Nick Sparks and Christian Hudson are the real deal
July 16, 2008
I’ve been delinquent with the updates as not only have I been guest instructing on a weekend bootcamp, including instruction on Saturday until the wee wee hours of the morning (we aren’t kidding when we say we put our clients first), but I’ve also been visiting my little sister who lives here in the Big Apple.
I just spent a very pleasant evening with her and her friends watching the New York Philharmonic and Lang Lang (the 26 yo. Chinese genius pianist) rock it on the Lawn in Central Park for a couple of hours, finishing everything off after the encore with a spectacular fireworks show! At first, New York kind of weighs on you with the constant smell of garbage on the sidewalks, the overpoweringly tall buildings casting long shadows over the narrow streets, the wave after wave of fast-walking pedestrians battling it out for space on the sidewalks with construction sites, dogs, and hotdog vendors. But after a while, you get used to all that (again), and your senses are dulled to those distractions, enabling you to take in the many many things that make New York a world-class city like no other. Of course, it helps if you’re listening to a live performance by Lang Lang and the NY Philharmonic while lying on the grass sipping wine by candlelight, surrounded by hundred year old trees.
But before I get completely distracted by reminiscences of delightful evenings in New York, let me get to my original point.
This weekend was my first time actually going out on the town with Nick Sparks. And I do have to say, he lives up to the hype. Out of all the PUAs and gurus I’ve ever met in person or seen on any product, Nick stands out with his quick wit, infectious humor, and amazingly feel good vibe. He’s got the feel of a natural who can also analyze social dynamics. How do you make a girl scowl, laugh, punch you, hug you, and kiss you, all within the first minutes of meeting? Ask Nick Sparks.
Even I learned a thing or two while watching him attract girls left and right with effortless ease. Check him out here: http://www.thesocialman.com/people/nick.php
And then of course, I had the opportunity to once again learn from the man who started me on this whole journey, the doyen of The Social Man, the leader who manages such crazy personalities as myself, Nick, Stephen Nash, DJ, and many many others. And the man who has seen it all.
We often talk on skype from opposite sides of the globe. But we rarely have the chance to go out together. So it was good to see just how versatile this man can be. He can do routine stacks and canned material. But he can also go “natural,” in the moment, in the flow. I saw him make an emotional connection with a hot girl while talking with her about particle physics on a Friday night! If you don’t yet know who Christian Hudson is, … where in the world have you been? Check him out here: http://www.thesocialman.com/people/christian.php
I think it would be very dangerous if all three of us actually lived in the same city.
Lots of great updates coming soon…
Happy playin’, The Asian Rake.

Dude, you lead the most fucking awesome life! I wanna be you!
Yeah man, after hanging out with you this weekend, I’d probably trade lives with you, at least for a week or two.
That’s a distinction you now share with Tom Brady, Jack Johnson, and the Dalai Lama…

Wow…I was at the same candlelight concert in the city the other day. There was some amazing talent there that night I must say.
