Representing Singapore at the Expo: DURIAN STAR
Made in China ad campaign has its faults
Electrolist: Underground/overground clash again
Hotelist: Park Hyatt Shanghai
Chinese netizens' list of 2009 internet memes
Even though we only sold two Shanghaiist T-shirts, most people who attended the first Shanghaiist Happy Hour last month at Cotton's -- thanks again, Cotton! -- thought it was a huge success (except maybe for the waitress who got hit in the head with a beer stein and never came back to work ... seriously, is she OK?).
So, we're planning on making these Happy Hours regular things until the bars of Shanghai get sick of us. Another one of our favorite Shanghai bar owners -- Bob Boyce -- has welcomed our crowd (that means you) into one of his fine establishments. This advance notice should give you plenty of time to mark your calendars, if people really still mark calendars anymore:
What: Shanghaiist Happy Hour II (numbering these is going to get old really fast)
When: Friday, March 3, 6 pm-9 pm
Where: Blue Frog, 86 Tongren Lu, Tel: 6445-6634 (请带我去铜仁路86号)
Who: Anyone who shows up
Drink Specials: Two-for-the-price-of-one on all standard drinks. (Standard drinks are house wines, bottled and draft beers, house spirits -- vodka, gin, rum, whiskey -- with juices or sodas.)
Free Food: Nachos, marinated chicken skewers, spring rolls, etc.
Shooters: Blue Frog is famous for having a ridiculous number of shots available, and we have been warned by bar management that some might "appear" throughout the evening.
Music: We are supplying the music, but we haven't put a playlist together yet. Suggestions? Requests?
See you there.

Kudos to a great FIRST Shanghaiist Happy Hour at Cottons. Annie, the waitress, made it back after Chinese New Year so I guess no permanent damage.
Blue Frog will be a great venue, despite its location in the "Bar Mall"
2 for 1 drinks on a Friday night?
Cool. We will be there for sure. :)
I like blue frog Tongren, somehow just like it better than the Maoming and Hongqiao outlets. Yay!
how about an 'open pod' music policy? let shanghaiist readers contribute to the music with their own digital music devices. shanghaiist could say that the first three commentors on this post, for example, are entitled to half an hour each on blue frog's soundsystem where they can play the music of their choice. more fun for everyone.
Damn, I guess I missed out on the music rotation thingy. Oh well, I'd opt for anything by Kayne, Hotel Costas, Tiesto, John Legend, Damien Rice, Oakenfold, Mflo, Sean Paul, Beck etc.. so it's cool.. Aight, see y'all at the party~
