On Friday night I made it out to the Tudou offices for their 3rd anniversary party, thanks to an invitation from Marc van der Chijs. The place was packed and going crazy when I arrived at 9:30, with a DJ (Missile Myles), dancers, black lights, drinks, wall painting... The party wound down by 11:00, at which point Joon and I realized that there was a secret party happening on the Tudou roof. We passed a bucketful of used 羊肉串 skewers and empty drink cans on our way up, where I chatted with Aether for a while before heading back home. It was a great night to be at Tudou, and it's always a pleasure to be walking the streets of Puxi at midnight. A few pictures:

"Maybe?"*


"Yes"


And of course a signature.

Leaving the office.

*I was going to Rickroll everybody with graffitied Rick Astley lyrics, but the party music was so loud I could barely hear myself think. I went with a simpler "Kilroy was here" theme.
