I am going to attend the Shanghaiist.com’s Christmas Party on Saturday. Dan Washburn kindly sent the invitation, and people at Shanghaiist.com have been my friends for a long time.
Here is the party detail. I believe Shanghaiist.com and this blog shares a lot of readers (the expat community), and if you also consider to go, see you this Saturday night.
- What: A Very Shanghai Christmas, a holiday party presented by Shanghaiist and Cotton’s
- When: Saturday, December 20, 8 pm ’til late
- Where: The new Cotton’s at 294 Xinhua Lu, near Dingxi Lu
- Music: Early on, all your holiday favorites. Later on, DJ El Nomo (of Bananas fame) on the holiday wheels of steel.
- Santa: He’ll be there! Get your photo taken on his lap! For free! (Professional portraits taken by Stephen Yang.)
- Special Drinks: Holiday-inspired cocktails and beers from American Craft Beer Partners.
- Movies: Watch some holiday classics!
- Fireplaces: Two of them!
- Outdoor Seating: In December? You bet. Assuming no rain, portable heaters will be brought out to the garden.
- Entry: RMB 50, includes one beer from American Craft Beer Partners.
Can anyone go there without an invitation?
@Michelle, I think so, but you need to pay the 50 RMB entrance fee, as everybody else. You can check with them to confirm (I am not an organizer).
@Jianshuo Thanks for your answer, and I’ll have a check.
Anyone can come! No invitation necessary.
Oh, that will be a very fun party! Please say hello to Dan Washburn for me if you see him, OK? He’s one of those “friends I haven’t met yet” :-)
The whole world is crashing, and China will be in worse shape, and you guys are partying?
Jim,
let me guess… you’re NOT staying in Shanghai…
JS,
arggh… I miss this happening again.
I went to the party and left around 9:00 PM.
I didn’t go to the party. I’m just too shy to go there alone. If only someone could go there with me.
