It’s that time of year again. The time when we can relax, kick back, daydream and allow ourselves to fantasise. Nobody cares about work in the holiday season; that will come back like a bad dream anyway, whether we like it or not.
Actually, we can go beyond that; for any of us who have quietly wanted to be shriekingly obvious this is the weekend when we can make our dreams come to life; hiding in plain sight, dressed to attract attention and for once proud of it.
Yes, this is the Red Dress Run weekend, so come on and be unreasonably prominent!
Attendance is mandatory; predominantly red clothing is mandatory, and – although not compulsory – to be wearing a dress would be thoughtful. Obviously no accusations for those not falling in line…
Whilst also not de rigeur there will be a special prize for anyone idiotic enough to attempt the event in stiletto heels.
Further, and as is the tradition, we’ll be looking for ways to raise a good contribution for a charity;

D’erections;Take subway line 1. Go to Dawang Lu, and leave by exit B. Turn to your right – that is, your right – and walk to the enormous intersection of two of Beijing’s roads. Turn right, and follow your nose going to the south. Cross another excellent example of road design, no traffic jams at all, and cross the river (Tonghui he) then turn first right. Walk until you have to make a decision, turn right and enter the Beijing Advertising nexus. Your destination is at the end of the area then in front of you.
There will be resto-this-way marks, and for the hard of understanding there will be a pin on the day.
There’s only modest risk; Dawanglu station isn’t actually closed, and you can easily escape to the surface then walk or bike to the meet-up point, but take care crossing the main roads. Chinese drivers…..
As usual, this is an adult activity in which we behave like children so expect to see nonsense, licentiousness, a modest level of drunkenness and considerable rude behaviour going on. Don’t be offended; we’re always like that. You can of course take part, but be polite, don’t be purposefully rude and remember that if you’re running there’s no winner. Oh, and you’ll need to bring a green jiankangbao with a sufficiently-recent hesuan or we’ll be all huffy.
