Dept. GSL! Undercover Reporting Team
Operation: Tiger Beer/ Dazed and Confused Chinese New Year Party
Location: China Town, London
Last night some of the GSL! team headed down to China Town for the Tiger Beer and Dazed & Confused magazines Chinese new year party. The year of the Tiger fast approaching it was the popular beer brands greatest marketing tool... and it might have just worked!
We headed first to Chuen Cheung Ku for the Photography Exhibition, grabbed a few bottles of free Tiger on the way in and set about to admire. The work on show was a mix of high art and Lo-Fi candid snap-shots. There was a slightly British feeling in the work but with an overlying sense of Asia, a nice contrast to a lot of the drab and somewhat lazy style that has become tied to the 'trendy' and fashionable London scene. It was a good, interesting exhibition but not enough to hold us there for too long, so it was time to continue.
We left to go to the Art Exhibition on Gerrard St. but annoyingly it was full, so off we set back to the Photos. The room was packed by the time we got back and the food had been put out for everybody to cull their vulturous tendencies with. So we attempted to get near the food and then continued to watch all the Dazed characters go by.
The final port-of-call was New World, where they were hosting the live music and of course the party proper. With White on the mixer playing some classics and more food and Tiger beer being handed round we mingled, chatted, and filled ourselves with all the free things we could before bloat-idly heading back to our final resting places... Bed! That did unfortunately mean missing the legendary Howie B, but when you've eaten as much Chinese food as we did then you'd understand!
Over and Out
