#SUMHK APRIL 16 – #4SQDAY CELEBRATION AT DROP LOUNGE, OPENBAR UPDATES, XISHI MASSAGE

April 13, 2012 by shkadmin

This upcoming #SUMHK is going to land on #4sqDay so we have decided to have #SUMHK at the Drop Lounge in Central where we all can celebrate #4sqDay in style!

Not only will there be free shots for all people who checkin (via whatever medium you like, not just Foursquare, and you may be getting a surprise if you checkin via Openbar) and happy hour that last for 3 hours (from 7pm-10pm), a masseuse will be there as well to give you a MASSAGE, thanks to Xishi, a Hong Kong startup that pioneered premium mobile massage service online! We’ll see if we can incorporate massage to future SUMHK, hehe, we wish!

Besides short pitches by Openbar and Xishi, we will be giving away Foursquare swags as well! We look forward to chilling with all of you this coming Monday!

Please note that this #SUMHK is not at Boot but will be at:

Venue: Drop Lounge, 39-43 Hollywood Road (entrance is on Cochrane Street down an alley next to Ben and Jerry’s)

Time: 7pm-10pm (Openbar and Xishi will speak at around 8pm)

Date: April 16th
