LUMDIMSUM'S TOP 5 PICKS

A WHALE! of a Good Time

When I didn’t think it could get any better, WHALE!‘s second event this past Friday, January 28 proved me wrong.

Once again, I was bouncing around on the dance floor till the wee hours of the night and waking up in the morning thinking, “last night was the best party I’ve been to since, well…the first WHALE! night.”

This is not the tequila talking and it’s not just me. Everyone who went to WHALE! Friday night had a blast and anyone who missed out felt left out asking when’s the next one.

I can’t quite pinpoint exactly what it is that sets WHALE!’s apart from every other night in Beijing.  They don’t even try to promote the event and yet, hundreds turn up for a massively successful turnout each time and the combination of good music, good people and good vibes just seems to fill a hole in Beijing.

Random is rarely done successfully (especially in Beijing), but with WHALE!, it just comes naturally.  When I say that the music is random and the people who turn up are random, I’m talking the best possible kind of random - the kind of random that most people couldn’t get even if they tried.  The kind of random that’s beyond logic and reason. In fact, it’s brilliant and WHALE!’s got it like a fat kid loves cake.

Shout out to WHALE!’s musically gifted DJ’s: Assassin Eyes, Bobby Dropper, Infinite Mana and Lord Cheeses.

Keep it up WHALE! cause Beijingers are loving all 200 tons of you!

    such a cool night i agree and that guy DJing in the pics was great and cute but gave up all hope when i saw him dancing later in the night

  2. 2 Bobby Dropper said at 5:57 PM on March 9th, 2011:

    Thanks for your kind words “Sharon” (if that IS your real name).

    I would like to correct you on one point though: Bobby Dropper does not dance. You must have me confused for another 7 foot heffalump making a fool of himself.

    Dropper out.

  3. 3 LumDimSum said at 8:56 PM on March 9th, 2011:

    @Sharon: In case you haven’t lost all hope, Bobby Dropper will be at it again soon enough with the next WHALE! party officially set for Friday, March 25.
    Beijingers – mark your calendars and save the date!
