We’ve perused the net, we’ve asked our friends and now we’ve come up with our favorite highlights for the days ahead.

Wednesday, June 18th
Playing hooky from work has never been this much fun! Sneak over to the Shanghai International Convention Center to experience some of the madness that is the Shanghai International Wine and Spirits Fair, where alcohol experts from across the world come to strut their stuff. It’s 9:30-5 Tuesday through Thursday, and sure beats the cubicle (or the coach, in our case). Now imagine: it’s these peoples’ job. 2727 Binjiang Da Dao, Lujiazui near Fenghe Lu 滨江大道2727号 近丰和路

Thursday, June 19th
It’s the last day to catch the first-ever Andy Warhol exhibit in China, which brings the legendary American artist’s to the walls of Shanghai’s Art+Shanghai gallery. Miss the boat? No worries, head to up to 50 Moganshan for more modern works: laughing Buddhas and Chairman Maos in Qiu Shengxian’s Solo Show at Outstanding Art. Art+Shanghai, 1295 Fuxing Lu, Bldg 75, Room 101 and Outstanding Art 50 Moganshan Lu, Bldg 4A-103/4B-101, near Changhau Lu

Catch the album release show of Beijing punk band Demerit at Yuyintang. 9pm, 30 RMB cover and all the attitude you can handle. The album name? “Bastards of a Nation.” We told you there was attitude. 1731 Ya’an Xi Lu 延安西路1731号(凯旋路)天山公园小白楼

Saturday, June 21st
All that SIFF glitz and glamour can get a little overwhelming. Embrace your inner geek-athlete and come out see sporty nerds from all across Asia compete in the Tenth Annual Shanghai Ultimate Frisbee Tournament at Dulwich College. Feeling inspired to donn the spandex? Make a night of it dancing away to those 80’s tunes you still sing in the shower at Volar’s Disco! Disco! party, starting at 9pm. Dulwich College 222 Lan'an Lu, Jinqiao near Biyun Lu 蓝桉路222号 近碧云路 and Volar 99 Yan Dang Lu, Fuxing Park near Nanchang Lu, 雁荡路99号 近南昌路, 复兴公园
