Just because you’re indie doesn’t mean you have to buy into bad beer, Dan! :P

Yeah, Tang Hui is cool. It is in my neighborhood. Lots of Jiao Tong students some nights. Zheng Du (the guy singing) is the owner. He does a pretty good James Brown. Did you catch that?

Yeah, Damn right Pabst Blue Ribbon! When I was back in China mid 90’s I wa so happy to see they had 蓝带啤酒。Champion of College Beerdrinkers everywhere. No need to be pretentious.
Which reminds me of one of my favorite movie dialog quotes:
Frank: “What kind of beer do you drink, neighbor?”
Jeffery: “Heinekin.”
Frank: “Heinekin?!? F**k that shit! Pabst, Blue Ribbon!”

I was just watching the history channel and they were talking about “The Dropa Stones”. I searched your sight to see if you ran across these “extra-terrestrial” aritfacts. It doesn’t look like you went far enough west to see them. Apparently these is a race of dwarves in the mountains on the border between China and Tibet that are the descendent of extra-terrestrials. Run across any??

I remember when I first came to Shanghai in 98. At the supermarket at the Portman, the PBR was 12RMB for a can, while the Heineken was 5RMB.
BTW, Zheng Du of Tang Hui is sponsoring a Reggae Party at the Creek Art Center on March 25. You can get details at 1333 191 2313
Was at Tang Hui again last night. Confirmed as my favorite bar in the city. Easily. Great atmosphere. Interesting cross-section of people, mostly Chinese. The inbetween sets DJ music could use some work, though. Lots of 50s stuff. Also, I wrote above that Fridays were 70s rock and reggae nights. That doesn’t appear to be true. Fridays and Saturdays appear to pull from very similar set lists. And that’s fine. Nothing wrong with a little “Sex Machine.”
The owner was passing out cards for the March 25 reggae party Pat mentioned. Looks like they are calling it “Reggae Town.” And it features such big names as Pump (with Wanglei), DJ Judah and DJ Yas. It’s 120 RMB, which includes two drinks. Drinks afterward are RMB 25. It runs from 9:30 pm to 1:30 a.m. at The Creek Art Center. After-party is at Tang Hui.

I have run across many short creatures here in China. Never thought any of them were from outer space. But now that you mention it …

The party at Creek was fantastic. Wang Lei was excellent as expected, the atmosphere was great, and the upstairs chill couldn’t have been more relaxed…shame they insisted on throwing in some horrible reggae-pop nonsense.
Dan, cool site man. Great pics and interesting articles!
