Hey Shanghai,
How U Doin'? I say! Man, the traffic in this city is worsening by the day!!! Thank the heavens that I always carry my MP3 player with me. But hey, let's talk about something less boring, shall we? This weekend's big name to hit the city is BT, one of my favorite producers. Should be a quality show. And its at a recently renovated Absolut House. This is the relaunch.
Other big names are Dj Osho of Isreal and Ian Carey of Hedkandi fame. If Big Name DJ Parties aren't your thang there are plenty of other parties in and around Shanghai with themes like... Beach Rescue - Grown & Sexy - Battling Bad Behaviour - Lipstick & Lingerie - Wine Tasting - Drink 'til U Drop - Par Ici: a French music do - Exquisite Vodka Party - Beach Party in a refridgerator - A REAL Beach party w/ Coolio @ Dino Beach- A coming out of the closet party named I Wanna Break Free - August Babies Birthday Bash - Wunderbar turns one! - Garden Party - and Happy belated Birthday to Sunny Feridun, by the way, if you see him at a pub remember this, he loves Sambuca!!
Great Live music happening all throughout the city like Blues Electronica @ Piccone - 1234 MusicFest Preview w/ several great local bands @ 4 live - Reggetron Rockout @ Mural - Cotton Club - JZ - JCW - JWC - JC Penny - etc., etc. AND Riviera's Pool Party at the Purple Mountain Hotel is ON this Saturday.

| Joke of the
week |
A masked man walked into a sperm bank, pulled out a gun and said, "This is a stickup, open the safe!" The secretary replied, "You idiot, this is a sperm bank, there's no money here!!" The masked man insisted that if she did not open the safe he would shoot her on the spot. Reluctantly, she opened the safe and stood back. There in the open safe were two vials of sperm. The robber pointed his gun at the two vials and ordered the secretary to drink them both or he would blow her head off. When she had finished drinking the second vial the robber took off his mask. There stood her husband with a big grin on his face!!
"See Doris", he said. "that didn't kill you, did it?!"
