For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

WE WANT YOU to join us to celebrate America’s birthday on the 4th of July (2012)!
The party will start at 2 pm and last until 10 pm (?).
The party’s location will be Changchun’s Goose Island (Da’edao or Dahedao), just south of the Jilin University south campus.
Costs
Cover charge: 30 RMB, in return you will receive 2 hamburgers or 2 hot dogs or one of each, plus a plate of side dishes.
Cash bar: beer prices range from 5 to 12 RMB.
Travel: approximately 20 RMB taxi ride from Guilin Road.
In addition, we (hopefully) will stage a re-enactment of the famous naval battle between the warships Bonhomme Richard (U.S.) and Serafis (U.K.). It might not be too historically accurate, but it’ll be entertaining! Plus, other activities will be announced soon.
Lastly, if it rains, still come. We even have a spacious shelter to use to continue the party.

I can sing. If you need a barotone. I can sing.
anyone wanting to particpate in the music should send me a message so we can arrange
Just to let you know, I added a daily holiday quiz.
Music? Hmmm, good question. Langley is working on that end and we hope to update everyone by the end of the week. Goose island has a great stage for musical acts. If we can get a band or two, maybe an evening concert will be included. No promises at the present time.
Looking at the banner....I guess Mr. T, Rambo and Chuck Norris can double as "bodyguards" or security - if things get outta control
I think playing American rock as a "soundtrack" in the background would be a better idea: "Draw the Line" Aerosmith, "Fortunate Son" CCR, "The Joker" Steve Miller Band, "Yellow Ledbetter" Pearl Jam, "Touch of Grey" Grateful Dead, "25 to 6 to 4" Chicago, "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" Nirvana. Etc, etc.
Matt- I think you would be hard-pressed to find anyone to sing the Muppet Song...maybe those who teach the younger set like Heather and Mr. Choonie.
The final two in the banner....is that Tonya Harding and El Rushbo?
NOW THERE is a truly WEIRD pairing. (Not surprising considering Elton John sung at Rush's 4th wedding...)
Dolly Parton, The Hoff, The Brady Bunch, Ronald McDonald, Bill O'Reilly(lol)!
That's quite a diverse, perverse line-up you got as entertainment, John (lol).
Might as well throw in the band KISS, the Blue Angels U.S. Navy Flying Acrobatic Team, an American Idol contest and some WWF wrestlers! (lol)
Matt, love your CCF banner and, yes, I can name everyone on it.
