Lots of boozy goings on this weekend. Here is one more to remind you of. Tomorrow, Bubba's BBQ in the Expo Village hosts its 2nd Annual BBQ Cook-Off. Chefs, restaurateurs, and amateur grill enthusiasts alike will be going head to head to see who's got the best grill skills in Shanghai. 100rmb gets you in the gate, and before you even get started tasting they'll put a shot of Jaeger or a beer in your hand. Festivities last from 11am to 5pm. Word to the wise: If you want to eat, get their early. Offerings get picked over pretty quickly.

Today is International Museum Day and all over the world this weekend museums that usually charge entry are waving it or cutting their ticket prices. In Shanghai, a bunch of sites will be free from today until Sunday, and others are offering cheap entry or organizing special events.
More than 90 museums are taking part in the city, including the China Maritime Museum, the Animation Museum, the Jewish Refugees Museum and the the China Tobacco Museum, which will all be free over the weekend. The stunning Shanghai Museum of Glass is free, but only today.
The Science and Technology Museum is half-price all weekend. Over in the Expo site, the Saudi Arabia Pavilion, the Italy Pavilion and the Memorial Exhibition are all half price tomorrow.

If you didn't bother to click on our interview with Enoterra's Pierre Monie, that's cool. No, really. Don't worry about it. But, you did so at your own peril. You missed one crucial detail: the availability of obscene amounts of alcohol for only 200 kuai. Tonight, both branches of Enoterra, Anfu and Taicang Lu, are celebrating the wine bar's fifth anniversary. 200rmb gets you in the door, and from then on you can drink all the wine you care to drink pretty much all night. Starts 6pm. More details here and here.
Meanwhile, out on Pudong's suburban fringe, Haiku's newest branch is celebrating its grand opening tonight. 150rmb gets you unlimited sake, cocktails, sushi rolls, and all kinds of nnn-tttss nnn-tttss nnn-tttss action from DJs Studz and Sao. More details on that right here.
So. There you go. Now. Let's get pissed!!!!

Addison Groove, doyenne of the juke and dubsteb scene, has cancelled his Shelter date next weekend. He was due to play a live set at SubCulture's party on May 23. This, from Mr SubCulture:
"It is with great regret that we have to announce that Addison Groove will be unable to make it to China next week. Having toured around the USA for the last 3 weeks he has ran into some passport issues and isn’t going to be able to travel for the next few weeks, thus not be able to make it to China next week. We are very sorry to everyone who was excited to see Addison Groove’s live set, believe me no one is as disappointed as we are, but this situation was totally out of our hands and we have done everything to try and solve the problem but have come to a point where nothing can be done.
SubCulture are lining up another date for Addison Groove. Next Saturday, they still have Lucky Me Collective’s Claude Speed in town, so it remains a night of large sounds. That's also the China launch party for the Outlook festival, which happens in Croatia, but you can find out about that next weekend.
