October means two things in Beijing: National Holiday and Halloween. If you haven’t planned your vacation then fear not. We’ve got holiday plans aplenty, whatever your budget. Plus we have the lowdown on where to spend your evening of trick or treating in the October issue of the Beijinger.
Music is back on the menu this month after the recent dearth of live bands. Linkin Park (Oct 19), Avril Lavigne (Oct 6) and Kanye West (Nov 1) all roll into town to delight you with their aural offerings. We’ve got tickets to give away for both Linkin Park and Kanye West if you check out Trivia Travails. You can also find out what Avril has planned for the last stop of her six-city China tour in our interview.
The musical fun doesn’t stop there. We’ve got all you need to know on the Modern Sky, Midi , NOTCH08, World Folk Song and Beijing Music festivals. Yet more October festivals are highlighted, including the Shakespeare festival and Nordic Film Fest in this cultural feast of a month.
Even more free ticket giveaways for October as another wonderful season of basketball begins in Beijing. To kick off their 2008-2009 schedules, the Golden State Warriors and Milwaukee Bucks (sans Yi Jianlian, recently traded to the New Jersey Nets) will be playing an exhibition game in Beijing on Oct 18. Get your exclusive tickets to see Beijing’s own Joe “Vanilla Sky” Alexander by staying tuned to www.thebeijinger.com. Booyah!
