A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

Open mic: A weekly TUN up

I realize the city has several “open mic” nights about town, but for those in the Sanlitun / Workers Stadium area, the one at TUN is worth checking out. It starts at 9:30 PM each Tuesday and features a two-for-one deal on most beers and regular mixed drinks as well as entertainment from regulars like Rob, John, Ian, and Tavey, Bad Apples singer Michael, and occasional performers like – last night – Gordon doing Vanilla Ice and Tracy doing what we’ll call an exotic dance.

A good vibe and a good crowd on the three nights I attended.

And rumor has it manager Chad Lager will soon join the action by doing spoken word hair band songs from the eighties, with Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ and Motley Crue’s “Girls, Girls, Girls” among the likely first picks. I say go for the Crue:

Crazy Horse, Paris, France
Forget the names, remember romance

Without the electric guitars, it is sheer poetry…
