So like the weather nuts predicted, Shanghai was rained out on the Eclipse. That didn't stop most of us from venturing out of our homes to try and catch a glimpse of the disappearing sun through the foggy, cloudy skies though. While this Shanghaiist editor, stuck in rainy Xintiandi thanks to an address mix up, didn't get to see much, thankfully the internet is here to the rescue!

So even if weather forecasts aren't the most promising for tomorrow's solar eclipse, we'll still be at various Coffee Bean & Tea Leafs around the city chatting about the weather and keeping an eye on the sun. Well, not directly on the sun. Assuming the rains let up enough for us to actually watch the eclipse happen, here's some safety tips courtesy of Parkway Health:

The days are counting down to the Shanghai solar eclipse and we're all excited for our 6 minutes or so of morning darkness. While weather forecasts aren't exactly the most promising, it's still a momentous occasion that last happened three hundred years ago and do you really want to tell people all you did was mutter sadly to yourself in an office?

So if last weekend was all about local bands for local people, this weekend is dominated by wai di ren. Whether it's "ghost punks" from some little hamlet in the US of A, northern monkeys from the capital or a band from the harmonious region of Xinjiang, there's a distinct outsider flavour to the next couple of days.

You didn't think we were just going to let a once-in-hundred-something-years event pass by without doing something about it, did you? Ha! It's like you don't even know us.

Say what you will about celebs talking politics, but perhaps, this is Jackie Chan at his best - wearing his Greennovate Green T-shirt and looking sweet as a little kitten. And come on, who didn't enjoy the bathtub scene in Shanghai Noon with Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan drinking baiju and wearing nothing but bubbles? That almost makes it okay that he thinks Chinese people need to be controlled... right?

As we feel frankly uncomfortable in anything else, Shanghaiist frequently rocks the t-shirt and jeans look. Classic. To that end, eno is one of our favourite shops to head to — with a great range of creative and oh-so-cool clothing, including designs by some of our favourite bands and musicians. So, when they say they're throwing a party we're naturally interested. When they say there'll be live music we get pretty excited. And when they say there'll be free beer and snacks, well... then we have to take a cold shower and sit down for a while.

It's been a while, but this Sunday will see a welcome return for the PAUSE collective, who will be bringing their heady mix of independent art, music, and creative stalls to everyone's favourite ex-Blue Ice hang out, The Shelter. Kicking off at 4pm down on Yong Fu Lu, there will be a bunch of inventive things to get excited about, featuring contributors from across the globe and, of course, the cream of Shanghai's arts scene.
