Shanghaiist Happy Hours return!

Guess where you could be exactly a week from now? Drinking with us at Shanghaiist's first happy hour of the year! Assuming the weather gods decide to bless us with as sunny a Tuesday as today was, we'll all be hanging outdoors, chatting and listening to great (if we may say so ourselves) music at Cotton's Xinhua Lu location.

We already know what you're saying: "Egads! I've been waiting all this time for a chance to possibly buy the new(ish) editor of Shanghaiist a drink! This is like a dream come true - especially since it'll only cost 20RMB for a Tsingtao and 30RMB for select other drinks!" Yes, yes, we getcha. But if that weren't enough, we're going to sweeten the deal a little bit.

Since it's been a good six months since our last happy hour, and since our first one ever was at a Cotton's too (albeit the other one), we're celebrating this one by giving you a prize.

Annoyed by our pick for their last contest? This one won't be quite as subjective. Drop off your business card and we'll be choosing you blind.

Hope to see you there!
