I promised this year that I would write executive summaries of my lays and then storify them for a book at the end of the year. The previous reports had all been around 1000 words but I simply couldn’t write this one up in so few words. It took a lot of time and there … Continue reading #62: Dead Simple

#61: Was It All Worth It? (Analysis)
To be read alongside the lay report ***** Gutter Game: I don’t have much experience with Gutter Game but what I can say is that I didn’t do enough of it on the jaunt, especially on the earlier days. If I had done a cursory loop of the Daygame route between 11pm and midnight each … Continue reading #61: Was It All Worth It? (Analysis)
#61: Was It All Worth It?
It was 11:30pm and we were walking down the main shopping street of Prague on a cool evening (T). It was my first ever Eurojaunt and while the city itself had proven a nice place I was, so far, empty-handed when it came to Daygame. 11 days of random approaches and a 60 approach number … Continue reading #61: Was It All Worth It?
Prague Review
There it is, my first Eurojaunt in the bag. How did I do? What did I think? Would I go back? Let’s find out. Statistics It’s always good to start with stats because numbers don’t lie and they’re very useful to tell a story at a macro level. Approaches: 69 Number Closes: 27 Social Media … Continue reading Prague Review
London Mindsets
I was having a beer with another Daygamer a few days ago and he asked me what my mindsets were when I was out in London (emphasis on “my”). In the moment I started listing some and then boldly claimed I could list ten. So in a blatant rip-off of a recent podcast, here they … Continue reading London Mindsets

What a weird weekend I’ve had. On Saturday I was up early and raring to go, ready to meet Mr Rasputin and head out to the sunny streets of London; my first time in three weeks. I always find that something happens when I get back into Daygame; perhaps a little bit of excitement and … Continue reading 21/04/19
Reading The Rational Male
I’ve just completed my last swipe-left on the Kindle version of The Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi; it was essential that I got the book in electronic format because then I could read it while sitting on the can at work. Now usually I only read ebooks while taking a dump but I was enjoying … Continue reading Reading The Rational Male

The first quarter of 2019 has come and gone and what did I think about it? I’ve had a handful of dates and a couple of lays from Daygame so the results are fine. In reality it’s this, the second quarter of any year, where you can rack up the results. My plan was one … Continue reading 01/04/19
#59: The Patron Saint of Sacred Cafe
Remember any (T) marks where I’ve used a technique of some sort that I want to draw attention to. The analysis post will be released one week from today. ***** It was an oddly warm February day (T) when I met Lisa, just up from Trafalgar Square on that street which, upon turning right again, … Continue reading #59: The Patron Saint of Sacred Cafe

Spring has rolled into summer and my brain is awash with thoughts just as the streets are right now. London fluctuates between floods of rain - hailstones today actually - and clear piercing skies. Add to that the wind and you’ve got a perfect storm brewing. The weather seems to have brought out more of … Continue reading 10/03/19
