This is a casual gathering… If you wanna take a break from your busy schedule, then join me and friends at Brown Sugar in Xintiandi.

No fees. Pay for your own drinks.
Relax, enjoy the music and make some new friends!

Show time starts 9:30. I’ll be there from 8:30. You can come earlier and chat if you wish. Ring me up when you get there.

Brown Sugar’s address is 上海新天地北里广场 太仓路181弄15号楼.

We’re planning our first event for early March and it’ll be a weekday social mixer. At the moment we’re selecting a venue. Please stay tuned!

Initially I was debating if I’d use Ning.com to create a social network much like ShanghaiStuff.com or Shanghai Fun but in the end I decided that it wasn’t necessary because I don’t need people to blog or post pictures here and I will use Facebook and a Chinese SNS (to be determined) to promote YUP Shanghai anyway. So why set up our own online social network and carry the burden to have to grow it from zero?

I am thinking, however, to install a BBS later to post more Shanghai-related information there and to allow member interaction. And I’d keep only YUP Shanghai related information on the main blog (here). Anyway, once the BBS goes up, I hope you guys will actually use it!

Happy “Niu” Year, everyone! It’s the beginning of a new Chinese year and YUP Shanghai is getting ready for an exciting year. 2009 looks like it’ll be a tough year for many people, but that’s more reason why we need fun and interesting social and business events. Stay tuned!
