How U doin? Yeah? That¡'s awesome. That just awesome, dude. Hey, I know you like the Shanghai club gossip and it's a good week for that. Check it: Pegasus is reopening. Oh wait that's, PEGASUS IS REOPENING!!!! If you're an old Shanghai war horse, that¡¯s a big deal. I'm sure as soon as you read that you instantly flashed back to the good old days of Shanghai pre 2005, and then wistfully glanced over at your Shanghainese wife and the baby in her arms. And then let out a big siiiiiiggghhhh. You m.. ... show this edition

How U doing? I'm writing this from the sandy beaches of Sanya! Attached is a photo of me and my friends here on vacation. Jealous? Anyways it was a hellish flight down here but I made it in one piece. Your pal the admiral had to squeeze in a little two-seater that looked like it was on loan from Air Bosnia. And so it's a weekend away from Shangers for me, but that doesn't mean that I don't have my finger firmly on the pulse of what's happening back in SH. First, some rumour mongering: a little b.. ... show this edition

How U doing U fine young thing! Another weekend is upon us here in sunny Shangers, and all the pomp and frill associated with that. Bar openings? Is there any this week? Well first a little house keeping. LOgO bar is closed until May 8 -- they're just finishing up their renovations. They tell us Blue Frog on Tongren is closed for renovations as well, and word on the street is that Park 97 is slated for a large scale revamping, rebranding, and relaunching. That should be interesting to see wha.. ... show this edition

Hello there. How are you? An exciting week here at SmSh HQ with a lot of ups and downs. First the downs: the NAS concert was postponed due "to visa issues with his entourage." Does that mean like ... his massage therapist couldn't get into China so he said EFF it? Who knows. What it definitely means is that Nas will be in NYC or wherever when he should be killing it in Shangers on April 25. At any rate, organizers are real confident about rescheduling so we're looking forward to that one and kee.. ... show this edition

How U doing? Well this weekend is a .... WHOA ... did you hear THIS? The New Kids on the Block are getting back together. All of them. Even long-time holdout Danny! Just to bum you out a little bit and make you feel old, Joey is 35 years old now! He was the young one. The rest are in their 40s! Good lord. Time flies when you're a washed up boy band. Speaking of reforming boy bands, Union Music, is back in town! A little longer in the tooth but just as hungry. Gotta stay hungry. Union Music pl.. ... show this edition

Whoa man. Lots of good stuff happening this weekend. I'm real, real excited for it. I bet you're real, real excited for it like me. So, I dunno. Let's see. Huge bummer on the Dandi Wind show at The Shelter. Local gobernatorials decided to deploy an A-Bomb of wackness on it and stop the show. Was it because Bjork got all mental on China? How can this be? "Human Behaviour" was pretty good but what has she done for us lately? She's irrelevant man! She's about as interesting as an in-flight meal on .. ... show this edition

ow U doin? Me? Thanks for asking. I'm alright. ... A little hungover 'cause I went and had a sneak peak at the "new" Bar Rouge last night. How is it, you ask? Kinda the same I think. It's red. What did it look like before anyways? It was red wasn't it? Well the furniture is new, and now they have these red-velvet booth-like things as their main seating. They've also got mini-bar coffee tables for these booths, which come with built-in ice areas. It feels more open as well. Like ... more room to .. ... show this edition

How 'bout that Bjork huh? Oh, I guess that's old news. You hear Maroon 5 is comin'? Yikes, also old news¡­ Racks opening, The Wall opening, hmmm. All old news. What's been happening lately? Well the Bund is set to get a dose of Sugar! OMG! OMG! The corporate behemoth behind The Collection in Xintiandi announced last Wednesday at their Ladies Night that the Xintiandi hotspot will be expanding to a Bund location at 5 on the Bund. Event photographers are positively FROTHING at the prospect! Antic.. ... show this edition

How EWE doing! Another packed weekend of events, openings, drink deals, crowded dance floors, wackiness, drunkenness, good times, and lifelong regret! So let's suit up and ride shall we? But first, something from the rumour mill: word on the street is that a Hip Hop icon from New York will be performing in Shangers soon! He's known for his outspoken, self-empowered swagger that rallied the streets of his city and elsewhere, his provocative rhymes, his masterful flow, his feud with Jay Z , a st.. ... show this edition

How U doin'? Another day, another dollar--and every five days is a weekend to spend all these dollars! Innit? Well, last weekend saw two big openings with Racks and The Wall both settin' up shop in Shanghers. Weren't there? You didn't go to either of them? What were you doing? Well, don't worry. We've got you covered with the party pictures. Scroll down for those or stroll into either yourself this weekend to check 'em out!Well, well. What do we have here tonight then? Hmm.
