It’s that time of year – HALLOWIZZLE!!
I guess the big question is: what to wear? who to be? (I anticipate a lot of Michael Jackson impersonators) …but most importantly: WHERE to go?
Coming from UCSB, the school most famous for its massive Halloween parties with over 10,000 out-of-town visitors each year, I was pleasantly surprised to find Beijingers to be just as festive in celebrating this holiday filled with mischief, imagination, creative costumes, darkness and sinfully good treats. (who doesn’t love mini candy Halloween treats?)
So what’s good this year? We’ve got a pretty hefty line-up of events for whatever kind of mischief you plan to get yourself into whether you’re into winning some big bucks or you like the idea of theme parks and haunted houses or freaky fetishes, you’ve got your fair share of places to choose from.
Top 6 Haunting Hot Spots for Halloween 2009:
1. Bling’s Cash Money Halloween Bash: RMB 5,000 Cold, Hard CASH goes to the most innovative, creative costume. Bring your friends to increase your chances of winning! Free Entrance.
2. Yen Fetish 2009 – In an all white warehouse space in 798, the annual YEN Fetish is at it again. Featuring DJ Blackie, DJ Micky Zhang, & Yang Bing. For those with freaky fetishes! (first year in Beijing, I went to YEN Fetish and never saw so many head to toe leather suits – think gimp suit from movie Pulp Fiction)
3. Time Out Halloween Party @ Happy Valley Amusement Park 7pm-Midnight, RMB 60 with 6RMB beers and free rides until 10pm…+ DJ’s (Blackie, El-Mar & Simon Adams). Beer + Roller Coasters + DJ’s = Random Fun
