After getting your ID back from the bouncer, because he inexplicably cards you (you were in high school in the Guns N' Roses years), you stroll into the bar to meet up with the table of 10 people who are they waiting. Grab the pitcher and pour yourself one, You look around the crowd to see who looks particularly interesting that night.

While the bartender is filling your pitcher (Sierra Nevada Pale Ale because your friends like the light stuff) you glance at her from three stools over.

As you sit down next to her, her friends giggle and head off to the general direction of a pinball machine. She turns and says "If you weren't cute, you wouldn't get away with staring at women like that. My name's Sam." Then she laughs. Well, this could be going alot worse.
(7:30:47) - The Doors - Touch Me
Your friends are making lots of noise, and it seems that they are laughing at your expense. One comes over with the pretense of ordering another pitcher, but he's just checking you out. You introduce him to her and they make small talk before he walks off with a "see you laaaay-ter, pal."
(7:34:00) - The Pixies - Here Comes Your Man
A great Bob Marley tune hits the radio and she says she wants to dance. You get up, and follow here. Doing your best to avoid doing the White Man's overbite, you dance. She moves amazingly.
