Pick-up lines that work/amuse and other information on getting partners
Firstly, lemme say my trip to Arizona Renaissance Festival ROCKED.
I found Deb, she's cool, while I was talking to her I got tackled by the Ian. Ian, le awesomeness, in turn introduced me to Preston, who is le awesomeness part deux and can deliver quick wit with a straight face. He defended my honor with a long soft thing and kicked Ian's ass with it. Ooh yeah.
Also met Derrick through these two, cool guy, offered me his tent and promised to be good (which he was, and I needed a place to stay, seeing as all hotels in the area were booked, no surprise there).
Ran into Stephanie as well, friend/Ian's mom/co-owner of LRF/totally awesome lady. Also tackled me. :P She apparently abandoned her husband for the duration of the AZ Faire. Hehe, go Stef! When security was going around checking IDs (and I didn't have one), she said to him, "I recognize everyone here as a Renaissance Festival employee." Which I am.
Crow! Bleedin' Crow was there too. I ran into him at Scarby, know him from LRF, and there he was at AZ. Whaddya know.
Met Kevin, whom I recognized from LRF as well, and he asked if I work the circuit. I said no, but I might someday, and he said "Well, if you ever decide to do this, know that you do have friends out here, you are not alone, there's 2 or 3 of us from Louisiana and besides, I'm the token gay man and I know everybody so I can introduce you around." I was bouncy! The following day, Kevin met my fiance and thefted him for the duration of the afternoon. The two walked Faire together and I ran into them several times. Apparently Kevin was not needed at his booth.
Saturday evening, I was hanging out with Ian and Derrick and we met with Andrew, Cali, and Melanie. We went to play poker, and debated using chips or playing strip poker. I hadn't ever played strip poker, so that's what we did. Cali watched, so we made her keep the average [=most dressed person-(most dressed-least dressed person)]. I won, without ever having had to take off a single garment. Naturally, I was somewhat disappointed. Derrick, Ian, and Melanie all wound up naked, and Andrew never had to take off more than his necklace.
HOWEVER.
While these 3 were naked, two random other people (Uhrs and Nate) walked in. Intrigued, they watched the end of the game and we all continued to hang out (dressed again). Later on, we were all just standin' round talking outside, when I mentioned something or other about my exhibitionism. Uhrs was intrigued. He'd never met such a woman, and he asked many questions, and was totally respectful about it and I felt utterly delighted (this was the same guy who had seen Melanie naked and said simply, "Wow," thus winning both me and her over.) Melanie walked into the conversation at some point and we all somehow talked about polyamory. She said that was why she liked me before she met me: apparently Ian had told her about me and he had said "Yeah, she's this totally cool girl, she's into polyamory and stuff." Apparently Melanie is too, so she liked me immediately, and we both told the boys (esp. Uhrs) about that. We are also both exhibitionists, and thanks to Uhrs' questioning, it wound up with me and her naked in her tent being presented to four boys (Uhrs, Nate, Ian, and Derrick). No touching allowed, but we were both very happy and I felt very wanted. After maybe half an hour of just sitting and talking like this, Uhrs asked us both to redress--apparently he was having trouble restraining himself now. I moved someone to aggression with my body! YAY! I was told a number of times that I should model for a living.
And I slept in Derrick's tent, spooning and all, and he was a good boy. End night.
Oh and I gave Ian a (wood-blossomed) flower. Apparently he's never gotten one before. Wanted to give Crow one but forgot. :(
Now. Great pick-up lines:
"Nice boots. Wanna fuck?" --Victoria's favorite, my second favorite
"I'm the census-taker. How many people are in your family? Do you have any sisters? What's your phone number? What are you doing Friday night? Hey, it's for the census." --Ian
"Hey, wanna go have some sex and pizza later?" Proper response: "No thanks, I don't eat pizza." --Rennie pick-up line. I knew, without having heard it before, what the proper response was. Conclusion: I've been at Faire too long. Presented by Preston.
"I lost my teddy bear. Will you sleep with me?" --Derrick
"Can I have (this piece of merchandise)?" "My lady, you can have anything you want." "Can I have you?"** --me
"Wow."** --Preston
**-- these lines have been proven to work.

I HIGHLY recommend this article. It's meant for men trying to "seduce" women (in a NOT-BAD way), but also applies the other way around. In general, really. Go read. Now.

Quasi-random snippet: "Make a joke. 'Remember how we were talking about the sexiest food and you said watermelon? Well, I fed some watermelon to my cat and he is looking at me in the strangest way. . . .' "
Delightful. :P
