I've found one of the most, if not the most essential things to a successful night is entering with the right mindset. But let's say you've been stuck at your computer, haven't talked to anyone all day and you're headed to the club later. What would be your go to activity to get yourself in state?

Personally, I like to turn on some loud music, preferably by some cocky mofo and dance around my place. Then I'll call up some friends and just shoot the shit for a bit. Finally, as I'm on my way to the location, I'll talk to random people on the sidewalk and ask them simple, easy questions, just to get in a talking to strangers mood - what time is it, do you know where ___ is, etc. By the time I get to the venue, I'll be reasonably personable and outgoing. And after a few opens at the club (which you should be doing as soon as you enter), I'm good to go.
