It’s been a long time since we’ve done this, but Jeremiah and I would like to host a blogger dinner in Beijing this coming Friday so we can all meet the faces behind the monikers and indulge in the usual intense conversations about life in general and China in particular.
I’m getting kind of tired of the same old restaurant and hope someone can suggest something new – preferably a place with great food, a private room and big tables. Peking duck on the menu would be nice but not essential. The plan is to meet at 7.30 for drinks, and to have dinner at 8.30.
Please confirm with me by email so I can send you the restaurant map and ensure we have enough seats. Thanks, and hope you can make it. I will keep this post at the top until Friday.

Hi Folks! I’m snowed in 10,000 miles away from Beijing,but I wish you all well and wish I could be there.
Since this is a bloggers event,I’d like to take this moment to again call attention to the enthusiastic response on Beijing Sounds to the discussion of Beijing Dialect and Culture. All who either participated,or mentioned it on many other blogs are to be commended.I am elated at the enthusiasm exhibited by the expats and former,and present,students toward the preservation of local speech and local culture in a Beijing context.I love the stuff,but the writers in the newspapers are absolutely right!If we don’t all work together to protect it…it will fade away. Cordially, Ken Grey
