Shanghai Nighlife
Partilho as palavras do sabio "da Admiral" como foram escritas na newsletter desta semana...
"Hey Shanghai,
This week's newsletter goes out to my DVD lady, who not even one day after being told to shut shop by the filth, opened right up again and ripped me off on a shite copy of Hellboy II.
That's the kind of tenacity that's going to make this the century of China.
And while we're at it then, this newsletter goes out to all business persons - small business owners, musicians, concert promoters, bootleggers, DJs, whomever - that will be adversely affected by the Olympic and Olympics-related crap. Tongren Lu, I'm looking in your direction.
Stay the course friends, it can't go on forever.
I must say I originally found the prospect of all my ass-dragging, no-job having, F-visa, DJ friends being forced to leave China quite amusing. Well, dear reader, I formerly eat my words - Shanghai is boring without the wasters. Parties are going unattended, nobody is formulating any fantastically awful get-rich-quick schemes, there's scarcely an esoteric DJ genre weekday event to go to, and if I have to go to one more "going-away teppanyaki" party, I'm going to take a flame thrower to this place.
Where's the logic in kicking all those good people out but letting Linkin Park back IN for an October concert! It just doesn't make any sense to me. Even Chinese dudes are like, "Linkin Park? What? Still?"
So what's going on this weekend? Nothing, man. Nothing. Friday night you're staying in and getting drunk and playing Guitar Hero with your two remaining friends or you're looking for jobs in Vietnam on Monster.com. Or I guess you could go to Bonbon to see Vicarious Bliss, Muse to smell some music, or the next LAN party.
Saturday night you're looking for your old school transcripts and seeing if you can get back into university. Maybe do an MBA or a Master's or some shit. Then you're calling your parents to see if they will loan you money for tuition, a plane ticket out of Shanghai, and their basement for the next couple years.
Then you're popping open a bottle of wine, sitting on your balcony, and devising a way to bring tech-house to North Korea. Or I guess you could go to the S.T.D. party at Windows Underground (live music roundup here), Le Party at Anar, The Shelter, or Sky bar's opening thing.
Anyways, whatever you get up to, you have yourself a good one, Shangers.
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, crack you up and pimp smack you up,
Da Admiral"

Ao Telefone...
-Wei Ni hao?
-Hi, heeuh.. Is this Luis? (un-recognizable voice)
-Yes, this is him.
-Luis from Jian Guo Xi Lu?
-I'm sorry?
-This is Luis?
-Yes, to whom am I speaking?
(provavelmente this, who's this?, mas prefiro a versao mais academica)
-I'm Locked in the house!!
-You are what?
-I'm locked in the House, I don't have the keys and I can't get out!!!
-In the house? That is definately a problem, but what house?
-heuh... the house on Jian Guo Xi lu.. I am trying to call my room mate, Luis...
-Ha!, I see... That is surely a problem... And I do have room mates but I live on XiZang Xi lu, so I don't think I can be of much assistance
-(muted voice) wow, this is embarassing.. (regular voice) I must have dialled the wrong Luis then... I'm sorry. bye
-Good luck "getting out"!!
Isto marcou o inicio de uma estranha manha...

Blogspot is back....
Continua a mesma camisola "por pendurar" em cima da cadeira do quarto - Amanha eh capaz de ficar frio, nao vale a pena voltar a dobra-la porque vou ter de usa-la, penso eu, sempre que chega a voz "estah na hora de dares um toque de arrumacao neste quarto; aposto que ainda te surpreenderas com o que davas como perdido..."
Foi desta que lhe dei ouvidos e arregacei as mangas...
Mapas de lugares e sitios em tempos desconhecidos tornados familiares; recibos de taxas imaginadas pelas autoridades chinesas; vistos, carimbos e autorizacoes multiplas; fotografias de amizades intemporais criadas num apice regadas a cerveja importada; por baixo de tudo isto um blog...
A pedidos de certas e determinadas pessoas, parece que vai sobreviver a limpeza de verao...
Chopsoydevaca is back...
