Fast forward an hour: I'm walking back from the bathroom and I decide to keep walking towards the Asian chick. When I get there I see that she's standing next to a co-worker and it's blaring jazz music. Hrrmmm. I decide to go with a tried and true technique:
ME: Excuse me, can you help me? <indicating my ticket>
HER: Sure.
ME:
HER: :-)
ME: What's your name?
HER: A_____.
ME: I'm John. Nice to meet you. I know you're working right now, but I want to talk with you. What's your cell number?
HER: 818...
ME: Cool. What time do you get off work?
HER: 10:30pm.
ME: Cool. I'll call you at 11:00pm. Catch you later.
All in all about 30 seconds. Is it solid? Probably not-- I just called her right now (11:20pm) and she didn't pick up. I'll try again on Tuesday or something during normal business hours. Point being, though, is that a 30-second number-close is totally possible, given the right circumstances.
