@sus for the last few weeks, we've been going to the weekly office hours hosted by deepfates at a local bar called Zeitgeist. I am gradually colonizing the wallspace with my stickers.

You are doing exactly what I didn't want, which is brag and drop some proper nouns. While providing absolutely nothing that I could ever write about

I can pay you for this information. what do you want that I have

What I want is flavor. What were the people at the bar like. Were they awkward were they introverted or extroverted were they men or women what were their ages how did they dress

We are after what Pound calls "the luminous detail." With just a dozen well selected details we can understand an entire culture

What were the topics of conversation. What were the zingers. What caused an awkward pause. What topics did people get really riled up about. How did deepfates sit in the bar did he lean against a booth relaxed like royalty. Did he stand with a beer in his hand. What did he drink. How did he drink it

I don't want to get Luka to come in to bully you into giving me this information, I would like you to do it of your own will and volition, but I will if I have to. He will understand, as a writer, he will appreciate the ethnographic desire I have. I will give you an acknowledgement in my Maqamat if you give good information, which is on course to be the greatest work of literatur in the history of mankind, so this is a big deal. Perma posterity is what I'm offering and you just need to clack some keys on your laptop

Why don't you just move in then? Otherwise I'd charge you $1500 a month for the details anyway.

Personal details rarely seem to interest me, which I think is part of why I've been having trouble writing fiction for the last several years.

Rather I just tend to float amiably through these encounters, with the observational details you so seek simply drifting through my sensorium.

Also, of course I'm going to brag. I love bragging almost as much as I love sadistically taunting people on messageboards. I'm a regular old bragger over here.
