Hello,
I know the party start at 9 but what time does LTJ start Djing?

Great list Marla, thanks! I will definitely share this with friends coming to Beijing.

i can't believe these guys are coming here.

maybe because nobody in the states want to see them. we've listened to them for 40 years.

in the states, their music is so overplayed that it made me sick to hear any of their tunes.

even if i won a free pair of tickets. you could not pay me to go see them.

if i had the tickets I would give them away. worthless

A Tale of Two Cities

Witless Bei Da student Josh Lyman is having the time of his life, dividing much of his days between vomiting weakly outside Sanlitun’s Pure Girl No 1 and regaling sickened classmates with tales of sexual escapades in Wudaokou’s Lush.

Meanwhile, across town, orphaned migrant worker Lin Fat fends off the unwanted predations of her restaurant-manager boss and serves up a standard bowl of noodles at the Charismatic Noodle House, Fengtai district as she struggles to make ends meet to pay for her younger brother’s education in an unlicensed kindergarten.

With the school facing demolition, Lin is in despair – when a lost and somewhat hungover Lyman takes up a table at the Charismatic and demands some hot broth to mop up the alcohol. Two utterly different people – one totally unique city – but can the two strangers cross their cultural divides and redeem each other… or will Lyman make a crude pass at the waitress before meeting up with his equally charmless bros at Propaganda?

Money by Mah Ting Amis

The defining novel of China's 21st Century

Jing Self – oafish, barely literate son of a Sha’anxi Baiju distillery owner – has emerged in the glittering, smoggy spires of Beijing with two things: a bought-and-paid-off degree in filmmaking from Tsinghua Univeristy and a rapacious sense of entitlement.

His godawful career in television advertising for a toxic breast-enlargement product has won him money, acclaim and a front-row pass at the annual Chunwan gala – but it’s not enough.

When he meets Fielding Goodney, an opportunistic US businessman on his uppers looking to suck up as much RMB as he can, it’s a match made in Guomao.

But can Self contain his appetite for ketamine, KTV girls and golf long enough to marry and produce the heir his father’s allowance is conditional upon – or will Goodney’s offer of a Green Card prove too much for the unfilial fool?

I've tried their beans, and it's a very poor quality for their price range. Stay away. They also have honey and my mate got the runs from it, at50yuan a bottle it should be great, not give you diarrhea.
