Hi handsome guy

hello, cynthiamusa10@yahoo.com My name is cynthia,I saw your profile today and became interested in you i would like you to contact me with my email address: cynthiamusa10@yahoo.com so that i will give you more of my details and my photos. cynthia

kind of offended by what you said in the mag. about duncanshuansmith and fatburger. old and trusted reviewer? being in china the longest probably means he has forgotten what good quality western food is, and it certainly doesn't make him an authority. and taking a look at his profile pic and his physique, he doesn't look like the type to have a real discerning or finicky palate. just saying, that old men aren't always the best judge, and you should give each reviewer their credit and respect and take their review for value.

hey there
Hi Blake,
May I have your email, I would like to email the cover of my new book about China.
Cheers,
Gustavo

sorry - did anyone win? got mixed up between who won and did anyone win!!!

Hey Blake
Did anyone won the tickets for the DJ A-Inc at Club Lantern contest? Or was it a hoax?
cheers v

hey mate , here is a more up to date biog of Super Milkmen, the one posted is incorrect , thanks
Super MilkMen have played with everyone from Calvin Harris to Rusko and SubFocus! they mix up decks, midi controllers and laptops to create something for the crowd to go crazy to. They play bassline electro, dirty techno and fidget house but mix it up with old, new, commercial, underground, dubstep, hip-hop and anything else they can throw in the mix for good measure. You cannot help to find yourself dancing, waving your arms in the air, stamping your feet and shaking your behind. Recently they have remixed the classic track 'My Dick' by Mickey Avalon which reached Number 1 on the Hype Machine Popular Plays Chart. They are also working on remixes for Killa Kela, Bashy, Crystal Fighters, Alan Braxe, Alison Limerick and SubSource whilst also working on original material for their own E.P out on Itunes in September.

Blake, A manager/agent friend of mine is looking into bringing the band to China. He will be traveling there in the early fall. I want to spread the word about Very Emergency in the major cities. Get a buzz going a bit for the Agent/Promoters to see. How did you wind up in Beijing? Dave

Blake-Stone Banks, Help a Lexington Kentucky band in Beijing! http://www.myspace.com/jdcmusicgroup ;) Dave

Hi this is milkdj, just wondering exactly what i won from caption the moment and how will i get that prize?

ahhhhhhh, I'm so torn. I had no idea the A.V. Club wrote this (I'm a classic Onion Reader, and would have never wrote this had I known), but knowing that I'm hot on their tail (well, a week behind) definitely let me know I was on the right track w/ this story. And, honestly, that single isn't bad.

hey stonebanks!I just went to the club yugong yishang but it was a kind of techno night there. can u tell me when hiphop is going on in this club?on 12th february is a bboy event im looking forward to it ;) bye

Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. enjoy your days in beijing .my friend.

Hello Stonebanks!
My name is Hattie an art gallery in Hong Kong. Our gallery is recently opened in Beijing Cao Changdi. The grand opening is Dec 6 and I would you like to send you further info. I checked out the listing section in this site and the magazine and wondered if we could be listed.
Thanks, Hattie email: hattie@ora-ora.com

Feeling bored, tired or stressed out?
READ.
Get your books without hassle and without worrying how to stack them.
The Roving Book Club is an online based book club which rents out and delivers (for free) English books to its members.
We cater to the needs of expats who find it difficult and somewhat pricey to purchase original English books in Beijing and even find it more difficult to bring or get rid of those books when they go back to their own countries.
So, why buy if you can rent and have your books delivered on your doorstep?
We have a wide selection of English books and also cheap membership plans. Check out http://therovingbookclub.webnode.com for further details.
HAVE A GOOD DAY!
