'Punc camp

So if you search Yahoo images for "acupuncture" and "camp" you get the following cartoon. But if you add "bejing" as a metatag you get a much different picture: something like 300 hundred partiers grooving to phat house beats courtesy of some very impish local DJs--Terry Tu, Huang Weiwei, Pancake "Don't Pancake me" Lee and the rest of the krew. That was the scene at the Club Camp opening last Friday which was revved up by Beijing's very own Acupuncture Records. The new space is actually more restaurant than club, and has taken over the space formerly occupied by a hot pot joint on the sixth floor above Cocobanana. "Enjoy it,"I told my man The Archbishop of Canterbury, "because you'll never see this many people in here ever again." Which is true. The Acupuncture guys could fill the Merlin Champagne Gardens complex in Shunyi with partiers, they have that much traction in the local party scene. Everyone was there, Ai Wan (former China Doll impresario) was on the dance floor and later it turned out that even Ben Mono had made an appearance prior to his gig at The Bank the following night. Even Tom and Mickey from White Rabbit showed up around 3, prompting me to rethink that plan to hit WR on the way home. The only people who didn't show was the house band from VIVI across the street which was also opening that night. Maybe they should have hired Meow Wong to do their publicity.

hahaha, that was a metaphor, my good man. But the "acupuncture" and "camp" search is valid.

I can vouch for that. I saw the graphic novel panel in results. Carry on wayward son...

actually the party turned out so great we are thinking about making camp an Acupuncture tradition.

there won't be any pressure like running a club event, we can rent the best sound system, manage the bar the way we like, no need to deal with stupid people randomly ran into the party...

it's going to be like, pack up the dining tables and shut the door, it's now a party camp and i am going to "Meow"~
