Hip hop is getting righteous as Liquid Lifestyle Promotions invites you to the V-Day Afterparty at Luxy. V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women, with the highlight being two performances of Eve Ensler's Vagina Monologues (see page 13). A portion of proceeds from the afterparty will be donated to V-Day's benefeciary charities: Taiwan Women's Link, the Women's Rescue Foundation of Taipei, and End Children Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes. The organizers are saying, "Come party for a good cause, to hip hop and R&B tracks expertly spun by DJs Pro and Penetration." Door damage is NT$800 and includes one drink.
For further fun with Lifestyle get with the 3P party, said to the biggest ladies' night party in all of Asia, on Wednesday. "The night features a contest where we hook one man and two women up on a 3P (threesome) and provide them with a fully stocked stretch limosine for five hours to go wherever they want," organizers said.

"Sounds pretty good," Kaiteiri says, "But of course there is a catch ... we can't pay you, but we are offering your airfares and hotel while you perform here."

This Saturday at the Source is a "Pump Up with Jam Sessions" party put on by Megan and JR, who are celebra-ting a year in Taiwan. Saucey will also be plying the decks, while Marcus Aurelius and J-Ro will be setting the hip hop floor alight. It's NT$500 for all you can drink. The Source is at 1, Roosevelt Road, Sec 1, Taipei (
Finally, check out an event at Taipei Cinema Park tomorrow that has DJ Noodle spinning from 2pm to 3:30pm, followed by techno DJ Elvis and a Campo catwalk show. It's all fairly easy-going stuff -- with bands and underground movies. It goes on until 10pm, at 19, Kangding Rd, Taipei (
Yesterday, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) nominated legislator Puma Shen (沈伯洋) as their Taipei mayoral candidate, the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) put their stamp of approval on Wei Ping-cheng (魏平政) as their candidate for Changhua County commissioner and former legislator Tsai Pi-ru (蔡壁如) of the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) has begun the process to also run in Changhua, though she has not yet been formally nominated. All three news items are bizarre. The DPP has struggled with settling on a Taipei nominee. The only candidate who declared interest was Enoch Wu (吳怡農), but the party seemed determined to nominate anyone
In a sudden move last week, opposition lawmakers of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) passed a NT$780 billion special defense budget as a preemptive measure to stop either Chinese leader Xi Jinping (習近平) or US President Donald Trump from blocking US arms sales to Taiwan at their summit in Beijing, said KMT heavyweight Jaw Shaw-kong (趙少康), speaking to the Taipei Foreign Correspondents Club on Wednesday night in Taipei. The 76-year-old Jaw, a political talk show host who ran as the KMT’s vice presidential candidate in 2024, says that he personally brokered the deal to resolve
What government project has expropriated the most land in Taiwan? According to local media reports, it is the Taoyuan Aerotropolis, eating 2,500 hectares of land in its first phase, with more to come. Forty thousand people are expected to be displaced by the project. Naturally that enormous land grab is generating powerful pushback. Last week Chen Chien-ho (陳健和), a local resident of Jhuwei Borough (竹圍) in Taoyuan City’s Dayuan District (大園) filed a petition for constitutional review of the project after losing his case at the Taipei Administrative Court. The Administrative Court found in favor of nine other local landowners, but
The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT), alongside their smaller allies the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), are often accused of acting on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Some go so far as to call them “traitors.” It is not hard to see why. They regularly pass legislation to stymie the normal functioning of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) administration, and they have yet to pass this year’s annual budget. They slashed key elements of the government’s proposed NT$1.25 trillion (US$40 billion) special military budget, and in the smaller NT$780 billion package they did pass, it is riddled with provisions that
