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](https://a314.com/product/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.
