This week in Shanghaiist
Well it certainly looks like we weren't the only guys to get spammed by the folks from Riviera Events (check out the anonymous tips on our Contribute page!), Michael Cole of the SH Magazine did too. He asks some very poignant questions on his blog:
- Are women going to be encouraged to go to events where the flyer promotes doing strange things with Champagne bottles?
- When they say that there will be "free entry for women in sensual chic attire," does this mean that the entire population of Julu Lu will transfer to Bar Rouge?
- Is this the apogee of nightclub entertainment in Shanghai? All you can drink for 100 RMB, plus slutty looking women drink for free?
The sad thing is that this will probably work. Someone finally found a way to out BonBon the folks at BonBon. On the positive side, all of the schemey types that you didn't want to meet, but have more than 100 RMB in their pockets, will probably be at Bar Rouge on Thursday night. Which means I should be safe to roam the rest of the city at will.
Michael might've gotten the RMB100 all-you-can-drink bit wrong, but as for all the other points he's made, we really couldn't have said it better ourselves! We know we won't be there this Thursday. Still, if anyone of you happens to be there and wants to send in a review, you know you can get us at info@shanghaiist.com (Note to party organisers: Read this page).

C's Bar, 685 Dingxi Lu (near Fahuazhen lu), SHANGHAI
9pm-late.
Free entry for boys and girls.
10 RMB drinks for men and women.
Ladies Night? Yes, the talent is strictly female this night. All girl DJs. Starring...
DJ Lin [Latin music]
DJ Wolf Candy [atmospheric Drum and Bass]
DJ Kelly [electro]
DJ Ekki [tech-house and ROCK!]
DJ Siesta [drum and bass]
Followed by a "drag team" set with DJ GirlyFish, B-Sexchange, MsHP, Shanghai_Slutra, BoyNot! (only the ones wearing dresses get to play)
... and DJ Lady Ozone will fill in any gaps.
* Dress code: Boys in drag; Girls to dress "girly-girl." And, because we believe in equality, boys and girls are both free to enter, and the standard drink prices are 10 RMB for everyone.
What's up with all that party spam/scam/scum recently? shanghaiist should open a party "tip" channel and charge rmb500 for posting there or something...
Lots and lots and lots of people are 'confirmed' as going to the fvcking dumb bar rouge event - the 'cool' label sure is a money-spinner.
