Going to Attend Shanghaiist Party

By Jian Shuo Wang on 2008-12-17 21:25 · Meetup

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.

@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.

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" :-)

I didn't go to the party. I'm just too shy to go there alone. If only someone could go there with me.
