• Posted Grown & Sexy: Getting down n dirty on the Bund to Shanghaiist
  For one reason or another, when it comes to nightlife, Shanghaiist has its reservations about the Bund. Sure, we do the promenade/requisite bar crawl when out-of-towners come to play but, at the end of the day, we’re just not sold on it. (Our aversion was further amplified upon recently discovering a Facebook group called “THE SHANGHAI ELITE” – yes, they’re so elite they need to shout their name wherever they go. The activities of this...
• Posted Team Canada hits Volar tonight to Shanghaiist
  In Shanghaiist's past life, when she was not Shanghaiist but, rather, Torontoist -- oops, that's right, she wrote for the better local blog, blogTO -- she used to go to a kickass monthly called Shuffle.

• Posted Pecha Kucha 6 on Saturday, June 16 to Shanghaiist
  We went to the last Pecha Kucha night in Shanghai. We had a good time. We recommend you attend the next one being held this upcoming Saturday.

This time we will go back...
• Posted China's 6th DMC Championships on June 30 to Shanghaiist
  "People say they love hip hop, but then they go to Guandii. To me, we’ve never had hip hop in China. We just took things from the States. It’s never been homegrown. And I really hope we can have a scene to call our own." Those are the words of one Gary Wang (aka DJ V-Nutz), local hip hop hustler and pusher. Wang, along with partner DJ Fortune, runs The Lab, a non-profit studio dedicated...
• Posted Killa Kela @ Volar on Friday to Shanghaiist
  Killa Kela hasn't been in town that long but, already, he's been getting around. And by 'around', we mean in the doing-lots-of-things sense, not in the slutty sense (unless any readers want to come forward and tell us otherwise...) Last Saturday saw the beatboxing bad boy open for the Infadels — a stellar show, complete with cowbell! — at Absolute House. On Sunday, he dropped in at The Lab — we didn't go, but reports...
