Get a Limited Edition Hot & Spicy Festival Gift While They Last
Having gotten a flurry of snow
out of its system over the weekend, it seems like Beijing is now well
on its way to embracing spring and the excitement that comes with the
warming of bones, the changing of your wardrobe, and a massive dose of
spicy fun courtesy of our inaugural Hot & Spicy Festival on Apr 14-15 at Galaxy Soho.
As
an incentive to get your tickets early (apart from them being cheaper,
guaranteeing your spot at the festival, and allowing quicker access to
the venue upon arrival), we're also giving away a limited edition Hot & Spicy branded bandana for
every presale ticket. In order to demonstrate just how versatile (and,
of course, exquisitely fashionable) our bandanas are, we called upon our
very own strapping bao'an to model the apparel:
We call this style "the bandit" ...
... and this one the "why did I agree to do this" ...
...
Let's just say that he was more than chuffed to accessorize his plain,
old, state-provided red armband. Bonus round, we also convinced this waimai guy to glam-up his bike:
Turns
out this humble cut of decorative cloth goes with almost everything and
it's no exaggeration that these babies are already poised to be 2018's
must-have streetwear fashion item. (Don't worry, if you decide not to
buy presale tickets but then encounter deep feelings of envy at the
actual event, we'll be selling them on-site, too.) If that's not enough
to have you scrambling for tickets, let us remind you that the Hot &
Spicy weekend will also be host to:
Forty of Beijing's top food and beverage purveyors, complete with their fieriest chili-infused grub and burn-placating drinks (see here for the list of vendors as it currently stands)
Live music, DJs, and entertainment in the form of dances, performances, and interactive games
Our Eighth Hot Chili Pepper Eating Competition (more info on how to take part here)
