Deep down inside, I am actually a homebody with a penchant for literature who likes to lounge about her apartment barefoot and in an old t-shirt. But when Beijing asks me out for a dance, it's terribly difficult to say no.

Greetings. Given that you seem to have your stuff together as far as electronic music is concerned, I was wondering if you knew where to find a more or less complete listing of events to come in Beijing. I have a bit difficulty finding such information, even here at CW. Thanks a heap, also for correcting my psy-trance referance ;-]
