VALENTINES DAY Happy Valentines Day! If you're still in need of last minute ideas, we counted out 9 different awesome Vday dinners for every budget. Here's that list. Or if you like us, tend to believe that Valentine's Day is nothing more but an over-commercialized holiday, why not give the day some true lovingful meaning and donate blood today? City Weekend has pointers for blood donating where and how.
Art: Take a Detour to the Moleskine gallery
Notebook and art lovers, take note: Esteemed Italian brand, Moleskine has approached a long list of creative types--world renowned artists, architects, film directors, graphic designers, illustrators, and writers--to decorate, draw and doodle on their notebooks. The collective result is a traveling art exhibition now showing on the ground floor of Bund 18.
Weekendist: Racy lingerie launch, Lions of Puxi, and the traveling Mao
It's going to be a sunny December weekend - all the better to be out and about! Definitely check out some of our live music suggestions at night, but just in case you’re feeling geeky/artsy/cultural during the day, we’ve outlined some of this weekend's coolest/quirkiest-sounding art exhibitions, fashion launches and community events that will keep you buzzing around town until Sunday evening.
Jue Festival starts today
Just one week in and 2009 has been largely dull, grey, and wet. Thankfully then, the good people at Split Works have put together a ten day long festival of art and music to warm our cockles - starting today. According to the organisers, Jue Festival is "an excuse to leave your hidey-hole and experience a punk show, an art installation, and everything in between", which sounds pretty good to us. The festival (which is also taking place in Beijing), will showcase some of Shanghai's best creative talent and is hosting a diverse set of artists and performers.
