Well, a fairly long weekend has come and gone and provided some good insights and testing opportunities. Products in use were Ammo 1.0, Instant Openness, and Instant Shine, all in TOGO format. This is the first time using ammo again since a pretty bad OD not too long ago. Nothing really groundbreaking, but as it’s been insightful for me maybe it’ll be insightful for someone else. 
Thursday night was a concert followed by the bar. A couple shots of shine and IO (3 each) were making me feel pretty good, however, the signature didn’t last very long at the bar. I applied it way too early, but I think it did make the music more enjoyable. I felt generally a lot more outgoing, and people around me seemed more chatty. These two combined really brighten things up. Not really any good “attraction hits” but a lot of good conversation. I happened to know a lot of different people at the bar, and everyone was reacting positively. Worst part of the night though was when it started to wear off. Basically a nose dive, all of a sudden I got really tired, and got in anti-party anti-social mood. In the future I must make sure to reapply or face the consequences.
Friday. Another concert, mid-sized rock show, about three hours away, so I had to go through a big commute. Arrived at the concert completely clean, and then put one spray of ammo on my chest, mostly concealed by my shirt. I was feeling in a pretty good right up until then. started to get irritable and a headache. I was noticing a large number of “stolen glances” from a few cute girls, but no real hits at this level. I did feel that the negatives detracted from my enjoyment of the show. Got hit bad a couple of times by errant moshers, and wanted to just straight up punch them in the face… Afterwards I was set to meet up with a few friends, but I was feeling very tired and burnt out. So I applied three shots of shine (2 neck 1 wrists). Started to feel a little better, but not noticeably. about ten minutes later I applied 4 shots of IO, and then I started to really feel better. My headache died down and I was feeling more cheerful. Friends were chatty and outgoing, and I had a good time. Of note, the friend I was staying with was especially nice to me and was going way out of his way to be a good host.
Saturday-morning. basically running on leftovers. transit, got what seemed to a straight up DIHL moment with a cute girl on the train. I was really disoriented so I just looked away and pretended nothing happened. Had I been a smarter man… Got on a bus to take me home, one of the passengers had major bad BO, so I decided to spray a little shine on myself to try and distract my nose. It really seemed to wake me up, but the whole bus (it was a fairly small bus) smelled like it for a few minutes. The bus driver even commented that it smelled “really nice” but was making her allergies go nuts. I felt a little bad about that but it died down and then I was left just smelling mr. never-heard-of-bathing.
night. Yet another concert. This one was kind of important cause I actually did all the booking for it, so I had to be on top of things and make sure everything ran smoothly. Took a Realllllllll good shower and then applied a mix of 1 shot ammo to the chest again, three shots of shine, and the last of my IO which was about 3 good shots and then a couple of sputtery ones. This worked pretty well for me. I was noticing the benefits of ammo such as a good number of glances from cute girls, and I seemed to be getting a straight up hit from a cutie that I know (but unfortunately has a boyfriend). No one seemed distant, and I wasn’t feeling any agitation. In fact, I felt damn good in a sort of invincible way. Just having a great time, talking to all the bands after their sets. Had a couple of moments where people started talking to me and then would not leave me alone. Which is something I’m really not used to.
I think the mix might need a bit more ammo, as it definitely has a more social vibe than a sexy vibe, but I feel I’m definitely getting a good handle on how to make this stuff work for me. I feel I’m getting really close to a sweet spot, and I’ve gained a lot of respect for buffering. IO will definitely be reordered eventually, It seems to have this great cheer inducing effect on me.
