Hi Alex.  Alright, now that we've reconnoitered the population you're aiming for, the next step is to actually work your way inside one of these fancy airline clubs.  As I noted before, in my time each airline has a different name for their club, The Red Carpet Club, The Crown Room,  The  Admirals Club and The Presidents Club, to name a few in the United States.  (That's the country I was born in, although as I write this I am in New Caledonia.)

Step One: look attractive and professional--and frustrated.  The play is this: you'll need to stand just outside the doorway to your preferred airline lounge and look as though you've lost your membership card. 

Remember, you simply must look professional.  Alex, I've no idea what types of clothes or styles you'll have in 2101, but here are three quick tips:

• tilt your hips just a bit

• show your calves

• let your hair drape down in front of your face a little

You'll be looking down as you rummage through your purse or clutch or briefcase, acting like you are searching for that wretched membership card that you just must have left in your other business card case when you were in such a dreadful hurry to leave this morning because you'd been up until Midnight perfecting your PowerPoint presentation and you had to roust yourself up at Three this morning to drive (your car) to the airport and you just must have forgot it.

You understand the idea.  Just get your storyline down, put it into your own words and make it tight about the edges, then practice it a few times in the mirror at home before you ever go on your trip. 

It is absolutely critical you nail the first two seconds.  Everything that's vital happens in the first two seconds of the encounter with that prospect who can get you in that door as his guest.  Two seconds.  And it's not what you say that's the most important; it's what you do and how you look.

You must appear attractive enough to play to his male-ness, but also look sufficiently professional and frustrated to play to his road warrior sense of duty.  You shouldn't seem distraught, like you're going to fall apart, nor should you appear frantic, as though you might cause a scene.  Remember your target will have an agenda in that club, usually getting a drink and making calls and checking emails (if you have those in 2101; you may be better off if you don't, but that's a subject for another TimeCap, Alex).

Because your man has that agenda, he won't want to have anything to do with you once you get inside.  He is simply helping out a fellow road warrior.  Occasionally you'll run into a creep; just ditch him once you're inside.  The easiest way to do that is to go into the ladies room right away.

Casey's Tip: Remember--single males are your target.  They are by far the most likely to help you into the club.  Good hunting, Alex.
