Yen White baby! The year’s first Yen party happens this Friday.
What is Yen you ask?
I’m glad you did. Yen is the combination of Beijing’s best electronic DJs, a bomb-ass dance floor, delicious drinks mixed up by our trusty Lush staff, and typically some sort of theme to tie it all together.
So, get over to Lush, grab a ticket to Yen White, go find yourself something fashionable and white to where (match your friends for extra effect) and we’ll see you at Tango 3F this Friday night!
Read MoreShow those downtown folks what they’re missing! Vote for Lush!!
Each and every year for the last 7 years, the readers of Beijing’s biggest and best English language magazine nominate their favorite restaurants in Beijing across a few dozen categories. This year, Lush has been nominated for Best Burger and Best Late Night Dining, and we want to win!
How can you help you ask?
I’m glad you did! Navigate over to http://www.thebeijinger.com/2011RestaurantAwards/index.html and cast your votes! If you don’t have a favorite in every category, either vote for the name you like best or leave it blank and move on to the next category. I’m guessing it needs to be at least half filled for your vote to count, but again, that’s only a guess.
Also, don’t forget to vote for our new store Gung Ho! Pizza. They’ve been nominated for Best Pizza and Best New Restaurant, and we’d like to clean up with awards for both Lush and Gung Ho! Pizza. Thank you to all of you for your continued support and for counting us amongst the best restaurants in all of Beijing! You guys are the best!

Xin Nian Kuai Le! Gong Xi Fa Cai! (Hong Bao Na Lai!?) 新年快乐！恭喜发财 (红包拿来!?) Haha… Where’s my red envelope ninjas?!
So here we are in another year of the bunny. Hope you had your dumplings, lit off some of those firecrackers, and maybe did a paper cutting or two. We’ve had 9 days of fireworks, 4185027 quadrillion tons of fireworks an hour set off on average from what it sounds like outside my window, and I’m pretty sure that at current rates, China will have completely exhausted the worlds supply of gunpowder by 2027.
Lush and Pyro stayed open for reduced hours last week, so when people got those nasty midnight munchies, the popular delivery food of choice seems to have been regretful drunken phone calls made to McDonald’s at 2am, like so many drunk dial mistakes to that ex you keep telling everyone you were completely over.
It’s ok. Things are back to normal. Lush and Pyro are back to normal hours, and we’re all back to the grindstone, working on new awesome ways to party in style. Keep an eye out for Lush Rush news, the first Latin party of the year, and on Mr. Hefner’s birthday, a tantalizing Playboy bunny party to warm you up in April… and that’s just the next month or so.
Keep checkin’ in for news on the latest happenings in the Wu.
Read MoreYen Countdown! (Get your New Year on!!)
Word up ninjas, its the primo Beijing NYE Celebration 2010!
This Friday we’ll be ringing in the new year in classic Yentastic style at the Countdown Party in 798, specifically at the C-Park, D-Factory. As of this post, the standard 100rmb tickets are still available at Lush and on Clubzone.cn online, as well as a few scattered venues around town if you happen to be out and about, but don’t wait and get caught missing out on the best, last party of 2010 and the best first party of 2011.
If you’re like us, and you take your pre-gaming serious, bear in mind a couple crucial things!
- Getting your crew from homebase to venue always takes longer than you think, especially when trying to motivate people out of the warm booze filled room and into the cold taxi.
- Catching a cab – Oh yeah, Getting a cab in Beijing on a normal night is a nightmare enough, New Years Eve is way, way, way, way, way worse. Sinking in yet?
- Being stuck in a queue waiting to get in the door in the middle of a cold winter Beijing night sucks.
- Being stuck standing in a queue in the middle of a cold Beijing winter night on New Years Eve sucks WAY worse! Don’t be that sad, shivering person who procrastinated and is stuck desperately searching for a compatible cutie to kiss in the queue at midnight.
It never fails that too many people screw up the above and arrive en masse at 11:30pm hoping to rush in and get to the party, but clearing tickets and security for 1000 people in 30 minutes or less is impossible even at the highest tech airports with all the creepy xray scanners and staffing they could afford. Don’t be those people. Instead, follow our handy little checklist below:
- Grab a cab early (aim to arrive at the venue before 10:30 – the earlier the better)
- Plan for traffic (and remember, you’re going to 798, and cabs often aren’t super-familiar with that area)
- Bring a flier, map (there’s a map on the back of the ticket), and the English (156-5216-9887) or Chinese (136-8333-4144) number so one of our event managers can get you there safely and on time.
- Don’t forget your TICKETS!
- Arrive
- Queue
- Check your Coat
- Get your drink tickets
- Get your drinks
- Be on the dance floor before midnight
- Spot the hottie you’re gonna make out with…
- Ring in the new year in style!
See you there, its gonna be massive!
