WEEK IN REVIEW: The Beijing Bang party preview

Beijing Ultimate had its Wednesday pickup at Guomao per usual and, of course, spring league on Sunday (which we've discussed and will not again). This has been a somewhat quiet week and may be a quieter weekend, with Alicia and Lauren in Xian, Doc in Japan, Sandy in Boracay and at least a couple of the guys tethered to girlfriends. Even still, the community's holding a party.

Booyah.

From Beijing Bang's message board:

Dear BJ Ultimate Community,

PART 3: Gang Pub Crawl - 黑市帮逛酒吧街

After cleaning out the beer supply of the restaurant the entire Gang can then proceed to dazzle and drink their way through Beijing's pubs, bars, and clubs. If you are lucky you may see Tina take Shen out again, Joe breaking some glass, or any number of things that we have come to expect from BJ Ultimate Community events.
喝完啤酒,我们一大帮人就要去逛北京的酒吧了。相信你一定会看到很多北京飞盘社区别具特点的搞笑场面。

We hope you can all come out and join the fun and look forward to hearing from you.
希望大家都能来玩儿。

See you Saturday.星期六见。


This part is worth highlighting and rereading:

Saints in the Boondocks; Underground Hong Kong; Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, and HBO’s Sopranos. Mafia, deck of cards; Triads in the Mainland; Yakuza in Japan. Set trippin’ gangstas; caps in yo a**; Drinking booze; Battle caps; Dressed in black; Dinner with the Bangstas. Dress to kill, it’ll be a thrill; No excuse; It’s an offer you can’t refuse; or Six feet under, it’s up to you.

Not the GOOGLE GROUPS POST OF THE WEEK though:

Tao, responding to a thread, on Evil:

"A man's at odds to know his mind cause his mind is aught he has to know it with. He can know his heart, but he dont want to. Rightly so. Best not to look in there. It aint the heart of a creature that is bound in the way that God has set for it. You can find meanness in the least of creatures, but when God made man the devil was at his elbow. A creature that can do anything. Make a machine. And a machine to make the machine. And evil that can run itself a thousand years, no need to tend it. You believe that?

"I dont know.

"Believe that."

--Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian

You look inside the depressed chest of Doc and Jim and Betsy and all those piteously deceived ensnared in Team Evil's web of Iniquity and see a blackened gourd amid a depraved hollow, Argus-eyed Sinister perched in its sulphurous Aerie, ready to molt char and ash to lay bare the face of Evil itself upon our unsuspecting world, stippling the sky with drops of antic blood and fire. The face that descends upon you, like the succubus, is symmetrical and seductive, and wholly evil. If you must look, do not be charmed. Tie yourself to the mast. This is your warning. Evil shall not and will not prevail. Believe that.

Love,

All That is Good in the World
