Winners - In his final night in Beijing, Faraz and Tongzhimen rocked the competition to win the bottle of Jack, and give him a great way to end his pub quiz career in Beijing. Following them, we had a menage a trois of a tie for 2nd place, which led to the absolute necessity for a girl on girl drink-off. Crushing the competition and winning the pitcher, Kidneys Come and Go got to fill their glasses from their free pitcher of Adios MF, and in an awesome show of tie-i-tude, I felt it absolutely necessary to give both Pink on the Brink and Southbound Pachyderm a bucket of Tsingdaos, courtesy of the awesome display of drinking from their representative ladies.

Such a great night! Great energy, awesome people, and a night of challenging quiz and liver-abusing drinking. Basically, all the components that make Weds nights in Wudaokou so memorable. For those of you that came down to Pyro afterward, you were treated to some awesome DJ-ing by our resident musical expert Juan, and a bunch of you helped me and Rich trial half a dozen new shots so I can update the shot list in Pyro this week. Good times for sure! Nothing like some cheap drinks, tequila shots, and some free alcohol to get the booty shakin and the body movin. I can’t wait for Lush Rush! Stay tuned for more information regarding what will likely be one of your favorite experiences in Beijing, because Lush Rush is just that good!
