Second Hand Smoking, Sports and Spain

The G Manifesto » 17 August 2010 » In Style, Travel » No Comments

Second Hand Smoking, Sports and Spain

If Second Hand Smoking is so bad for you, how come Spain won every major sporting event this summer (Wimbledon, FIFA World Cup and Tour de France)?

The 2006 smoking ban made a non-smoking area mandatory in bars and restaurants of more than 100 square metres in size. Any smaller establishments were allowed to choose whether or not to ban smoking. Most chose not. In fact, of the 350,000 hospitality venues in Spain, less than 45,000 have banned smoking completely.

Thank God for Spain.

The Greatest Athletes in the World Share one thing in common: Smoking

The Del Mar Race Track 4 O’ Clock Fridays

Click Here for The G Manifesto’s Free Gentleman’s Club Report

Click Here 007 Lifestyle – Living Like James Bond!

Just in, from my inside sources, and I am mildly surprised that no one else has reported on this:

Last year, if you remember, was the first year that 4 O’ Clock Fridays were actually 3 O’ CLOCK FRIDAYS.

This year at The Del Mar Race Track, there is a fusion of sorts, as there will be four 4 O’ Clock Fridays and three 3:30 Fridays this year.

Here is an EZ schedule to keep this it all straight in 2010:

Friday, July 23rd: 4 O’ Clock Fridays (CTBA STAKES)

Friday, July 30th: 4 O’ Clock Fridays (COUGAR II HANDICAP (Gr. III)

Friday, August 6th: 4 O’ Clock Fridays (SORRENTO STAKES (Gr. III)

Friday, August 13th: 4 O’ Clock Fridays (Daisycutter Handicap)

Friday, August 20th: 3:30 (Sandy Blue Handicap)

Friday, August 27th: 3:30 (CTT and Thoroughbred Owners of California Handicap)

Friday, September 3rd: 3:30 (EL CAJON STAKES)

I would list the bands, but they always suck. But that is neither Cocaine Queens nor Maybelline Teens.

Anyway you slice it, this give you an extra half hour to swoop fly girls in summer dresses. And we all know how important an extra half hour can be in a place with an ridiculously early last call.

Countdown to first post: 14 days, 22:21, 42 seconds.

Bang Colombia by Roosh Review

The G Manifesto » 03 July 2010 » In Dope, Game, Girls, Guide, People, Travel » 8 Comments

Bang Colombia by Roosh Review

Roosh, who has previously written the books, Bang (which I still haven’t read) and A Dead Bat in in Paraguay (which I have read, click for review here) has come out with a new book called Bang Colombia (which I have read).

The book is very short and concise, but is dope if you are headed to Colombia to swoop girls.

Bang Colombia, gives a little intro to Colombia and mostly talks about the cities Medellin, Bogota, and Cali. There are some real solid travel tips, and strategy’s for learning Spanish (which is very important when traveling to Colombia).

The culture and the nature of Colombian girls is touched on, however it is The Game aspect where Bang Colombia really shines like The Lighthouse of Alexandria.

Roosh has a real solid, somewhat unique, Game steez, that can be emulated by many people, especially those on a budget, which really should give this book mass appeal in a Down Economy.

There are some real specific Game techniques, and some real good Spanish lines, most of which I didn’t use on my most recent trip to Colombia. I look forward to trying them out in the future.

The book finishes off with some real detailed places to swoop girls in Medellin, Bogota, and Cali.

This book is a must purchase if you want to roll down to Colombia and swoop fly girls. Roosh has developed a real solid niche for himself, as the information provided is not available anywhere else. I really appreciate the concept, since for a long time I have thought that travel guides for cats who want to swoop girls is a great idea.

The verdict?

Buy it. Click Here to buy Bang Colombia

Las Vegas Broken Down to The Organic Compound

The G Manifesto » 28 June 2010 » In Gentleman's Club, Nightlife, Travel » 4 Comments

Las Vegas Broken Down to The Organic Compound

Click Here for The G Manifesto’s Free Gentleman’s Club Report

Click Here 007 Lifestyle – Living Like James Bond!

Recently on Roosh’s Forum these questions were posed. Here is the Data Sheet:

Favorite Daytime Bars/Spots to chill: Under 6000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets with a fly girl or girls. Piero Selvaggio’s Valentino’s in the Venetian. Joe’s Stone Crab in Caesars. Mario Batali’s Carnevino in The Palazzo. Emeril Lagasse’s Delmonico Steakhouse in The Venetian for a heavy lunch time, recovery-style lunch.

Favorite Restaurant with a bar for dinner: Thomas Keller’s Bouchon in The Venetian is numero uno and the most multi-purpose: Dolo dining, getting ready for the night with a running partner, con crew, or with a fly girl. I have done them all numerous times and Bouchon never disappoints. Followed by Alessandro Stratta’s Alex in Wynn (full go-off only). Paul Bartolotta’s Bartolotta in Wynn (great bar for some seafood apps and cocktail, solo, with running partner or biz meetings). Daniel Boulud’s Daniel Boulud (full meal or drinks and food at the bar Dolo).

Other restaurants of note: AquaKnox in Venetian (Oysters and Cocktail with running partner to warm up and get your stories straight for the evening), Mix in The Hotel (Dinner with fly girl). SW Steakhouse in Wynn (for big biz deals).

Favorite Buffet: Never been.

Favorite Casino with a pool: Don’t do the pool thing. Either I am asleep, or making moves.

Favorite Casino for gambling: Wynn, The Venetian.

Favorite Casino for staying: Wynn, The Venetian or The Hotel in Mandalay Bay.

Favorite Nightclubs: Don’t really do the nightclubs in Vegas, but if pressed, whatever Wynn is currently serving up, like Victor Drai’s XS, Tryst or Blush. It’s all the same crap in any casino: Douchebags (although it has never been in my language to use that term), Conventioneers, Weesh guys, Walletmen, and decently fly girls acting like strippers from Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Phoenix and other, more far flung locales. Better to just swoop the real thing at the Gentleman’s Clubs. Also consider Tao.

Favorite Strip club: Spearmint Rhino is really all you need to know, although Sapphire, Treasures, Club Paradise, and Rick’s all have their merits (I might be missing a few here). And by “merits” I mean fly girls to swoop. Hell, I even had a Magical Night in Little Darlings once. But that was a different era. Scores was pretty legit but closed.

Any other spots to meet ladies: Not sure about “ladies” but for fly girls, Forum Shops at Caesars Palace during the day. Or catching girls on the fly on the casino floor. Ocular bar in the Venetian. Parasol Down in Wynn.

Best places to meet Exotic Dancers after work: The Peppermill for grinds. Some other grind spot that I always forget the name of even though I have been there at least 40 times with Exotic Dancers. Parasol Up in Wynn. Ocular bar in Venetian.

Secret Spots: Do me a favor.

Se Hotel San Diego Joins Hundreds of Hotels Falling Into Default

(Here is my Facebook, New Twitter and The G Manifesto Facebook Page)

An unfriendly operating climate has taken its toll on another downtown San Diego hotel property — the latest of more than 30 in the region and 400 statewide to enter some stage of default.

Operators of the 184-room Sè San Diego hotel, an upscale boutique property at 1047 Fifth Ave. that opened in 2008, confirm that the hotel’s lender, a German bank, has filed a notice of default in connection with a $72.9 million construction loan. Such notice is the initial step in a foreclosure process.

Source

I called this one back in December 2008: Setai San Diego Hotel Almost Open.

Which reminds me, I made a friendly wager with one of my droogs that this would happen before December 2010.

Time to collect.

Barcelona Nightclub Data Sheets

Barcelona Nightclub Data Sheets

“Hey, it’s just a day in the life,
Club nights, one of the reasons I love life”
– Malice

(Here is my Facebook, New Twitter and The G Manifesto Facebook Page)

“Why, a visiting bishop asked Antoni Gaudí, did he trouble himself so much about the tops of the towers of The Sagrada Familia? After all, no one would ever see them. ‘Your Grace,’ Antoni Gaudí said, ‘the angels will see them.’Homage to Barcelona

This is a real valuable Data Sheet as this information is very hard to find on the internet, and almost everyone (one person came up aces) I asked prior to coming to Barcelona came up deuces.

This list is by no means definitive or exhaustive. Nor am I claiming. These are just some spots I was able to figure out that have mad fly girls; if you can get in.

Hotel Omm – great spot for a smooth cocktail to get your bearings straight. This was where I got stepped to by The Barcelona Nightlife Princess that was invaluable and introduced me to the fashion crowd, model dividends.

Solo Restaurant and Lounge – good on Friday nights and Saturday nights. 80% of the girls in here will be pretty fly. Near Hotel Omm. Closes at 3pm I think, but if you got juice, you can stay later. I had it.

Oshum – pretty sick club that stays open way late. Good on Fridays for sure. Scallywag behavior is possible here. Fly girls as well.

Broadbar – Want to see Spanish people dance salsa to hip-hop? Neither do I, but this place is pretty sick on Wed night. Tried to pull and “Inverse” Vicky Cristina on two fly 21 year old Catalan girls here, to no avail. But still ended up swooping one of them two nights later. Real solid spot, closes at 3pm.

Bikini – Crazy club open super late, good on Wed night. Probably other nights as well.

Sutton Club – Thursday night spot. Mad fly girls.

Hyde – Pretty wack, but being Barcelona, there are still fly girls there.

Dry Martini – ill spot for stiff cocktail before attacking Carrer d’Aribau area. Suited Down is a must when you bust.

Other spots to consider:

Nick Havana
Apolo
Tiffanys
Ribelinos
Seven Crowns (afterhours?)
Luz de Gas
Otto Zutz – haven’t been this time, but I used to chop up this spot as a 20 year old proto-type G. One of my old-school favorites.

As far as the Port Olimpic spots like CDLC, Shoko and Opium, I haven’t stepped. I am sure they are not too bad, but the Data Sheets I got was they are pretty touristy and International.

When I go to a place, I like to swoop the local girls. More difficult. And More Style Points.

Also, I heard The W Hotel is dope there, but I don’t do W Hotels.

Again, this list is by no means everything. I should know, I am keeping a few dope spots to myself for now. If you look hard enough, have some moves and understand the rhythms of the night, you will find them too.

Bona sort!

Nightlife Generalship and Nightlife Princesses in Barcelona

Nightlife Generalship and Nightlife Princesses in Barcelona

(Here is my Facebook, New Twitter and The G Manifesto Facebook Page)

Click Here to Download The G Manifesto’s Free Gentleman’s Club Report (pdf)

Click Here 007 Lifestyle – Living Like James Bond!

First night in town, no team around, Going for Dolo and begin my night at the Hotel Omm Barcelona lobby bar. Custom Suited Down, of course, I roll up, order a vino tinto and strike up a conversation with the smoothest cat in the spot. Or at least he was until I walked in.

I hit up “Oscar” for some Barcelona data sheets as I haven’t been to this city in a while. Oscar seems to be the resident playboy and he gives me some hot local tips, none of that Port Olimpic tourist stuff. I am out for fly Catalan girls.

Oscar gets called to the other bar by some cat he knows or the chef or something. So I just play the high post, and kick up my Gucci Loafers, International Playboy style. Within minutes, a striking blonde Catalan girl slides in beside me and orders a Cava. Her beauty actually gets me off balance and I hesitate; she looks like a young Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface, exuding class in a full length dress, dripping diamonds, flapper hair and all; which works out well, since I look not unlike a young Manolo. I even briefly think of “blowing out” my collar, but decide against. Thankfully, “Elena” rescues me and starts talking and we begin exchanging lyrical jabs in a “feeling out” round. This girl is beautiful; she could easily make my top 500 most fly girls I have swooped list.

Of course, Oscar returns when he sees me talking to the flyest girl in the spot and starts in with some high energy Game. This is not an uncommon situation; rolling Dolo, striking up a convo with a local G and having girls immediately step to you. It is however a tricky situation, a new ally can quickly turn into a new rival.

I have to hand it to Oscar, as his high energy Game, local knowledge and talking about how everything was “increíble” and “maravilloso” threatened to knock me out the box, and metaphorically, caught me with a looping shot.

I was now put in a tricky situation, I could have countered his high energy Game with high energy Game of my own, but I thought that could be a race to the bottom.

So I switched up speeds like Bruce Lee and took my Game down multiple notches, played aloof and effectively “shoulder rolled” Oscars Game. This made him appear a little spazzy and over-anxious. I also stayed in the convo and landed clean effective lyrical “punches” and even spit some Game in Catalan in addition to the Castelllano. For style points, of course.

Oscar wasn’t going to give up easy, and I can hardly blame him, this girl was beautiful and for all I know, I was encroaching on his Base of Operations. He had no interest in going out before to a nightclub, but when Elena, the Nightlife Princess, suggested going to the nightclub Solo, all of a sudden he was all in.

I did notice two weak points in Oscar’s Game: one, he did not smoke and had a slight cough, which told me he wasn’t 100%. And two, he said earlier he had to go to work the next day, so I knew if I could get him into deep water, I could drown him.

We all three skip the line at Solo straight to VIP. Although such things rarely hold my affection like when I was a younger G, however, rolling with a top tier Nightlife Princess, does have its privileges.

After an hour or so, Oscar, like I had anticipated, bowed out. However, Elena being a Night Princess, was constantly stepped to by cats she knew. I just stayed in the cut and used Nightlife Generalship (which is similar to Ring Generalship, only in a nightclub), to defeat all comers. Displayed some Salsa Game as well.

Solo closed, rolled to Oshum, things got a little Beeky and it had to be at least 7am. Endurance has always been one of my strong suits.

I go for the finish, “Quieres ver mi apartamento cerca de Passeig de Gracia?

She responds, “Si, vamos!

Not a bad start to this Barcelona trip.

Made some scratch on the Floyd “Money” Mayweather VS Sugar Shane Mosley Fight (which played out pretty much exactly as I thought) and The Kentucky Derby.

With the Euro getting mauled, its a good time to go to Spain for a little Geo-Arbitrage, of sorts. Good thing I am in Barcelona now.

Timing.

The Barcelona girls are just as fly as I remember them. Maybe flyer.

The Best Feeling

The G Manifesto » 19 April 2010 » In Travel » 8 Comments

The Best Feeling

Click Here 007 Lifestyle – Living Like James Bond!

(Here is my Facebook, New Twitter and The G Manifesto Facebook Page)

When I was a young up and coming Proto-Type G, I used to think the best feeling was flying on beans and getting a blower from a young fly girl with pigtails at 5am after a rave.

Then I thought the best feeling was kicking back, suited down at Parasol Up at Wynn sipping on Spanish Red, grit in hand and seeing that Exotic from the Spearmint Rhino round the corner after her shift for a meet up at 4am.

I also used to think that hitting a trifecta at Del Mar, getting measured for a Custom Suit, pulling off a Standover job, or Entering the Dragon was the best feeling.

What do I think is the best feeling now?

Booking a flight.

Once I book a flight, the whole world takes on a rosy hue of unlimited success.

Since I just booked one to Spain for a month or more, you could say I am doing much better than fine.

I still have adoration for the fly pigtail girl while on beans thing though. Where are the girls with the pigtails at these days?
