Party Heart-ey

Sichuan Earthquake Charity Events in Shanghai
Wed May 14th 2008 by Morgan



Shanghai is reacting in a very Shanghai way to the tragedy of the Sichuan Earthquake -- throwing a bunch of parties. Promoters and venues are putting together events to get the clubbers out putting their drinking money to good use. And what's wrong with that? Hey, you were probably going to get lit up this weekend anyways -- you might as well get lit up for a good cause.

Mural Bar is hosting an assortment of locally-based talent -- Missile Miles, Skinny Babou, and the DJ with the biggest and sexiest heart, DJ Sexy Paul -- this Saturday. They are joined by live Peruvian band "Jingo." Now the cover for that is 50rmb, all of which is going to a charity organization supporting the victims of the earthquake. And you get two free drinks on entry. Also, if you'd like to give more, a donation box will be available to accept your contributions.

Danish Fashion Boutique Opens on Taikang Lu

The Danes aren't particularly well known for producing top fashion labels. In fact, I would put good money that you couldn't name me two -- let alone five -- fashion brands. However, CPH, a new Danish clothing boutique, is looking to put Danish fashi.. [read on...]

Night On Earth at MoCA

Exhibition Preview & After-Party at MoCA this Friday - Tue May 13th

Jay Mark - This Friday, "Night On Earth" exhibition opens at MoCA, and there's more than cheese and crackers: five electronic music acts and 2 VJs will perform at "Art Lab," MoCA's new alternative art space. Night On Earth is a three-part exhibition touring Berlin, Shanghai, and Helsinki. The exhibition is named after the Jim Jarmusch movie that follows five cabbies in five cities around the world on one crazy night. For their Shanghai stop, Asian and European artists thread together the urban cultures of three cities in one crazy exhibition. ... more on Night on Earth here

The Poetics of Simplicity

Even in its simplest forms, poetry has always been for the elite - Mon May 12th

Melanie - With his new-age E.V.A. hanger (pictured after the jump), Korean designer Ha Jihoon addresses the perennial question, "where to toss the coat and keys after work?" Entrepreneurs and innovation hopefuls have spent decades tackling this conundrum with electronic remotes, fluted coat racks, and the ever-ineffectual closet. Morning after morning we find our coats rumpled on a couch and our keys missing altogether. So maybe this is not the biggest problem the world ever faced, but it's one worth solving. ... more on Ha's design exhibition here

Melanie - Leo Tolstoy once said, "Every unhappy family is unhappy in it's own way." In Tony Ayres' Home Song Stories (2007), we are given a family that is unhappy in every conceivable way. The story is Chinese-Australian writer/director Ayres' thinly veiled autobiography -- the writing of which of is his attempt to come to terms his mother Rose's (played by the always dynamic Joan Chen) destructive lifestyle and choices. ... more on Home Song Stories here

A few places to take your mother, the favorite woman in my life - Fri May 9th

Morgan - This Sunday is Mother's Day, and I can't stop thinking about your mother -- all day and all night long I'm thinking about your mother -- so here is a quick run down of places having Mother's Day brunches and specials. Just in case your mum is actually in town and she's not out with me at Jean Georges or something. I'll probably just be meeting up with her later at The Shelter or something. Boh, snap! ... more places I'd like to take your mum here
