want to get called on the carpet and be stuck with a new condo in a bloated real estate market. So here are some relatively easy closes with limited downside potential, and unlimited upside….you can’t get a better deal than that, right?

The Champagne Close

This close has fewer holes than Winky Wrights’ defense. Part of the strength of this close is that it’s universal in nature. Younger girls, older girls, French Vanilla girls, Butter Pecan girls, Chocolate-deluxe, Caramel Sundaes, Upper Eastside Mobiles, Ford model girls, Sophistos, Playboy Playmates, Penthouse Pets, Otto Zutz Girls, Suicide Girls, Razor Dolls, Exotic Dancers, College Girls, Girls who can’t spell “College”, and Stewardesses flying around the world all love champagne. Girls that have never had it even love the idea of Champange. Even girls who don’t like you and think that your attitude is arrogant, cocky, rude will buy into this one. Girls that don’t even want anything else to drink, their eyes will brighten up with even the mere mention of “You like Champagne right? Let’s get out of here, get a bottle of and drink it in my Suite”. The key to that line is you have to deliver it in the most unassuming and nonchalant way possible. You can over sell it if your too pushy, as if your trying to buy the girl with the champagne. You have to say it as if you were saying “let’s go outside and get some fresh air”. Like it is something that you do every day (which is easy for me because I do). Smooth chill and Tranquilo. As with many things, it is not so much what you say, it is how you say it. Practice makes perfect. (It obviously helps to be wearing a Three Button Grey Zegna, steel blue Brioni shirt, Aqua, red and black Zegna Exclusivo tie, and black Valentino pocket square- Art Deco Gangster Style). For the financially challenged, roll by the Bodega on the way home and pick up an inexpensive bottle of Spanish Cava.

The Las Vegas Close (aka the Travel Close)

(This one works real well on Southern California girls because it’s so believable.) Vegas is one of the greatest marketing schemes ever created by humans. Let’s face it, if you gamble, and you don’t cheat, you Will lose your money (Personally, I always take the “gamble” out of gambling). Yet people love to go to Vegas and give away their money. Its great marketing spin of the highest degree. So take advantage of it. Girls love the idea of the excitement, action, and (phony) glamour of Las Vegas. One of the best move is to weave Vegas into conversation with a girl (really not that hard) and once you get positive feedback say something along the lines of “lets hang out tonight, and tomorrow we’ll roll to Vegas”. Girls think they like being spontaneous or something. Keep in mind you never really have to go to Vegas the next day. You can always come up with some excuse in the morning, like “I completely forgot, I am getting my final fitting on some custom suits, and my tailor, William Fioravanti, flew in from NYC for one day” or “I got a message that my racehorse fell during his morning workouts, there is no way I can go Vegas now!” In fact, I must have used The Las Vegas Close over three hundred times, and I if my memory serves me correct, I have never flown a girl to Las Vegas……… (obviously, if you are in Vegas, you can’t use this one. Be agile; just insert Miami Beach or New York, or the Caribbean for Las Vegas).

The Spa Close

I have pulled myself out of “towering infernos” and “perfect storms” with The Spa Close. This is also one of the most deadly. It is similar to being bitten by The Sydney Funnel-Web spider (in my opinion the most deadly spider in the world). It’s no secret that girls love Spas. Like both the above closes, you hit the Greed button as stated in “The Six Elements of Picking up Girls”. The Spa Close implies money, taste, and style. All Girls dream about meeting guys that will take them to the Spa. Why not play into it? This one seriously works like 100% of the time. It’s very Zen. The devil is in the details. You have to really have to sell the special “treatments” that they do at the spas. Start talking about how amazing the “Hydrating Coconut-Pineapple Crème Scrub” is or how incredible you feel after the “Honey Milk Body Wrap”, or how can’t miss the “Hot Basalt Stone Therapy” is at this spot. Really do your research and become an Aficionado. I am not sure what it is but girls fall under the “Ether” (and when I say “Ether” I don’t mean that track that Nas torched Jay-Z on) when you talk about this stuff. Girls are so far down the canyon at this point that they offer very little defense when the Indians come out.

(The next two Closes are a little more High-Risk, but effective none the less)

The Room Service Close

This is real similar to the Champagne Close. It works real well on Exotic Dancers and waitress/ Bartender girls. The only draw back is you can eat too much and kill the mood (and when I say “mood” I don’t mean that nightclub “Mood” in LA). So remember to order light. Stick to shrimp cocktails, tartares, things like that. Never let her order the nachos. (It always amazes me how girls don’t hardly eat at dinner, at the sickest restaurant with Guy Savoy manning the stove, and late night, they get the appetite of Buster Douglas after he beat Tyson.)

The Split-Bean Close

I love this one. I might have even created it. It’s always good to “trial close” this one. Try it on the wrong girl and you can really un-spool the deal. Plus you might have a sore back the next day. Or Strychnine poisoning. It’s best to make someone guinea pig the beans first. But if you hook into some of that early 90’s stuff, you are in for a real treat.

So there are Five basic closes. These all work extremely well. In fact, I try not to use them anymore because they are almost Too effective. I am an innovator by background, so I am always trying new closes and pushing the outer limits of Game. You have to stay one step ahead, right? Later we will cover more advance closes like: The House of Mirrors Close, The “El Ocho”, The Three Devils Close, The Dallas Winston Close, The Rusty James Close, The Soda Pop Curtis, The Snake and Crane Close, The Hell in a handbasket Close, The “Made you look”, The Magic Missile, The Something in My Eye, The Extraordinary Technique Close, The Let them Eat Cake Close, The Three Avengers, The Only Built for Cuban Linx, The Iron Monkey Close, The Praying Mantis Close, The Drunken Monk, The Don Juan DeMario, The “I’ve become a Playboy” Close, The Latin got Hot, The Wire, The Venus Fly Trap, and The Shimmering Snake, among others. Till then…….The Rest is Up To You…….

All three Politicians I backed won their Elections on Tuesday. Much like hitting a trifecta at the Track. Looks like it will be a good summer……

This G Manifesto is extremely important. This data, up until now has been highly guarded information, and revealing it could probably get me in trouble. It’s not unlike when Chinese Martial Artists started to reveal the secrets of hand to hand combat and self-defense to westerners. A lot of them got paid visits from the heavies over there. So don’t take this data sheet lightly. And don’t worry about me…desert eag (and Rugers for minor maneuvers), plus I got The Garduna behind me…..So here are The Six Elements of Picking Up Girls:

Sizzle

This is very important for the opening. You have approach girls with snap, swagger and energy. You need to have a purpose and pitch something that is exciting, fresh and unique. For instance, pitching 3 ringside seats to a Title Fight to a couple of exotic dancers in a Gentleman’s Club is going to have some Sizzle on it (make sure you sit Girl-Boy-Girl). But know your audience; pitching a girl on an afternoon in The Turf Club at the Racetrack might seem like a good pitch on a Hollywood actress girl, unless she volunteers for PETA during her off-time. The gear you wear helps a lot. A custom, light grey Paul Smith suit (with ticket pocket) with purple pinstripes, Lilac pocket square by Brioni and a light Resort Style Armani shirt with Crocodile loafers by A. Testoni will give you that added zip that you need. Focus helps give you Sizzle. When I am picking up on a girl it might seem extremely effortless to the untrained eye. In reality, I am incredibly focused. Sometimes I am so focused I am basically clairvoyant…..with extra sensory perception…..hell, some days I can move objects, like telekinesis when I am picking up girls. Important note: girls always talk about how the like “bad boys” (their language, not mine). But you can cross the line; I remember hanging out with a girl in a café during the day and two hitters came after me. It escalated into a full-blown daylight street shootout. The girl, completely unharmed, (who always said she liked “bad boys”) disconnected her phone when I tried to call her a few days later. So the lesson is, don’t push the “bad boy” thing too far. (Again, girls lingo not mine)

Control

Like any good MC that has Mic Control you need to control what is happening. For instance, don’t follow a girl you are trying to swoop to some bar that has a crappy band playing that her ex-boyfriend is in. You have to call the shots. Otherwise you could very easily end up Behind Enemy Lines. You make all decisions on where you are going and who you are rolling with. You need to know what moves to make during all hours of the day and night. Know what restaurant is best. Where the underground spots are. You need to dictate the action. Remember, part of what a night is scored on is “effective aggressiveness” and “ring generalship”. Don’t be afraid to walk away from the whole deal either. The key to this is having plenty of girls in your Pipe. You don’t even have to ask to know that my Pipe stays full like Mark Twain and General Macarthur’s.

Rapport

This one is tough. Let’s face it, G’s and most girls have very little in common. Most normal girls don’t like Boxing, hanging out with underworld figures, eating extremely fattening foods, listening to the sound of money being counted in a money counter, negotiating gem prices, drinking wine like we are about to start prohibition again, Swooping as many girls as possible, planning heists, living a life of leisure, and being an all around Jet-setting International Playboy. When a girl asks you “What do you like to do for fun?” You can’t really respond with “Picking up on Girls” as an answer. (Side note: Thru an unofficial study, I have found out that many Female G’s, yes they do exist, are Bi-sexual, and because of this, saying “Picking up on girls” can be an acceptable answer). You need to find some kind of common ground, hard as it may be at times. For instance, most white girls have some Irish blood in them, so if you’re Irish at all, Bingo, there you go. Know a little about Zodiac Signs as well. News just in, girls like talking about signs, especially exotic dancers. There is a reason fly cats in the 70’s worked the sign game. In the new millennium, however, you can’t really ask girls flat out “what’s your sign?” Their guard is up on that stuff. It’s better to lead girls “down the canyon” on this. Simply put, tell a girl you just had your birthday, ask a girl when her birthday is, and within two minutes, she will be asking you what your sign is. Every time. Worst case scenario, ask a girl what her favorite animal is and say it’s yours also. Just find some something in common…….Skippy.

Trust

Trust usually falls in line from Rapport. But still you have to work on it. Usually this is the part when you really have to put on your lying cap. For instance, if you were in a baseball bat fight with the Baseball Furies the night before, you probably want to leave it out of the conversation. Or if a girl asks you “how many girls you have slept with?” It goes without saying, that you don’t tell the truth. I remember a time when I was a young Prototype G and a girl I was swooping asked me, “how many girls you have slept with?”. I remember I responded “I don’t know, like fifty” thinking I would say a “low” number (in reality at that time it was probably about 3 to 4 times that). I remember her reaction and the funny look she had on face when I said, “fifty”. Incredibly and naively, I remember thinking that she gave me a weird look because it was such a low number (And in reality it is, if you go out a lot, you can swoop 50 fly girls in 2 months…) The next time I called her, her number was disconnected. It wasn’t until I ran into her a few months later, (at one of my Bases of Operations at the time), that I realized that she thought that number was extremely high. It wasn’t the first or the last time a girl has called me a “pig” (her lingo not mine). Skillfully, I talked my way out of it, on the fly, and ended up closing the account. A come-from-behind knockout a la Rocky Graziano. Side note: The best answer the dreaded question “how many girls you have slept with?” is, in the sincerest way possible “I have been with a few very important girls in my life…..” And leave it at that. Trust me.

Urgency

You have to make things happen fast when you are picking up girls. Every moment that goes by after you have gotten a girls phone number or made a date with her is hurts your chances. It’s a similar concept to “time erosion” with options trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Or the Chicago Board of Trade, or CME for that matter. It’s like a depreciating asset. The chances of a girl “coming to”, from the hypnotism of your Game is a lot higher as your Game starts to wear off. Always make plans with girls that night or the next. Collapse time frames.

Greed

One of the Seven Deadly Sins. Many theorists say it’s the most important of the deadly sins. “Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms — greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge — has marked the upward surge of mankind.”—Gecko. And greed — you mark my words — will not only save the G’s, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA………The Rest is Up to You.

Side Note:

In addition to Resort Style. On the west coast, summer style is very casual (I am primarily referring to the southern part). Don’t fall for it. People might think you are excessive and wrong for wearing a $2700 custom Italian suit in summer. Keep in mind this is made by skilled Italian craftsmen (I would call the guys who work on my suits Artists) who put about 50 hours of labor into it. Yet these same people think that think you are being excessive and wrong for wearing it, are wearing a Logoed Surf T-Shirt that costs five cents to make by some kid with missing fingers in some child labor sweat shop in some far-flung Tin Pot Republic. And they pay like $80 for the stupid T-Shirt! And I am the one being excessive and wrong…….Go Figure…..
