Hey Shanghai,

How U Doin'? Have U had enough of the Women's World Cup yet?! I mean seriously folks, why disgrace the game of football like this?! Anyway, how about the weather? And speaking of which, did U ever get the feeling that it's just time to pick up your bags and go on a holiday? Time to just get away from the traffic, the people spitting on the street, the beggars, the hawkers, the shallow plastic people, the low quality air, the everyday grind, like its time to get to wide open spaces and check out the beach and run through the shallows of the ocean? Well, I had a buddy do that last week. He decided to go to Okinawa and then got slammed by two typhoons and a wave of testosterone provided by your friendly neighbourhood Marines! Hah! He is one unlucky sonuva. ... beach! Glad it wasn't me!

Well as we ponder on his misfortune... let's see what's on this weekend: you can check out the Artistry Tour w/ Taiwan's Tank Hong Kong/Us DJ Gruv & Euor group Karma - Yakuza Ink - Taboo Favela - CD Release Party of IGO - Another Exquisite Party - Science II - Puxi Galore - Spa Feeling - Par ICI - Cloud Night - I Candy goes Toot! - Muse turns One! - There is an F1 Party - Check out Heaven & Hell - Mid Autumn Festival - End Of Summer Party - Hottie Nakadia is back behind the one's and two's - Music at De la Coast - Live acts Banana Monkey and R3 - DJ Slater - And local rock Mint (the band NOT the club!) - there U have it! Pretty much everything U need to know in a bread basket! Have a good weekend!
