Mural Painting

paint on walls party

While the Harvard Din and Tonics were performing at a bar called “Mural,” we were creating our own collaborative mural in an aggregation of warehouses by the Suzhou creek. The Chinese-based web company Too Dou threw a party to inaugurate their new office space. They provided music, food, drinks, and paint. There were brushes and bottles as well as cans of spray paint. Shi Shu Yi gave me the heads-up on the party, and met Sam and I as we were eating lotus seeds to take us to the party. Lotus seeds, incidentally, are not as delicious or exotic as they may sound. They taste a lot like I imagine acorns would.

We met Marc van der Chijs, one of the founders of toodou, as well as some of Shi Shu Yi’s friends and the fabulous East-Asianist Christine Tsang.
